VergeIO Simplifies VMware Migration: 100 VMs Migrated in Seconds
06 Agosto 2024 - 7:55AM
Business Wire
Organizations seeking a robust VMware alternative often face
concerns about the time and operational disruptions associated with
migrating to a new platform. VergeIO, a leading innovator in data
center virtualization, has addressed these concerns by
demonstrating the capability to migrate over 100 VMware Virtual
Machines (VMs) in less than five seconds. This remarkable
achievement significantly outpaces other alternative solutions,
which average 3 to 7 minutes per VM, translating to a lengthy 5 to
12 hours for migrating 100 VMs.
Why Migration Time Matters
Migration speed is critical for several reasons. Firstly,
organizations need to thoroughly test their applications for
compatibility and performance consistency on the new platform. Slow
migration can extend testing periods, potentially resulting in
incomplete or inadequate testing and unforeseen issues when the
alternative platform goes live.
Secondly, slow migration times can lead to extended downtimes
when switching to an alternative solution permanently. After
testing, the final migration must capture a clean data copy while
the VMware VM is down. Slow migrations either necessitate migrating
one VM at a time to minimize outages or result in significant
multi-hour outages during the cutover.
VergeIO's Innovative Solution
VergeOS, VergeIO's flagship solution, integrates the VMware
migration function to convert hundreds of VMs in seconds,
addressing both concerns. This rapid migration capability enables
the quick creation of test environments. VergeIO's Virtual Data
Center technology allows for multiple instances of each environment
to be created simultaneously for parallel testing at scale.
Additionally, VergeOS' integrated global inline deduplication
minimizes capacity impact.
For production environments, VergeOS ensures minimal downtime.
The integrated migration function performs block-level updates of
VMs, allowing for a quick sync to capture the latest production
data set post-testing. IT teams need only to power on the VM,
facilitated by VergeOS' rapid boot times, which are 3x faster than
VMware. Consequently, most customers can transition applications
from VMware to VergeOS with less than a minute of downtime.
"VergeIO's migration capabilities exceeded our expectations,”
said Darrin Whitney, CIO of YANA Systems. "We were able to migrate
hundreds of VMs with minimal downtime, which allowed us to focus on
optimizing our environment and providing value to our customers.
VergeOS has significantly improved our operational efficiency."
Post-Migration Benefits
- Cost Efficiency: VergeOS reduces operational costs
through optimized resource utilization and reduced infrastructure
requirements. This efficiency allows organizations to allocate
budgets and resources to other strategic initiatives.
- Enhanced Security: VergeOS continues to employ advanced
encryption and security protocols to ensure data integrity and
confidentiality, providing ongoing protection for sensitive
information.
- Scalability: VergeOS supports dynamic scaling, allowing
organizations to expand their virtual environments as needed
easily. This flexibility ensures that IT infrastructure can grow in
line with business demands.
- Simplified Management: VergeOS offers a user-friendly
interface and comprehensive management tools, streamlining ongoing
operations and making it easier for IT teams to manage and monitor
virtual environments.
- Improved Performance: Organizations benefit from
VergeOS' optimized performance, which enhances application speed
and reliability. This results in a more responsive and efficient IT
environment, contributing to overall operational excellence.
"At VergeIO, we understand the critical importance of minimizing
operational disruption during migration. Our ability to migrate
over 100 VMs in less than five seconds showcases our commitment to
delivering seamless and efficient solutions for our customers,"
said Jason Yaeger, SVP of Engineering, VergeIO. “We are proud to
offer a technology that not only accelerates the migration process
but also ensures compatibility and performance consistency,
enabling organizations to transition confidently to VergeOS."
Live Demonstration
VergeIO will host a live demonstration to showcase this
breakthrough in VMware migration technology. During the session,
attendees will witness the migration of 100 VMware VMs to VergeOS
in real-time, demonstrating the speed and efficiency of our
solution. This event will provide a firsthand look at how VergeOS
can transform IT operations with minimal disruption. Register here:

About VergeIO
VergeIO is the leading VMware Alternative. Unlike hyperconverged
infrastructure (HCI), its ultraconverged infrastructure (UCI)
collapses the traditional IT stack (computing, storage, and
networking) into an integrated data center operating environment,
VergeOS. Its efficiency enables greater workload density using
existing hardware while improving data resiliency. The result is
dramatically lower costs, improved availability, and greatly
simplified IT.
