### Evaluating VergeOS against VMware

Start with [Run the platform: What is VergeOS](/run-the-platform/platform-overview/what-is-vergeos.md) and [Transitioning from VMware](/run-the-platform/platform-overview/transition-from-vmware.md).
{% endstep %}

### Designing a new deployment

Move into [Plan and deploy](https://docs.vergeos-demo.com/plan-and-deploy/) for sizing, network design, install sequencing, and reference architectures.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Operating and protecting the estate

Use [Automate, protect, and extend](https://docs.vergeos-demo.com/automate-protect-and-extend/) for snapshots, site syncs, recipes, API keys, CLI flows, and Private AI.
