Server design trends
Scale out architectures are driving efficiency, density, and novel form factors
Physical networks converging on Ethernet, with diverse protocols for applications
Fabric computing model, where servers can access resources via the fabric

What we have heard from Customers
IOV is a great server capability Customers value relationships with existing vendors IOV should be sold and supported by server vendors IOV should complement the existing ecosystem of I/O
cards and native drivers
