I/O Virtualisation
Xsigo I/O Director transforms IT infrastructure. A combination hardware and software solution which streamlines server I/O management. Instead of deploying multiple I/O cards and cables to each server Xsigo connects servers with single I/O resources meaning 100x faster server management, 70% fewer cards and cables and up to 50% less capital cost.
I/O Virtualisation Delivers Flexibility, Cost Savings
The Xsigo I/O Director employs virtualisation to flexibly connect servers to networks and storage. Xsigo eliminates the physical storage and networking cards found in every server and replaces them with virtual NICs and virtual HBAs that can be deployed on the fly. Applications and operating systems see these virtual resources exactly as they would see their physical counterparts and the result is an I/O architecture that is much easier to manage, far more cost-effective, and fully open.
High Performance with open systems
Put an end to performance bottlenecks. With Xsigo, applications get the exact connectivity they need when they need it, with the added benefits of guaranteed I/O performance and isolation for security—even when multiple applications coexist on the same physical server. Intelligent QoS (Quality of Service) features guarantee specific bandwidth to critical applications.
Xsigo is committed to open standards; existing servers, network devices and storage can be from any standards-based vendor and any future additions can easily co-exist leaving options open.
