What is I/O Virtualisation? - The Who, What, Why, Where, When and How

The virtualisation of I/O represents the final step towards a complete, end to end, virtualisation solution in the data centre. In this independent white paper commissioned by Zycko, we will explore why I/O virtualisation is needed, the alternative strategies and technologies proposed by vendors and position each of these technologies against each other.

Unique Management Capabilities of Xsigo’s Quality of Service

This paper discusses the Quality of Service (QoS) functionality for the Xsigo I/O Director and the mechanisms Xsigo’s QoS uses to manage I/O congestion in a network to ensure that applications have sufficient network and storage resources to communicate effectively and appropriately for the variety of traffic they use. Using QoS, a network can be configured for stable and predictable end-to-end performance, allow for aggressive setting of SLAs and ensure that those SLAs are met.

Xsigo I/O Director Technical Overview

The Xsigo I/O Director™ consolidates server I/O to simplify management and increase utilization. The system replaces a server’s multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel interfaces with a single highspeed, low-latency InfiniBand link and enables the creation of multiple virtual Ethernet interfaces (vNICs) and virtual Fibre Channel interfaces (vHBAs) over that link. The virtual interfaces are established using Xsigo’s virtualization hardware and Xsigo’s host drivers.

Xsigo Virtual Desktop Infrastructure White paper

Virtual Desktop infrastructure (VDI) is the term used for management of virtual user desktops in the Enterprise. The architecture is comprised of multiple components, but primarily dependant on the virtualized infrastructure. The benefits gained from virtualizing servers in the Datacenter are now being looked at for the desktop, enabling organizations to reduce management and operational costs while ensuring a reliable, consistent and secure experience for the end user.

Xsigo’s Benefits for Managed Service Providers

An increasing number of businesses now rely on managed service providers (MSPs) to provide a competitive advantage. With MSPs, these businesses are able to reduce expenses, leverage expertise, and concentrate on their corecompetencies. While this provides a lucrative business opportunity for MSPs, with it comes an increasing level of business complexity. The challenge for MSPs is to meet or exceed service level agreements while maintaining margins and deriving alternate revenue streams from associated features.

How Xsigo Enables High-Performance Computing

In scale-out computing environments, InfiniBand provides a high-speed, low latency server interconnect—but it does not address the issues of external connectivity. To get data in and out of the cluster, Ethernet remains the interconnect of choice. Which raises the question: what is the fastest, most cost efficient way of moving information between these two worlds?
