NextIO,
the pioneer in I/O consolidation and virtualization solutions, will
join Rackspace, the service leader in cloud computing, in presenting an
educational session titled “Meet today's challenging Cloud Computing demands with PCI Express I/O Virtualization” at the 9th annual Cloud Expo event on Tuesday, November 8, at 9:55 a.m.
NextIO CTO and Co-Founder Chris Pettey and Rackspace Principle
Engineer, Joel Wineland will underline the necessity of constantly
reshaping the fundamental rack infrastructure of the cloud as cloud
computing evolves to cover a broad range of markets. As more customers
are added to the cloud from increasingly diverse markets, the rack
infrastructure must become more flexible to adapt to the changing needs,
while continuing to reduce costs. Pettey and Wineland will describe how
PCIe I/O Virtualization enables successful cloud computing platforms
and give a vision for the technology going forward.
Pettey will also present “The Virtualized Data Center: Best Practices
that Address High Profile Pain Points” at Cloud Expo on November 8, at
4:25 p.m. In this session, several key challenges for the data center
server administrator will be explored, along with best practices for
implementation.
NextIO recently announced general availability of vNET I/O Maestro,
a rack-level appliance that simplifies the deployment and management of
complex server I/O by consolidating and virtualizing I/O resources.
This new rack level appliance removes layers of data center complexities
often found in traditional server I/O deployments to maximize the
value, productivity and efficiencies of complex server I/O.
“Our virtualization I/O technology gives cloud computing users the
flexibility and agility they need to respond to the changing demands of
business operations,” said Mike Heumann, vice president of worldwide
sales and marketing, NextIO. “vNET I/O Maestro simplifies the data
center and takes the complexity out of managing networking systems, so
data center managers can increase cloud computing performance while
lowering total operational costs.”
