And, if you can now logically re-define server and infrastructure profiles, you can also create simplified Disaster recovery tools too. Consolidating I/O also implies converged transport, meaning fewer cables (typically only 1 per server, 2 if teamed/redundant). Big Data. (6). Data Center efficiency. (1).

Virtualizing I/O and converging the transport. Virtualizing I/O means no more stateful NICs and HBAs on the server; rather, the I/O presents itself to the OS as any number of configurable devices/ports, and I/O + data flow over a single physical wire. Transport can be Ethernet, FCoE, Infiniband, or others. Big Data. (6).

And, through I/O virtualization , both data and storage transports can also be converged, further simplifying the physical network infrastructure down to a single wire. Big Data. (6). Data Center efficiency. (1). Mobile Work. (4). Mobility. (2). Because the physical CPU state (i.e. Syndications.
