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.
