Xsigo Systems is the technology leader in I/O virtualization, a solution that consolidates data center infrastructure to reduce capital costs and operational expense.

Server virtualization inevitably creates I/O bottlenecks created by increased demands on storage and network connectivity. Traditional server I/O was not designed to meet these demands, resulting in high costs, inflexible infrastructure, and sub-optimal performance.

The Xsigo I/O Director™ was designed to complement server virtualization and provide the I/O capabilities that virtualized servers require. It consolidates the I/O infrastructure and replaces traditional host adapter cards with virtual resources (virtual NICs and HBAs) that provide on-demand connectivity – when and where it is needed.

The result is that with Xsigo, IT managers can:

• Connect any server to any network or storage resource
• Configure connectivity in seconds, rather than hours or days
• Eliminate 70% of the server cards, cables, and switch ports
• Reduce capital costs by 50%

As data center managers move to the next generation cloud computing model, they demand the agility and efficiency that Xsigo virtual I/O enables. With Xsigo they can:

• Run any application on any server and instantly provide the needed connectivity
• Ensure predictable application performance with quality of service guarantees
• Maintain network and storage isolation in a shared-resource environment

The combination of Xsigo virtual I/O plus server virtualization completes the vision and utility of the cloud.
