Neterion Launches Third Generation I/O Virtualized X3110 10 GbE Server
Adapter to the World-Wide Channel

Breaking "Virtualization's Glass Ceiling" With Fully Virtualized I/O
Technology

CUPERTINO, CA--(March 30, 2009) - Neterion, Inc., the industry pioneer of
I/O Virtualization (IOV) in 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) adapters for
server and storage environments, today announced the general availability
of its third generation I/O Virtualized X3110 10 GbE server adapter
through its world-wide channel of distributors.

The adoption of server virtualization is the fastest growing trend in
today's datacenters and has been enabled by two major technology
developments:

-- Hypervisor technology (from the likes of VMware, XEN, Citrix and
Microsoft) that logically divides a single CPU complex into dozens (or
even hundreds) of virtual CPUs

-- Impressive gains in CPU horsepower thanks to the advent of multi-core
technology

I/O is rapidly becoming the bottleneck or "glass ceiling" in large-scale
virtualized server environments as technology trends and the economy
demand higher VM density and faster migration of I/O intensive
applications. Until now, I/O has failed to keep pace with advances in CPU
and Hypervisor technology. This threatens to eventually limit the number
of VMs per platform, stunt the adoption of "cloud computing" and also
prevent the migration of I/O intensive applications such as databases and
mail servers.

Neterion's I/O Virtualized X3110 10 GbE server adapter shatters
virtualization's glass ceiling. The industry's first fully virtualized
Ethernet controller brings the following capabilities to virtualized
server environments:

-- Integrated Hypervisor Offload technology dramatically reduces the
Hypervisor's CPU utilization and frees up system resources for
applications, not "plumbing." Included in the X3110's Hypervisor Offload
is support for the newly emerging Virtual Ethernet Bridge (VEB) standard
that migrates Ethernet switching overhead from the Hypervisor to the X3110
adapter hardware. The X3110's Hypervisor Offload facilitates greater VM
density per platform and deployment of I/O intensive applications that
before now required a dedicated, non-virtualized server.

-- Neterion's hardware-based I/O Quality of Service (IOQoS)(TM)
technology allows IT managers to implement true I/O isolation and
bandwidth guarantees for each workload. Each fully virtualized I/O
workload can independently enable prioritization, classification and
queuing of traffic. IOQoS allows virtualized data centers to meet
demanding Service Level Agreements (SLAs) of enterprise applications,
regardless of whether they run in a virtualized environment. Now, nearly
all enterprise applications can be migrated to virtual server
environments, greatly expanding the breadth of server virtualization in
the datacenter.

-- Neterion's unique Virtual Link Technology (VLT)(TM) enables the X3110
10 GbE adapter to appear to the system as up to 17 fully independent
Ethernet adapters that can be managed just like multiple Gigabit
adapters. VLT presents multiple PCI device functions to the host system,
which means that today's servers can take full advantage of the
technology. VLT also provides future proofing by allowing enterprise data
centers to migrate to the industry standard Single Root I/O
Virtualization (SR-IOV) when enabling software becomes available.

"The next level of server virtualization requires I/O Virtualization to
break down the links to physical infrastructure, simplify provisioning and
ensure quality of service to different virtual machines," said Nik
Simpson, Senior Analyst for Burton Group. "While several companies have
developed proprietary systems to virtualize I/O connections, Burton Group
believes that the future of I/O Virtualization lies in support for open
hardware standards such as PCI multi-function mode and embedded PCIe
switching, along with the more advanced features found in fully SR-IOV
complaint adapters."

"As a pioneer in building and delivering reliable high performance
networks, Force10 is a partner with Neterion in the rapidly expanding
virtual server marketplace," said Steve Garrison, Vice President of
Marketing at Force10. "The combination of Force10's products, including
our new Virtualization Framework(TM), along with innovative adapter
solutions like Neterion's X3110 10 GbE adapter, allows the full power of
server virtualization to be released and managed."

Neterion's X3110 fully independent virtual adapter architecture is unique
in the industry, allowing each virtualized adapter instance to run native,
full featured device drivers in a guest operating system, rather than a
custom "data-path only" driver. This architecture enables each adapter
instance to be independently reset and includes isolated hardware queues
that mitigate head-of-line blocking issues found in other adapter
architectures. Additionally, the X3110 10 GbE adapter allows end-users to
preserve their existing investments in driver qualifications, operating
systems, network administration tools and personnel training.

"In today's challenging economic environment, datacenter managers are
adopting server virtualization architectures to reduce costs and increase
productivity," said Greg Scherer, CTO of Neterion. "Our next generation
I/O Virtualized X3110 10 GbE adapter allows virtual servers to keep pace
with the staggering demand for efficient high-speed I/O. Simply put, the
X3110 does for 10 GbE I/O what Hypervisors do for CPUs: enable highly
efficient sharing of a common resource across a virtualized domain."

The X3110 I/O Virtualized 10 GbE server adapter is being initially
released in two flavors: single port 850nm SR Optical and single port
Direct Attach (DA) twinax copper (sometimes referred to as 10GBase-CR).
Both adapters employ the new SFP+ module standard and are available today
through world-wide channel distributors with a starting MSRP of $899.
Dual port 10 GbE adapter versions (the X3120) will be available in the
second half of 2009. For a complete list of features offered in the X3110
10 GbE adapter, visit www.neterion.com.
