Streamline Infrastructure Management

Transform your IT infrastructure with the Xsigo I/O Director, a hardware and software solution that streamlines data center connectivity. Instead of manually connecting servers to multiple network and storage devices, Xsigo creates a data center fabric that allows you to dynamically connect servers to all data center resources -- networks, storage, other servers, even specific virtual machines.

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

Simple Integration, High Performance, Consolidated Management

Create, monitor and manage network and storage connections across all your servers with the Xsigo XMS 3 management interface. On the fly from a single pane of glass, you can create and manage connectivity, monitor performance, and apply rapidly repeatable configurations to any number of servers. And set quality of service parameters to guarantee bandwidth. You can create the equivalent of a cabled connection without ever touching a wire.

Ethernet and InfiniBand Server Connectivity

Only Xsigo offers your choice of fabrics -- standard Ethernet and InfiniBand -- so you can optimize the deployment to meet your performance and cost objectives. Both can be managed from the XMS interface.

Choose Ethernet fabric: the easiest integration. Connects to standard 1G and 10G Ethernet ports on your servers. The only virtual I/O that works with all of the servers you have now.

Or choose InfiniBand fabric: the fastest performance. Choose either 20Gbps or 40Gbps for each server link. Scale to hundreds of nodes.

Benefits of the Xsigo I/O Director include:

• Dynamic connectivity lets you quickly meet new needs
• Eliminate bottlenecks with up to 40G over each connection
• Persistent I/O identities, even through migration

Open and Easy to Manage
With an open, standards-based architecture, the Xsigo I/O Director is non-disruptive and simple to integrate.

 

• Proven with all popular x86 servers, storage, and networking equipment
• Transparent to applications, networking, and storage
• Easily managed through CLI or intuitive GUI
• Integrates with existing management frameworks via an open API
