VergeIO announced the availability of ioMetrics, a Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution purpose-built to provide granular observability across VergeOS environments.
ioMetrics gives organizations detailed insight into the storage, compute and networking layers — streamlining performance management, capacity planning, and proactive alerting.
ioMetrics brings third-party monitoring to VergeOS environments for the first time and is designed for integration with modern observability platforms like Grafana, LogicMonitor, and Dynatrace.
“Our customers want the power of VergeOS with the visibility of enterprise observability stacks,” said Jason Yaeger, SVP of Engineering at VergeIO. “ioMetrics bridges that gap, giving IT teams the insights they need to scale confidently and resolve issues before they impact users.”
ioMetrics collects and publishes detailed metrics from VergeOS environments, with a focus on three key layers:
- vSAN Tier Monitoring: Capacity, usage, and allocation per tier; transaction and repair counts; drive health and temperature; and detailed read/write performance metrics.
- Cluster Insights: Total and online node tracking; memory and CPU usage; number of active virtual machines; and fault domain visibility.
- Node and Hardware Metrics: Per-core CPU utilization, network interface throughput, drive utilization and health stats, and node-level availability reporting.
These metrics are exposed via a lightweight HTTP endpoint and scraped natively by Prometheus. ioMetrics is written in Go and designed for minimal resource usage.
Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), and Bare Metal Service Providers (BMS) are rapidly adopting ioMetrics to bring real-time infrastructure visibility into their operational workflows. By integrating VergeOS via ioMetrics into their existing dashboards, providers are eliminating blind spots and simplifying how their support and NOC teams monitor health, performance, and availability across their environments.
ioMetrics gives service providers the ability to:
- Consolidate VergeOS metrics into existing Grafana or Prometheus-based dashboards.
- Set real-time alerts for CPU, memory, and storage thresholds.
- Monitor cluster and tenant performance alongside application workloads.
- Detect early warning signs of hardware failure or resource imbalance.
- Build unified views across customer VDCs, hosts, and storage tiers.
“ioMetrics allows our customers to bring VergeOS into the heart of their existing Grafana dashboards,” said Larry Ludlow, Principal Engineer at VergeIO. “They can now correlate VergeOS metrics alongside application data and infrastructure performance for complete situational awareness.”
To meet the needs of heterogeneous IT teams, ioMetrics is available for all major platforms, including:
- Linux
- Windows
- macOS
It can be deployed as a system service and managed alongside existing monitoring agents or infrastructure code.
Benefits for VergeIO Customers
- Enhanced Visibility: Track key performance indicators across vSAN, cluster, and node layers using open monitoring tools.
- Proactive Issue Detection: Monitor drive health, repair cycles, CPU stress, and thermal conditions before they cause service disruptions.
- Optimized Capacity Planning: Plan hardware growth based on accurate usage and trend data—down to individual drives and cores.
- Seamless Integration: Easily integrate VergeOS with Prometheus-based stacks including Grafana, LogicMonitor, and Dynatrace.
- Cross-Platform Support: Deploy ioMetrics wherever you monitor—Linux servers, macOS laptops, or Windows desktops.
“Monitoring isn’t optional — it’s essential,” added Yan Ness, CEO of VergeIO. “ioMetrics brings the depth of infrastructure monitoring our customers need, with the open ecosystem support they expect.”

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
