VergeIO, the Ultraconverged Infrastructure (UCI) company, today announced its inclusion in the 2023-24 DCIG TOP 5 Rising Vendors HCI Software Solutions Report. The company was awarded placement on this list based on an evaluation of VergeOS features in the categories of deployment capabilities, data protection, product and performance management, and technical support.

DCIG evaluated 15 software solutions for hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) use cases across these four different categories. The report provides guidance on the TOP 5 Rising Vendors that organizations should consider for HCI software solutions, including a profile of VergeIO and the notable features that earned it a DGIG TOP 5 award.

“IT organizations have a number of issues to consider these days, such as funding challenges, limited resources, management complexity, and providing IT services at the edge,” writes report author Todd Dorsey, Senior Storage Analyst at DCIG. “IT leaders look for solutions that solve problems and provide positive outcomes in many ways. HCI software fulfills these goals while addressing current IT challenges.”

VergeOS moves beyond legacy HCI configuration with its ultra-converged infrastructure (UCI) which integrates virtualization, storage, and networking into a single piece of software. This integration provides a high degree of efficiency that enables VergeOS to deliver more performance from existing hardware and a wide range of scale. VergeOS can scale up to meet the needs of the enterprise and scale down to fit the constraints of the edge.

This ability to create a data center operating system from a single piece of software was among the “Distinguishing Features” listed in the report for VergeOS, as were the benefits of, data center agility and unified management of disparate clusters. These characteristics were included with the benefits provided by HCI software, in general, to offer IT leaders a solution that they can deploy to adapt to the changing needs of their organization to ensure that they can respond to new business requirements and opportunities.

“I am thrilled that Verge.IO has been recognized as a DCIG TOP 5 HCI solution,” said Yan Ness, CEO of VergeIO. “Our goal has always been to deliver a simple, efficient, and scalable IT infrastructure solution that is easy to use and provides superior performance and value to our customers. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and the impact that VergeIO is having on our customers’ businesses.”

Dorsey joins DCIG’s Principal Storage Analyst Ken Clipperton and VergeIO’s CMO George Crump for a live, 1-hour webinar discussing how to overcome “The Not So Magnificent Seven Challenges of Small to Medium Sized Data Centers” on May 24 at 1 p.m. EDT.
