"The government market is an equally important sector for us and complements our tremendous successes with OEMs and customers across a variety of market segments," said Bob Napaa, VP of marketing and business development at Virtensys. "Our I/O virtualization solutions remove the rigid constraints of traditional I/O deployments from servers and substantially reduce I/O power consumption, capital equipment costs, server management complexity, and operational expenses, making them a very good fit for a broad range of government IT environments. All of our solution's benefits are in line with the guidelines in Federal Chief Information Officer, Vivek Kundra's February 26, 2010 memorandum for government CTO's which outlines his Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative."
"The Virtensys' products are well positioned to help the government address its initiatives for IT consolidation and energy reduction," said Todd Hartung, Vice President of Promark. "The addition of the Virtensys' products to our GSA Schedule gives our channel partners a contract vehicle to help their government customers meet these initiatives."
About Virtensys I/O Virtualization Solutions
The award-winning VIO-4000 series consolidate and share server I/O resources. The I/O virtualization appliances connect to servers via the native PCI Express® interconnect and eliminate network and storage cables, as well as access layer switches from the racks. This reduces I/O power consumption, capital equipment costs, number of cables, server management complexity, and operational expenses by more than 60 percent. The VIO-4000 series are the industry's only I/O virtualization solutions that are deployed without any modification to the existing servers or networks in the data center, and support all the major networking and storage connectivity, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI and SAS/SATA. The VIO-4000 series deliver the industry's best server I/O price/performance and lowest energy consumption for accessing network and storage infrastructures through traditional or converged networks.
