Software as a Service

Cloud computing demands a flexible, on-demand pool of compute resources. To accomplish this, server I/O must be quickly configurable, without disruption.

Xsigo virtual I/O eliminates the connectivity constraints that limit your ability to deploy servers when and where they are needed. Xsigo replaces conventional cards and cables with dynamically configurable resources that let you connect any server to any network or storage resource at any time.

• Dynamic connectivity: Connect any server to any network or storage without changing cards or cabling
• Quality of Service: Configure quality of service controls to set network and storage bandwidth parameters
• Universal connectivity: Just one cable to each server enables 1GE, 10GE, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NAS connectivity
• High performance: Fast, 20Gb bandwidth to each server to eliminate I/O bottlenecks
• Single screen management: View and manage all I/O resources from one console
• Automation-friendly: Open API to enable integration with management software
• Remotely manageable: Reconfigure I/O without visiting the data center

With Xsigo, I/O management is accomplished in minutes, not hours or days. The result is greater server utilization, better application performance, and lower overall costs.
