Published on Feb. 10, 2026

VergeIO, a VMware alternative redefining infrastructure as a Private Cloud Operating System, recorded its strongest year to date with annual recurring revenue growing more than 80% year over year. The company exceeded its 2025 ARR plan by over 25%, driven by increased enterprise adoption of VergeOS and a growing shift away from traditional virtualization toward cloud-style operations on customer-controlled infrastructure.

Why it matters

VergeIO's strong growth highlights the increasing enterprise demand for cloud-style infrastructure management that can be deployed on-premises, as organizations seek to reduce the cost and complexity of traditional virtualization stacks like VMware. VergeIO's Private Cloud Operating System approach provides a simpler and more durable alternative that supports the transition from virtualization to a full-fledged private cloud model.

The details

VergeIO reached its annual sales target before the end of Q3 and closed the year with record sales volume, driven by over 4,000 inbound verified leads and 900 discovery calls. The company added a record number of enterprise customers, including Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, NASA, and Dana-Farber Institute, as organizations sought a simpler and more durable alternative to VMware. Key customer Topgolf selected VergeOS to modernize its IT infrastructure across corporate offices, data centers, and venue-edge locations, replacing a large VMware deployment with a streamlined three-node architecture at each site.
