Technology to Virtualice Connectivity
The Cloud Computing Era Places Demands on Data Centre Infrastructure that cannot be met Through Traditional Networking Technologies
Xsigo to Market with Virtualised Server Fabric to Enable Cloud Data Centres
(30.08.11) - Xsigo Systems announced the "Xsigo Server Fabric", the fully virtualised infrastructure for cloud-optimised data centres. The Xsigo Server Fabric enables one-click network connections from virtual machines to any data centre resource – including servers, networks, storage, and other virtual machines – to accelerate the management of virtualised data centres. Xsigo’s Server Fabric technology eliminates the last remaining hardware constraints on the agility and scalability of the cloud.
"Of the fundamental data centre building blocks – servers, storage, and the network connectivity that ties it all together – only connectivity remains as it was twenty years ago, locked to an inflexible and inefficient switch and port-based management model," said Zeus Kerravala of the Yankee Group. "The cloud computing era places demands on data centre infrastructure that cannot be met through traditional networking technologies. Xsigo’s Server Fabric technology changes all this by addressing the desperate market need to fully integrate resources, while also providing unprecedented levels of simplification through software.”
"Cloud data centres demand a different, far more flexible infrastructure, and everyone knows it," said Lloyd Carney, Xsigo CEO. "But while legacy networking vendors remain mired in the status quo, essentially trying to cross oceans with railroads, Xsigo has invented the equivalent of the airplane. Today, Xsigo is ushering in a new era of data centre connectivity – virtualised infrastructure – that does for the data centre infrastructure what server virtualisation did for the servers themselves."
As technology to virtualise connectivity, the Xsigo Server Fabric allows hardware-independent connections between resources to be dynamically created without having to configure switches, switch ports, or VLANs, thus enabling management tasks to be completed by a single person in minutes, rather than by multiple teams over the course of hours or days.
For cloud service providers, enterprises, and other large organisations, the Xsigo Server Fabric promises a significant business impact. New services can be brought to market much more quickly, using a simple software interface that allows data centre architecture to be reconfigured instantly. Customers can easily meet and manage performance levels across all applications, and provide additional capacity on demand, enabling the creation of highly profitable tiered service offerings.
