Verge
VergeIO is the future of virtualization and 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.

Configuring Verge for Storware Backup and Recovery

To create NAS service proceed with the following steps:
Log in to Verge admin console
Select NAS from the main menu and then NAS Services, select New
Provide the name of the virtual machine that will be created. Note the name, you will need to provide it in the Storware Backup and Recovery while adding hypervisor. You can adjust other options to your needs. When configuring network parameters please consider that the virtual machine must be accessible for the node.
Make sure that the "Allow Export" option is checked.
Power on the create machine
Adding hypervisor managers
When creating the hypervisor manager, provide the following data in the General tab fields:
URL - Verge URL, e.g. https://VERGE_IPT:PORT
Username - Verge user
Password - password for the user
In the "Verge settings" tab provide the name of the NAS service virtual machine created in the previous step.
