NextIO: Leading Provider of Next Generation I/O Solutions

Today's telecommunications organizations face unprecedented network infrastructure challenges including, spiraling costs, ever-increasing power requirements (and the associated infrastructure modifications to accommodate cooling requirements), the need to increase "rack density" and at the same time, the continued pressure to deliver share-holder value. On top of this, telecommunications companies must deal with a growing number of increasingly demanding application environments, including IMS, Security, and Transport Control.

Optimizing the IT Infrastructure

One of the most efficient and effective ways to maneuver through this evolving infrastructure, with little or no impact on your current operations, is through I/O resource pooling and expansion. NextIO's Adaptive Connect™ platform delivers optimized I/O resource pooling for organizations that must employ more open standards in order to:

• Impact spiraling costs
• Unlock I/O that is underutilized by up to 80%
• Simplify (and hence increase) both manageability and flexibility

Increased Scalability and Productivity with Simplified Management

NextIO Adaptive Connect solutions can provide several benefits for telecommunications data centers including a high degree of scalability for I/O, up to 300+ devices, without the need for additional servers. This is best illustrated in the following example of a telecommunications data center deployment. In this case, 800 T1/E1 ports using Ulticom SS7 cards were a platform requirement. Teaming with IBM, NextIO provided a solution with 85% power savings and a 50% increase in density. This savings figure doesn't even include the additional capital and operational savings that were realized by implementing the NextIO Adaptive Connect platform. In addition, I/O devices became resource pools that could easily be migrated across any physical server thereby increasing utilization and decreasing costs. Management of the work load was greatly optimized and simplified.
