Abstract

System IO Architectures are changing to PCI Express, 10 GbE and Infiniband. As multi-root IO Virtualization is being defined, shared IO infrastructures are on the horizon. This session discusses the impacts of all these changes on storage connectivity, storage transfer rates, as well as the implications to Storage Industry and Data Center Infrastructures.

This tutorial will provide the attendee with:

Basic knowledge of PCI Express and Infiniband Technologies, System Root Complexes and IO Virtualization.
Anticipated Impacts (benefits and exposures) of these Technologies on Storage Environments.
IO Virtualization connectivity possibilities provided by PCI Express. Expected Industry Roll Out of these IO Technologies.
