How do the VIO-4000 series of switches differ from other IOV solutions?
• VIO-4000 switches utilize the native PCIe standard interconnect available on every server and don’t require the deployment of a new network (such as InfiniBand or DCB/CEE) in the data center. • VIO-4000 switches are non-disruptive to the existing servers, networks and storage infrastructures. The switches use off-the shelf PCIe I/O adapters and don’t require any changes to the servers, OS, applications, I/O adapters or device drivers. • VIO-4000 switches provide industry best I/O price / performance and lowest energy usage for deploying network and storage connectivity to servers. • VIO-4000 switches preserve previous investments in people, process and technology. • VIO-4000 switches are the only products that can virtualize all of server I/O including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and RAID adapter types.
