About VirtenSys IOV Products
VirtenSys I/O virtualization products create virtualized I/O clouds where servers' I/O resources are pooled, consolidated, and dynamically allocated on demand based on the applications needs. The VIO 4000 switches connect directly to multiple physical servers and support Intel 10 GE NICs, Neterion 10GE NICs, QLogic Fibre Channel HBAs and LSI SAS/SATA MegaRAID Controllers. The switches can be deployed immediately and provide additional key benefits to customers, including:

  • Extend the data center life cycle by eliminating multiple layers of aggregation switches, I/O adapters, disk drives, and cables
  • Reduce management expenses by minimizing human intervention and removing the need for physical reconfiguration
  • Protect organizations' investments in their IT infrastructure by being totally transparent to servers, networks, and management processes
  • Enable new usage models by seamlessly integrating with traditional or virtualized data centers
  • Enhance data center reliability by supporting multiple failover schemes, including active-active, active-passive and N+1 redundancy
