Virtensys: Improving Virtual I/O Management
Virtensys, Beaverton, Ore., introduced its Virtensys Virtual I/O VM Plugin, which allows virtual machine administrators to manage the vendor's VIO-4000 series of I/O virtualization appliances within their native management context for their virtual data center environments. This allows virtual machine administrators to define "virtualized" I/O interfaces for both 10-GgE and 8-Gbps Fibre Channel connectivity via a wizard-driven I/O provisioning utility. This becomes important, according to Virtensys, as companies move to increase their "virtual-to-physical" ratios but find themselves hampered by I/O-starved physical servers and traditional I/O deployment complexity.
