Virtensys I/O Virtualisation Products

Virtensys I/O Virtualization switches dramatically reduce data center capital and operational expenses by consolidating and virtualizing I/O resources, creating virtual I/O resources from them for simultaneous, active sharing with multiple connected servers. The consolidation and virtualization of I/O resources results in reducing rack and blade server management costs by more than 60%, power and cooling costs by up to 30% and equipment costs by as much as 50%.

Virtensys VIO-4000 Series I/O Virtualization Switches

The simplest and fastest way to deploy data and storage connectivity to servers

VIO-4001 Delivers virtual I/O adapters for LAN/SAN/DAS connectivity		VIO-4008 Delivers virtual I/O for LAN/SAN/DAS connectivity Adds share SAS/SATA disk storage

Virtensys VIO-4000 series is a top-of-the rack I/O solution that eliminates the need for a layer of server adapter ports and LAN/SAN access switch from a rack of servers. A single PCI Express cable between the VIO-4000 switch and the server delivers Ethernet / Fibre Channel / SAS / SATA connectivity to servers as needed. The solution is wired once, and all I/O resource moves/adds/changes can be made from an embedded remote management web console, without any physical touch. The VIO-4000 series can be deployed in all popular high availability deployment models — including active/active, N+1 redundancy. Please see I/O Virtualization Benefits for more information.

Virtensys I/O Virtualization switches enable the best price/performance and non-disruptive deployment of server and storage I/O connectivity in the data center. The IOV switches are deployed in the data center as:

• Rack-mount units: The VIO-4000 series
• Switch modules for blade systems

Virtensys I/O Virtualization switches are available through the Virtensys worldwide partner network. The blades switches are available only from Original Equipment Manufacturers.

Virtensys has made significant breakthroughs in PCI Express switching and hardware-accelerated virtualization technology. This enables Virtensys to extend its product line to virtualize and share memory within a cluster enabling faster inter-process communication, support solid-state disks and high performance storage units.
