I/O VIRTUALIZATION FOR THE AGILE DATA CENTER
	Dynamically connect servers to networks and storage Up to 40 Gbps per server connection Single cable for multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel links 50% less cost than legacy infrastructure

Converged Infrastructure

The Xsigo I/O Director is a hardware and software solution that gives you a simpler, converged infrastructure.

 

Xsigo consolidates Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections to a single high speed cable -- up to 40 Gbps per link. Instead of deploying multiple I/O cards and cables to every server, Xsigo lets you create connections dynamically in software -- up to 64 isolated connections per device.

 

The result is faster application performance, 100x faster server management, 70% fewer cables and cards, and up to 50% less capital cost.

 

 

 

 

 

Fast, Any-to-Any Connectivity

Xsigo lets you connect any X86 server to any network and storage device, in seconds, regardless of the vendor or the connection type.

 

In this wire-once infrastructure, you connect each server to the I/O Director via a single cable that delivers up to 40 Gbps throughput. Networks and storage connect to the I/O Director via standard Ethernet and Fibre Channel links. You can then create isolated Ethernet and Fibre channel connections from servers to any data center resources in real time, even on live servers.

100X Greater Agility

You need to get the most from your resources, and Xsigo’s dynamic I/O helps you do just that. Re-purpose assets quickly using Xsigo’s intuitive user interface and rich management feature set. Xsigo makes it easy to deploy assets when and where they are needed.

• Single-screen I/O management across the data center
• Create connections via drag-and-drop
• Create templates for repeatable configurations

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saves Cost on Day One

Xsigo converges the infrastructure to save you money on day one. After that, the Xsigo I/O Director delivers further savings with streamlined management. Because Xsigo lets you dynamically connect any server to any network and storage, you can dynamically re-provision assets, achieve greater efficiency, and save on space, power and cooling.

 

 

 

 

Open Standards-Based

Built on open standards, and proven interoperable across systems from all leading vendors, the top-of-rack Xsigo I/O Director integrates easily with existing servers, networks, and SANs.

 

• Achieve infrastructure convergence without vendor lock-in
• Re-use the gear you already have
• Deploy with blade and rack servers from all vendors
