Data Center technology is evolving from the power-hungry, cable-flooded, bulky and unorganized rack-mount equipment to unified enclosures. Both new and existing players are redifining the landscape for data center for delivering more with less and Virtualization at various layers plays a crucial part to achieve it. The IEEE CTS ComSoc-SP Chapter invites you to a talk on "Data Center Trends in I/O Virutalization".

Abstract

I/O virtualization is the next step in the evolutionary process of a virtual datacenter. This talk will discuss the datacenter trends for I/O consolidation and virtualization, the industry’s different approaches from network to access layer consolidation.  We will discuss some of the underlying technologies in a building a virtual datacenter including FCoE, Single root and multi-root I/O virtualization.
