Virtual CxO RoundTable — Infrastructures: Edge Computing and Private Cloud
IT infrastructure has become more complex. Organizations must develop a strategy for the Edge and Private Cloud. Join us for our on-demand virtual CxO roundtable with VergeIO CTO Greg Campbell, CEO Yan Ness, and CMO George Crump as they take your Edge and Private Cloud questions live.
Also, learn about new strategies for Edge Computing and Private Cloud that provide a viable and less expensive alternative to the Public Cloud.
After the roundtable, we will demonstrate the VergeOS Atria, the latest release of VergeIO’s operating system that delivers an Edge Computing infrastructure that:
- Scales Small: Create a powerful data center that fits into a shoebox
- Provides a mesh-like management network for easy remote monitoring and management
- Delivers extreme high availability in both hardware redundancy and management resiliency
We will also discuss our new Recipe Marketplace that enables a catalog-like deployment of virtual machines and entire workloads. Now you can create a private cloud experience that rivals public clouds for a fraction of the cost.
Learn how to turn your data center into a private cloud that:
- Provides point-and-click deployment of virtual machines or entire workloads
- Enforces accurate data protection and disaster recovery policies
- Is customizable to offer a deployment catalog to customers and users.
Beyond HCI — The Next Step in Data Center Infrastructure Evolution
It has been two decades since Storage Area Networking (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) emerged as dominant parts of the IT infrastructure. In the last decade, we’ve seen Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) and Public Cloud arrive as alternatives. Each of these infrastructure iterations has failed in its primary mission: to reduce IT costs and complexity.
It is time to complete the mission! Organizations need an infrastructure that can reduce IT costs and complexity!
Join VergeIO for our on-demand webinar “Beyond HCI — The Next Step in Data Center Infrastructure Evolution.” During the webinar, we introduce the next step in infrastructure, ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI). During the webinar, we will explain what UCI is, how it works, and how it enables YOUR data center to deliver a more cost-effective and less complicated data center operating environment than SAN, NAS, HCI, or the Public Cloud.

VergeIO (Yan Ness, CEO)
Mass digitization still accelerating (and will continue to do so)
- Data creation, data consumption, staff and Opex costs, and cost of capital will create significant pressure on CIOs and, ultimately the bottom lines of everyone. It’s the data’s fault.
- No one has less data or computing needs than last year, never has or ever will. When does it plateau? Has anyone heard of Metaverse? The need for more compute, and more data will accelerate.
- Cost-of-capital constraints may limit investment, but the rapid consumption and distribution of data will not. The rate of data created is no longer dependent on economic conditions.
Computing will be more and more distributed
- Latency will require we spread the ability to run workloads as we spread peanut butter on a piece of bread – easily and evenly to the Edge, Core Data Center and cloud.
- Your phone will do more of the work than the cloud. It’ll have to because the sum of 1 billion phones will out-compute all the data centers.
Capital constraints will continue, and CIOs will seek more cost controls
- Capex is expensive as ever, and so are staff. Organizations need something that runs on cheaper hardware and requires less staff. This will be especially true as workloads need to run further and further away from a data center.
Complexity will come to a head for public cloud (big one)
- We will need new, innovative ways to better leverage software to deliver cloud-like capabilities, everywhere, in a much simpler way. The new FinOps career path is evidence that the cloud has become too complex. It’s ironic that FinOps salaries, overhead, and tools will need to be added to the cost structure of the public cloud for an accurate TCO analysis.
- Microsoft Windows commoditized computing and put it on the laps and in the hands of everyone. Before that, only hobbyists and experts used computers. Ken Olsen, the former CEO of Digital (DEC), famously said, “why would anyone need a computer in a home?” The cost of computing entered a paradigm shift with Windows and the PC. It’s time for the same disruption to “cloud computing”.
