High-Speed Fabric: Non-blocking fabric incorporates 24 ports for direct connection to servers. Scale to hundreds of servers by integrating the Xsigo IS24 Expansion Switch.

System Controller: The Xsigo system controller and Xsigo operating system control virtual resources across all attached servers. To ensure performance and reliability, the system controller lies outside the data path.

I/O Modules: For connection to storage and networks, add up to 15 hot-swappable modules. Choose from Ethernet (1G or 10G), or Fibre Channel. Each module incorporates custom Xsigo silicon designed specifically to optimize server I/O.

Management Software: The Xsigo I/O Director is easily managed through a CLI or its intuitive GUI. Connectivity can be deployed through a quick drag-and-drop operation. The I/O Director also integrates with existing management frameworks through an open API.

Host Channel Adapter: A single host channel adapter in each server consolidates storage and network connectivity. Each HCA can deploy up to 32 virtual HBAs and 32 virtual NICs within the server. Other than a standard driver, no agents or management software are installed on the server.

Expansion Switch: The Xsigo IS24 Expansion Switch provides 24 ports for additional server connectivity fan out. Multiple Expansion Switches may be employed to provide consolidated I/O for hundreds of servers.
