VMware Migrations at Scale
Experience the Power of Rapid VMware Migration with ioMigrate
Rapid Migration - A VMware Exit Requirement
VergeIO is setting a new standard in VMware migration with unparalleled speed and efficiency. In a recent demonstration, we migrated over 100 VMware VMs to VergeOS in less than five seconds. This level of performance drastically reduces downtime, ensuring your business operations continue without interruption.
Fast Migration Matters
- Minimize Downtime—Rapid migration reduces downtime, ensuring business continuity and minimizing disruption to operations.
- Cost Savings—Faster migrations eliminate the need to run parallel hypervisors and hardware.
- Enhance Testing—Near-instant migration enables the quick creation of test environments, facilitating thorough compatibility and performance testing.
- Zero, Post-Migration Tuning—VergeOS migrates all the metadata as well. There is no need to reconfigure or recreate networks or virtual machine settings.
For a complete deep dive into VergeOS' migrations capabilities, register for our on-demand webinar demonstrating a 100 VMware VM Migration, a migration that captures all VMware settings and converts them to VergeOS settings, and how to set up scalable testing of migrated environments.
Minutes of Migration Leads to Hours of Downtime
Many vendors claim that they migrate VMs in minutes, but that is per VM. For example, migrating 100 VMs at two minutes each totals over three hours, and 1,000 VMs would take over 33 hours. This kind of extended migration time is unacceptable for most businesses, leading to productivity loss and significant cutover time. With VergeOS, you can migrate 100 VMs or 1,000 VMs in seconds.
How VergeIO Does it
• Unified Architecture: VergeOS consolidates virtualization, storage, and networking into a single, streamlined codebase. This unified design eliminates the inefficiencies and bottlenecks, allowing for faster and more efficient operations.
• Seamless Integration with VMware: VergeOS' ioMigrate leverages VMware’s Backup API set to capture a precise copy of your data. Administrators simply log the VergeOS VMware service into vCenter.
• Block-Level Updates with CBT Support: With support for VMware’s Changed Block Tracking (CBT), the cut-over time is minimized to the few seconds needed to restart the converted VM under VergeOS.
• Global Inline Deduplication: VergeOS reduces storage needs during and after migration with global inline deduplication.
The Benefits of VergeOS Post-Migration
• Cost Efficiency: VergeOS optimizes resource utilization, reducing infrastructure requirements and saving on operational costs.
• Secure Multi-Tenancy: VergeOS supports secure multi-tenancy, allowing multiple departments or customers to share infrastructure while maintaining strict isolation.
• Scalability: Easily expand your virtual environments as your business needs grow with VergeOS’s dynamic scaling capabilities.
• Simplified Management: User-friendly interface and comprehensive management tools streamline operations.
• Improved Performance: VergeOS enhances application speed and reliability, leading to a more responsive and efficient IT environment.

VergeOS is unique because it integrates virtualization, storage, and networking into a single, streamlined software package. This unified architecture eliminates inefficiencies and bottlenecks commonly found in traditional IT stacks, resulting in faster operations and reduced complexity. Additionally, VergeOS's ability to seamlessly integrate with VMware environments using VMware’s Backup API allows for smooth and efficient migrations with minimal downtime.
In a recent demonstration, VergeOS successfully migrated over 100 VMware VMs to its platform in less than five seconds. This rapid migration is made possible by the efficient, tightly integrated code base as well as advanced technologies like block-level updates, Changed Block Tracking (CBT) support, and global inline deduplication, which significantly reduce the amount of data transferred during migration.
Using backup software for VMware migration might seem convenient, but it’s not designed for the complexities of this process. Backup tools often lack real-time data consistency, leading to potential data loss during migration. They also tend to increase downtime, as backup and restore processes are slower and more resource-intensive than dedicated migration solutions. Additionally, optimized for large-scale migrations. For a smoother, faster, and more reliable migration, using an integrated migration service like VergeOS is a better choice.
VergeOS's two-phased approach, where it first backs up VMware VMs and then later converts them to VergeOS VMs, minimizes downtime by separating the backup and conversion phases, enhances data safety by ensuring a complete backup before conversion, and provides flexibility in scheduling the migration. Additionally, it allows thorough testing of the VergeOS environment before the final cut-over, optimizes resource use, and serves as a secondary backup and disaster recovery solution during the testing and migration phase, ensuring your data is protected throughout the process.
CBT allows VergeOS to track and transfer only the changed data since the last backup rather than copying all data. This reduces the cut-over time to just the few seconds needed to restart the converted VM under VergeOS, minimizing downtime and disruption to your operations.
VergeOS minimizes downtime by using block-level updates and CBT support, allowing rapid cut-over times. This means that the transition from VMware to VergeOS can be completed in seconds, reducing the impact on your business operations. Also VergeOS VM typically boot 5X faster than VMware VMs, which means the converted VM is in production much faster than under VMware.
Yes, VergeOS is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing VMware environment, including its hardware. No rip and replace here. VergeOS can obtain a precise copy of your data using VMware's Backup API set. The setup is straightforward—all the administrator needs to do is log the VergeOS VMware service into vCenter, and the system is ready to interact with your VMware environment.
Post-migration, VergeOS offers several key benefits:
• Cost Efficiency: Reduced infrastructure requirements and optimized resource utilization lead to significant cost savings.
• Enhanced Security: Advanced encryption and security protocols protect your data’s integrity and confidentiality.
• Secure Multi-Tenancy: Multiple departments or customers can share infrastructure while maintaining strict isolation and security.
• Scalability: With dynamic scaling capabilities, you can easily expand your virtual environments as your business needs grow.
• Simplified Management: User-friendly interfaces and comprehensive management tools make managing and monitoring virtual environments easier.
• Improved Performance: Enhanced application speed and reliability ensure a more responsive and efficient IT environment.
Preparation is straightforward. Ensure that your VMware environment is configured correctly and that you have administrative access to vCenter. VergeOS will handle the rest, including setting up the integration and performing the migration with minimal disruption. Ideally, we suggest you use our VMware Migration Plan service, which will create a custom VMware migration strategy for your organization.
