Accelerated Hardware Innovation Adoption

  • ioOptimize automatically integrates new hardware without requiring custom code updates, accelerating deployment.
  • ML algorithms detect hardware upgrades and adjust system operations to maximize efficiency, such as configuring active-active connections for increased bandwidth.
  • Eliminates manual tuning and ensures seamless integration of new network, compute, and storage components. ioOptimize allows VergeOS to instantly leverage new hardware capabilities, reducing the time needed for hardware upgrades.

What are the challenges of using older hardware in a modern data center?

Older hardware often suffers from reduced performance and increased maintenance requirements. Traditional systems may also struggle to integrate aging servers with new equipment. ioOptimize addresses these issues by continuously monitoring the health of old hardware and automatically redistributing workloads to prevent performance degradation. Also VergeOS’ efficiency breaths new life into old server hardware

Why are quad-processor servers more efficient than older hardware?

Quad-processor servers are more power-efficient because they offer significantly higher performance with fewer machines, allowing companies to consolidate workloads. ioOptimize maximizes the benefits of these servers by optimizing workload distribution across their many cores, ensuring efficient use of resources.

How do legacy per-core licensing strategies impact customers trying to build a sustainable data center?

Traditional per-core licensing models penalize customers for adopting efficient, high-density hardware like quad-processor servers. These outdated models can more than double the cost of hardware, discouraging companies from investing in more sustainable infrastructure. VergeIO’s per-server licensing eliminates these barriers, allowing organizations to adopt powerful, energy-efficient servers without incurring extra costs.

What is ioOptimize?

ioOptimize is VergeIO’s built-in feature that uses machine learning (ML) and narrow artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize VergeOS’s performance and resilience. It extends the life of your existing hardware while seamlessly integrating new, power-efficient servers.

How does ioOptimize extend hardware lifespan?

ioOptimize enables VergeOS to support multiple generations of CPUs, storage, and network technologies. It automatically reallocates resources and migrates VMs to optimal nodes when aging or failed hardware is detected, ensuring consistent performance and minimizing downtime.

Can ioOptimize work with older hardware?

Yes! ioOptimize allows customers to mix older and newer hardware in the same environment. It ensures stable operation by balancing workloads across available hardware, regardless of age or vendor.

Can ioOptimize prevent hardware failures on aging servers?

While ioOptimize cannot prevent hardware from aging or failing, it minimizes the impact by automatically migrating VMs to more reliable servers before significant performance issues arise. This keeps your environment running smoothly even when older hardware is in use.

How does ioOptimize help adopt new hardware?

ioOptimize automatically detects and integrates new hardware, such as new CPUs or network cards, without requiring manual updates. It optimizes performance by leveraging the full capabilities of the new hardware and dynamically adjusting system operations.

What is the “automated scale-down” feature?

The automated “scale-down” feature simplifies the decommissioning of older servers by automatically migrating VMs and data to newer, more efficient hardware. This process helps reduce server counts, along with power, cooling, and space requirements in your data center.

How does ioOptimize improve sustainability?

ioOptimize helps reduce your data center’s energy consumption by enabling the adoption of fewer, more power-efficient servers. Additionally, VergeIO’s per-server licensing model ensures that you can upgrade to more powerful hardware without incurring additional software costs, supporting your sustainability goals from day one.

Is ioOptimize included in the standard VergeOS license?

Yes, ioOptimize is fully integrated into VergeOS and is included at no extra cost within the standard VergeOS license.
