VergeIO and Cirrus Data Unite to End Infrastructure Sprawl with Joint Universal Migration Path and Unifying Platform

VergeIO, Inc., provider of VMware alternative, announced a partnership with Cirrus Data Solutions, Inc. (CDS), provider in data mobility technology and services, to help enterprises eliminate infrastructure sprawl – the costly mix of multiple hypervisors, duplicate tools, and isolated stacks, that has crept into data centers.

The collaboration combines Cirrus Data’s patented software-only data mobility technology with VergeOS, a single-codebase infrastructure OS for virtualization, storage, networking, and AI.

Sprawl has accelerated as organizations juggle VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, OpenStack, and public cloud IaaS. The result is higher licensing spend, fragmented operations, and slow recovery. The 2 companies address both sides of the problem: a universal migration path that keeps production online and a unifying destination that consolidates platforms into 1 operating model.

Cirrus Data delivers zero downtime migrations for clustered applications. Its software-only solution can migrate from nearly any hypervisor, including VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM), Proxmox, OpenStack, and others, in addition to the public cloud IaaS. Organizations can now automate the move of heterogeneous estates on schedule and without disruption.
VergeOS replaces stacked products with a single OS covering virtualization, storage, networking, and AI. Per-server licensing, hardware portability, and deep abstraction extend hardware life and simplify operations across core, edge, ROBO (remote office/branch office), and Venues.

“Sprawl is the tax on indecision,” said Yan Ness, CEO, VergeIO. “Enterprises didn’t plan to run three hypervisors and a cloud sidecar, but that’s where the market led them. Our partnership with Cirrus Data gives IT a practical way out: move everything with minimal downtime and land on a single, cohesive platform.”

“Consolidation isn’t a one-off,” said Wayne Lam, CEO, Cirrus Data. “Our data mobility solutions give organizations an easy, automated way to securely migrate every acquisition or new business unit to VergeOS quickly, regardless of the starting platform. With Cirrus Data and VergeIO, organizations can prevent sprawl from returning and keep operations streamlined.”

According to analysis highlighted in VergeIO’s new white paper and solution brief, enterprises that consolidate into VergeOS with Cirrus Data can reduce 3-year total cost of ownership by 50%+, achieve 12–18 month payback, and gain a platform ready for private AI without standing up separate clusters.
