Virtensys is first-to-market with a new class of data center systems that virtualize server I/O resources.
The award-winning VIO-4000 I/O Virtualization series consolidates and virtualizes network and storage connectivity to a rack of servers and provides up to 80 Gbps of Ethernet, up to 32Gbps of FC uplink bandwidth and up to 16TB of local storage connectivity to the servers. The VIO-4000 series also increases the performance of virtualized servers to unprecedented levels by providing VMs with the highest level of connectivity bandwidth and access to I/O line-rate while minimizing the CPU I/O processing overhead. The series enables the deployment of Stateless computing and private cloud environments using industry-standard x86 servers, OS and applications and doesn’t require any fork-lift upgrades.
The VIO-4000 I/O Virtualization series eliminates and consolidates server I/O adapters, network and storage access layer switches and cables in a rack. The series connects to each server using a single PCI Express® (PCIe) cable that connects directly to the server native PCIe bus and is compliant with the PCISIG Single-Root IOV (SR-IOV) and Multi-Root IOV (MR-IOV) specifications. This removes the need to deploy any new network in the data center and 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 first products on the market to consolidate, virtualize and share the major types of server networking and storage connectivity including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI and SAS/SATA. This results in providing the industry’s best I/O price/performance and lowest energy consumption for deploying network and storage connectivity to servers.
The VIO-4000 series enable servers to be wired once, and all I/O resource moves/adds/changes can be made from an embedded remote management web console, without any physical changes in the rack. The VIO-4000 series can be deployed in all popular high availability environments.
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.
Virtensys I/O Virtualization solutions are available through the Virtensys worldwide partner network.
Virtensys also offers a family of I/O virtualization blade modules which are available only from Original Equipment Manufacturers.
