So, how far do we want to go with this virtualisation business? We have server, storage and now I/O virtualistion!

While virtualised I/O is not new (The hypervisors in VMware, XenServer and  IBMPowerVM all present virtual path mappings to physical resources), an appliance virtualising both network and storage I/O is.

Xsigo is not a well-known name in the virtualisation world, especially on this side of the Atlantic, but for a relative newcomer to the market they are turning quite a few heads with their I/O virtualisation technology.
