MANCHESTER, England, and BEAVERTON, Ore. April 16, 2010 — Virtensys™, Ltd, a leader in next-generation I/O solutions for data centers, today announced that NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) and Virtensys have formed a partnership to develop an I/O Virtualization (IOV) blade switch module for the NEC blade systems.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Virtensys to develop unique I/O Virtualization technology solutions for our customers,” said Tomoyasu Nishimura, assistant general manager, NEC Server Division. “The Virtensys solution will give our customers the flexibility to dynamically manage and allocate the I/O resources to optimize their infrastructures while reducing their costs, energy requirements and management expenses.”

“We are delighted to be working with NEC to allow their customers to take full advantage of our I/O virtualization solutions,” said Ahmet Houssein, president and CEO of VirtenSys. “We look forward to delivering these solutions to the market in collaboration with NEC.”

I remain a fan of VirtenSys and their I/O virtualization solution, it’s great to see them extending their support for NEC based blade systems. Anything we can do to continue I/O virtualization innovation and consumer choice has to be a good thing, promoting the benefits of storage and networking convergence, of being able to wire once, have the storage and network capacity requirements change in line with the business need has to be a good thing. To be able to move to a next generation way of doing a business where, making slight changes to the infrastructure configuration might not mean a re-patch, a reconfiguration and three teams all of which can so easily result in delays to excellence or delivery.
