NextIO, Inc. provides next-generation I/O virtualization solutions for enterprise class servers. Leveraging PCI Express, NextIO offers true virtualization for ANY end-point technology

Today’s data center managers are faced with increasing challenges in managing cost and complexity. While hardware costs for servers have remained flat, interconnect and management costs have skyrocketed. This is largely due to the increase in the requisite number of servers, resulting in both physical and virtual sever sprawl. The growing infrastructure further impacts the complexity of the data center, as well as, the costs of management, administration, and I/O connectivity. These costs outpace the cost of adding new server hardware by as much as five to one. An emerging paradigm addresses this issue. That paradigm is Virtualization.
