Xsigo Systems
Xsigo Systems is the technology leader in I/O virtualisation, a data centre solution that dramatically reduces operational expense by changing the way that servers are connected to networks and storage.
The problem with today’s server I/O is time, cost, and complexity. Fixed I/O resources — such as cards, cables, and switches — cause applications to become locked to servers. Even simple moves, adds, and changes become long projects that require coordination between multiple groups.

Xsigo I/O Director
The Xsigo I/O Director™ replaces I/O cards with virtual resources (virtual NICs and HBAs) that can be deployed as required and transparently moved among servers. It also consolidates cabling, eliminating 70% of the server I/O cable plant.
The result is a 100x more responsive infrastructure where changes become far simpler to implement, applications can be provisioned with the exact connectivity they need in seconds rather than days or weeks, and software re-cabling eliminates the need to enter the data centre.
Without Xsigo With Xsigo
Benefits of the Xsigo I/O Director include:
° Consolidates I/O for 70% fewer cards and cables.
° Reduces capital expense by up to 50% with fewer I/O components.
° Lowers operational expense: Time required for moves, adds, and changes falls 80%.
° Improves performance and scalability via a hardware-based architecture with custom silicon.
° Delivers future-proof, pay-as-you-grow expansion based on a modular design.
° Offers broad interoperability through an open, standards-based approach.
The ideal complement to server virtualisation, Xsigo can also provision connectivity to individual virtual machines. Partitioning and quality of service guarantees become simple, even in shared resource environments.
