Exar Virtualization Authority to Present at Storage Developer Conference
FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Exar Corporation's (Nasdaq: EXAR) leading authority on Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), and Vice President of Software Engineering and System Architecture Leonid Grossman, will present at the Storage Developer Conference in Santa Clara, California at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Mr. Grossman will present "Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and iSCSI – Uncompromised Performance for Virtual Server Environments" on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 10:30 a.m.
The presentation will cover how achieving high throughput with iSCSI on Virtual Machines (VMs) has proven to be difficult, as iSCSI protocol overhead is compounded by the cost of software IOV. Newer 10GbE NICs with hardware IOV support eliminate most of the software I/O virtualization overhead cost, allowing iSCSI software to run on VMs with better performance. Mr. Grossman will also discuss - best practices for implementing virtualization in an iSCSI environment; new advanced I/O virtualization technologies, such as SR-IOV; and trends in server and storage virtualization.
Leonid Grossman has over 20 years of experience in networking and system software development. He joined Exar through the acquisition of Neterion in March 2010. Mr. Grossman holds seven US patents and has an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Moscow Petroleum University, an M.Sc in Computer Science from Moscow University of Physics, and an MBA from San Jose State.
