The Case for Virtual I/O Devices
Brought to you by DSD Business Systems and the Aberdeen Group
Best-in-Class organizations are utilizing virtual I/O devices to ensure they get the benefits from their virtualization deployments. Virtualization increases the reliability, speed and manageability of computing devices. Through virtualization, multiple applications can be supported on a single server, optimizing the efficiency of existing assets and improving computer utilization rates. Multiple networking protocols can be converged into a single wiring infrastructure and layers of storage virtualization software can improve the speed and ease of data management. However, as the virtualized computing infrastructure becomes faster and more consolidated, the wiring that connects it all together may well become a bottleneck that limits performance, hence the need for a virtual I/O device.
