The Cost of the VMware Tax

Explore the financial and operational impacts of the VMware Tax on IT infrastructure. Understand the challenges it poses to VM density, bare-metal workloads, and the need for more powerful servers. Discover how VergeOS offers an efficient alternative with high VM density, flexible scaling, and near bare-metal performance, streamlining the future of data center operations.”

HCI isn’t an Infrastructure

A flexible infrastructure must be able to scale small and large and manage different types of nodes. Learn why HCI can’t meet these requirements in a single solution while UCI, particularly VergeOS, can. Discover how VergeOS allows for starting small with as few as two nodes, scaling up to over a hundred nodes while also integrating different hardware types into the same instance.

VMware Snapshots Have a High Cost

Learn about the costly impact of VMware snapshots on storage and backup infrastructure. Explore VergeIO’s efficient alternative, IOclone, for superior data protection and resilience without the drawbacks of traditional snapshots.

VMware’s Licensing Paywall

Expose the hidden costs of VMware’s licensing paywall. Don’t be surprised by the additional expenses caused by the modular licensing model. Discover the true impact on your organization’s budget.

The High Cost of Dedicated Storage

Discover the solution to the high cost of dedicated storage! VergeIO’s Ultraconverged Infrastructure (UCI) eliminates inefficiencies of dedicated arrays and HCI. Learn how to say goodbye to expensive refresh cycles and embrace the future of truly converged infrastructure without compromise.

VMware’s Cost of Doing Nothing

Discover the hidden costs of sticking with VMware. While VMware’s pricing is already increasing, there are other factors to consider. Explore the inefficiencies of ESXi, which result in a virtualization tax and premature server refreshes. Uncover the limitations of VMware’s rigid hardware compatibility list and its impact on scalability. Most VMware alternatives fall short of solving these issues. However, VergeOS emerges as a cost-effective, flexible, and feature-rich solution, offering superior performance and integration at a fraction of the cost.
