Solutions For Network Managers
Virtual I/O provides a simpler and faster way to connect servers to networks. Connect any server to any network - even physically separate networks - and then modify those connections in seconds, without the need to enter the datacentre.
Benefits of Virtual I/O include:
• Deploy any server to any network in seconds
• Remotely manageable
• Redundancy configurable across all network connections
• QoS for a consistent user experience
Standards-based -- connects to conventional 1G or 10G LAN
Why Virtual I/O
Migrate applications from test, to staging, to production with no disruption: Move a server from one physically separate network to another in seconds, with no re-cabling. Software reconfiguration lets you move a virtual NIC from one external port to another. Communication is isolated, so traffic directed to one port is never visible on another.
Less downtime:
Boost availability by configuring redundant connections for all network connections. With Virtual I/O, all connections can be HA without the cost of configuring physical redundancy across all networks.
Faster response:
When re-configuration is required, Virtual I/O makes it easier to respond quickly. Meet your SLAs by re-configuring or moving I/O from one server to another in seconds. Remote management lets you respond from wherever you are.
Predictable user experience:
Maintain a consistent user experience with integrated quality of service management. Each virtual NIC and HBA may be configured with individual peak and committed information rates for highly granular control.
Management granularity for virtual machines:
Bottlenecks can result when multiple VMs share I/O connectivity. With virtual I/O, you can deploy connectivity as needed, even to specific virtual machines.
Higher bandwidth, less latency:
We can boost bandwidth and reduce latency with fast 20Gb links to every server. I/O intensive tasks such as backup and VMotion complete more quickly with high-throughput connectivity.
Scalable I/O for blades:
Escape the physical constraints of I/O connections on blades. With virtual I/O, storage resources can be deployed as needed, up to 32 virtual NICs and 32 virtual HBAs per blade.
Remote, single screen management:
Virtual I/O can be managed from anywhere. With the ability to remotely control all I/O settings, it becomes faster and simpler to respond when changes are needed.
Enhance iSCSI and NAS performance with dedicated networks:
Accelerate Ethernet storage by configuring dedicated networks when needed. Virtual resources can be deployed to all servers, and a new network can be created within the infrastructure Envertica deploy. Any Ethernet connection can access 20Gb of bandwidth when needed. iSCSI or NAS storage benefit from greater performance without the need to connect 10G networks to every server.
