Xsigo Systems is the technology leader in I/O virtualization. The Xsigo I/O Director™ lets you deploy the server connectivity you need, when you need it, on demand. Server moves, adds, and changes can be made in seconds, not hours or days.  

The Xsigo I/O Director™ allows server I/O to be deployed when and where it’s needed—in seconds. Virtual resources replace multiple physical cards and connections. A single 10Gb server connection replaces multiple cables and can be easily allocated to optimize both storage and networking data delivery. All of these resources can be managed remotely, minimizing the need to enter the data center and nearly eliminating the need to make physical changes to servers.

Whether you’re attaching 20 or 2000 servers, Xsigo’s breakthrough hardware and software architecture lets you overcome the cost and complexity of conventional server I/O.

4x 1Gb Ethernet Module:

The 4x 1Gb Ethernet I/O Module presents up to 64 virtual Gigabit Ethernet NICs* to the host servers. In addition to the Ethernet connectivity, this I/O Module offers Quality of Service controls and server-to-server traffic switching that is significantly faster than traditional Ethernet switching. The module supports four external RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

2x 4Gb Fibre Channel Module:

The 2x 4Gb Fibre Channel Module presents up to 64** virtual HBAs per port to the host servers. The virtual HBAs enable advanced Quality of Service with support for committed information rate (CIR) and peak information rate (PIR) traffic shaping. The module supports up to 4 Gbps of throughput across the two ports which auto negotiate to 4, 2 or 1 Gbps.

SSL Offload Module:

The SSL Offload Module offloads processor intensive encryption tasks. Functioning in co-processor mode, the SSL Module presents up to 32 virtual SSL devices to host servers. This module is capable of over 10,000 transactions per second and works in conjunction with the Ethernet I/O Modules.

InfiniBand Interface Module:

The InfiniBand Interface Module presents an additional InfiniBand server interface from an I/O slot. This module supports one Cx4 InfiniBand connection.

* Two virtual NICs per module dedicated for internal card management.
** Two virtual HBAs per module dedicated for internal card management.
