SAN JOSE, CA – Xsigo Systems, Inc., a technology leader in data center I/O virtualization, today announced that Baker Business Systems has deployed Xsigo’s I/O virtualization technology to support its software-as-a-service (SaaS) offerings for automotive repair shops throughout the midwestern United States. Headquartered in Medina, Ohio, Baker Business Systems is a leading hosting provider of outsourced IT solutions for the automotive repair industry. Xsigo was selected to provide a scalable, cost-effective infrastructure for the company’s SaaS offering that allows automotive repair businesses to access up-to-the-minute repair cost estimate information without the burden of continuous software updates.
An interesting article talking about how this company has used I/O virtualization to enable its business and in doing so realized performance gains and reduced operating costs. I wonder if this kind of thing is going to be deployed in the enterprise in partnership or after a major drive to virtualization? That now I have the server virtualized, I need to be able to move it around my infrastructure, for that I need to eliminate the constraints relating to network and san patching – avoid the sorry you can’t have that network on that ESX server.

This product from Xsigo is very neat. We get real operational and capital cost benefits. Most importantly instantaneous application deployment, server re-purposing and pushing up server utilization becomes truly viable and measurable.
Not going into the server room and re-cabling time and again, binding servers to LANs/SANs with ultimate flexibility from a user console with a few clicks of the mouse is a cinch. All the hype and promise of FCoE is undermined with this elegant solution.
