Intelligent Queueing Technologies for Virtualization - An Intel-VMware Perspective: Enhanced Network Performance in Virtualized Servers

As server virtualization continues to grow in IT departments - from small businesses to enterprises - virtualization technologies continue to evolve, improving system throughput for virtual machines and enhancing performance in virtual environments. Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) is another breakthrough technology from Intel that helps offload network I/O data processing from the hypervisor software to the network silicon. When combined with VMware's Network multi-Queue technology (NetQueue), VMDq improves I/O throughput for faster, more efficient networking.
