Neterion announced its third generation X3100 Series adapters. Neterion's X3100 Series eliminates the I/O bottleneck by enabling multiple guest OS's of a virtual environment to share one physical adapter through the use of physically separate I/O channels -- while preserving all the advantages of virtualization, including mobility and manageability. The X3100 Series supports the new industry-standard, SR-IOV 1.0 (Single-Root I/O Virtualization). SR-IOV is a PCI-SIG workgroup extension to PCIe that allows a single adapter to truly behave like multiple physical adapters in a virtualized server. Neterion was a major contributor to this specification standard.
