About Virtensys I/O Virtualization Solutions
The Virtensys VIO-4000 switches consolidate and share server I/O resources. The switches connect to servers via the native PCI Express interconnect and eliminate network and storage cable, as well as access layer switches from the racks. This substantially reduces I/O power consumption, capital equipment costs, number of cables, server management complexity, and operational expenses by more than 60 percent. The VIO-4000 series are the industry's only I/O virtualization switches that are deployed without any modification to the existing servers or networks in the data center, and support all the major networking and storage connectivity, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI and SAS/SATA. The switches deliver the industry's best server I/O price/performance and lowest energy consumption for accessing network and storage infrastructures through traditional or converged networks.
