Accelerate Live Migration with iWARP using Marvell FastLinQ 25GbE
●In recent years, as virtualization in enterprise businesses has matured, the addition of new features has increased its scope. One of the most important and useful features of virtualization now is virtual machine portability, also known as live migration. Live migration is a down time free technique for moving a virtual machine (VM) from one host to another within a network.
●The continued improvements in server architecture and processing coupled with continued application development geared toward virtualization is making it easy for more enterprise business to transition to virtual environments. This heavy reliance on virtual systems has created the need to effectively move VM’s from one physical node to another in a non-disruptive, but rapid method critical to maintain business continuity.
●The good news with live migration is that virtual machines can be easily moved with no application downtime, while providing a method for simple server maintenance and load balancing of workloads across an IT environment. However, live migration can also come with a heavy tax on server CPUs and network infrastructures, which ultimately equates to an extraordinary load on what is already an overworked server environment.
●These challenges highlight the need for high performance live migration using RDMA capable network adapters to offload the heavy work from the CPU and improve the efficiency when migrating workloads.
●Marvell FastLinQ 41000 Series 10GbE/25GbE adapters with universal RDMA are the ideal solution to improve the speed of migrating workloads within an environment while offloading the workload from already overtaxed CPUs.
■Key Benfits:
●Accelerate live migration performance with RDMA-capable
◆RDMA offload delivers the highest performance with low CPU utilization and transfer speeds
◆Marvell FastLinQ 41000 Series adapters provide up to 58% increase in Live Migration speeds while reducing CPU utilization by up to 75%.
●Take advantage of in box OS features
◆Windows Server support RDMA (RoCE, RoCEv2, or iWARP) enabled Live Migration out of the box
●FastLinQ 25GbE NICs – support Universal RDMA (Concurrent RoCE and iWARP)
◆The only solution in the market providing 25GbE and this unique flexibility
