Server-Based Licensing: Licensing is based on the physical server, not per-core. With the VergeOS and NETdepot partnership, you can architect the hardware you need to solve your challenges without worrying about your software costs doubling or tripling as a result. In most cases, VergeOS is up to 50% less expensive than VMware and NETdepot’s VergeOS hosting plans include licensing costs.
Simple Migration: Migrating from VMware to VergeOS is as simple as it gets: point VergeOS to your vCenter console, select the VMs to migrate, and click import. Within moments, the VM will be running in the VergeOS environment.
Hardware Flexibility: VergeOS instances can start with as few as two nodes and scale to hundreds of nodes. Within that instance, various server types with different brands, processors, and storage configurations can exist. VergeOS can be installed onto your existing hardware, and its efficiency can breathe new life into it.
Server Customization: NETdepot and Supermicro provide extensive customization options, allowing customers to tailor their server configurations to specific requirements. This flexibility enables businesses to build solutions that precisely meet their performance, scalability, and budgetary needs.
Energy Efficiency: Supermicro places a strong emphasis on energy efficiency in their designs, helping customers reduce power consumption and operating costs. Features such as efficient power supplies, optimized cooling systems, and energy-saving components contribute to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over the lifespan of the infrastructure.
Scalability: Supermicro server chassis are designed with scalability in mind, allowing for easy expansion as your business grows. This scalability ensures that your infrastructure can adapt to increasing demands without the need for major overhauls.
24/7 Support: Our dedicated team is always available to assist you, promptly addressing any concerns or issues.

A bare metal server is a physical server which is dedicated to a single tenant. These servers are well known for providing a great performance, no matter what. Bare metal servers offer a range of benefits for businesses hoping to expand, and they’re vital if a company wants to ensure the reliability of its systems even if the unexpected happens.
A bare metal server eliminates unnecessary layers, by installing the operating system directly on the server. This results in enhanced capabilities which can be used to improve on the performance of the server itself.
Bare metal servers are commonly housed at specialized data centers, where they are maintained and secured by dedicated teams of experienced IT professionals. However, bare metal servers can also make up part of a company’s in-house provision, if a company has the expertise and space required to facilitate this.
Bare metal servers and cloud servers both offer some great benefits to small and medium sized businesses, particularly when you look at their hardware performances and elimination of hardware failure risks. However, there are a few marked differences in the experience that these types of servers provide, which are worth looking into before you decide on the best option for your company.
Cloud servers are of course cloud-based. This means that their resources are shared virtually, which can result in limitations that may hold a system back. There are benefits to be had from cloud servers, though, and these are clearest when you look at how easily customizable cloud servers are. The servers are easy to adjust to any system requirements, and can be scaled up or down – as and when required.
Bare metal servers aren’t quite as easy to scale as cloud servers, but they do not share resources. So, bare metal servers are able to offer a better level of security to tenants, and the costs of storage on bare metal servers tend to be lower than that of their cloud-based counterparts too.
While bare metal servers are a relatively new phenomenon, their more traditional counterparts are the better known dedicated servers. At first glance, the capabilities of these two types of servers may seem remarkably similar. But delve a little deeper and you’ll soon see that bare metal servers offer an experience that’s quite different.
Dedicated servers give users complete control over a physical machine, and they don’t require users to share space with others while using the server. So, they’re a good option for websites that tend to attract high volumes of traffic, and they’re well used by many popular web applications. They’re widely recognized as a reliable option for large-scale businesses, and they tend to offer a good level of performance.
Bare metal servers also offer a great performance every time, but the ways in which they do so are a little different. Bare metal servers eliminate some layers, to drive up performance in a way that users can really see. Provisioning protocols are refined by bare metal servers, and set up times are far shorter thanks to the process automation.
If you’re using a bare metal server, it’s vital that you understand how to backup the server in case anything were to go wrong. Bare metal servers do offer a good level of security, so it’s unlikely that you would need to use your backups in a real emergency. But it’s always good practice to ensure that your bare metal server is backed up regularly just in case.
There are several different ways to coordinate and manage backups of a bare metal server, so the best option for your needs will depend on your own system requirements. Look into the technical specifications of your bare metal server for full details on how to create backups, and learn how to create the best backups for your system. If you have any questions regarding backups, don’t hesitate to contact our team for advice and assistance.
