Xsigo Systems, a data center I/O virtualization company, today announced the technology integration of the Xsigo VP780 I/O Director with the Microsoft System Center suite of IT management solutions.
The integrated solution works with System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to help IT managers better monitor and control their server connectivity and resolve issues quickly without the need to physically enter a data center. With these tools, IT managers can monitor I/O resources and receive automated alerts in the event of an anomaly. Alerts may include PROtips that recommend corrective actions, which the IT manager can choose to automatically implement via the Microsoft SCVMM, thus minimizing exposure to downtime and maximizing management productivity.
The Xsigo I/O Director is purpose built to deliver dynamic server connectivity, allowing data center users to connect any server to any network or storage device in seconds, without the restrictions of I/O cards, cables and switch ports. Benefits of the solution include:
- Dynamic I/O management: Deploy virtual Ethernet and Fibre channel connections to live servers
- Scalable I/O: Up to 64 virtual NICs and HBAs per server with just one cable
- Broadly interoperable: Proven with all leading X86 servers and FC, iSCSI, and NAS storage
- Future-proof: Add new I/O capabilities without modifying server cards or cables
