PCI-SIG* SR-IOV Capable
Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) involves natively sharing a single I/O resource between multiple virtual machines. SR-IOV provides a mechanism by which a single root function (for example, a single Ethernet port) can appear to be multiple separate physical devices.
Flexible Port Partitioning
Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) technology utilizes industry standard PCI SIG SR-IOV to efficiently divide your physical Ethernet device into multiple virtual devices, providing quality of service by ensuring each process is assigned to a virtual function and is provided a fair share of the bandwidth.
Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq)
Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) is a technology designed to offload some of the switching done in the virtual machine monitor (VMM) to networking hardware specifically designed for this function. VMDq drastically reduces overhead associated with I/O switching in the VMM, which greatly improves throughput and overall system performance.
