Top of Rack I/O Virtualization Solutions

Managed Service Providers and Internet Service Providers are continually seeking ways to improve services, streamline operations and reduce costs. New Top of Rack (TOR) technologies are enabling these companies to accomplish their goals through I/O Virtualization and management of server I/O resources.

MSP's and ISP's can take advantage of new opportunities for reducing costs, adding flexibility and entering new markets. With NextIO as the top of rack solution, MSP and ISP's can install or repurpose servers in just minutes, without touching I/O cables. 10Gb Ethernet can be fully leveraged to support a full rack of servers, and virtual machines can utilize I/O on demand.

One of the key challenges for MSPs revolves around how to not only guarantee QOS levels, but also provide more bandwidth, on demand, as your customers' business grows. Being able to rapidly assign more I/O capacity not only becomes an issue for customer satisfaction and retention, but it is also critical for growing revenue. Being able to easily and quickly provision I/O bandwidth puts your company in the driver's seat in growing business. Often increases in bandwidth indicate great business opportunities, and being able to reprovision or expand bandwidth in seconds can be the difference between increasing a revenue stream or missing a business opportunity. With the flexibility of vNET, MSPs can not only quickly deploy, but also quickly change I/O resources, allowing them to capitalize on the dynamics of the hosted world.
