Xsigo Doubles Virtualized I/O To 40 Gbps: Page 3 of 3

Creating and managing large sets of x86 servers, heavily virtualized, is considered one of the attributes of a private cloud inside the enterprise. The additions and enhancements to I/O Director are meant to further support the creation of private clouds, Toor said.

I/O Director VP780 and VP560 models with 40 Gbps speed will be available in December and will be priced at $35,000. The XMS 3.0 management interface is available in October priced at $10,000; one unit can manage three I/O Director appliances.
