Features:

• Adapter FEX split a physical NIC intomultiple logical NICs

• VM-FEX extends Adapter FEXtechnology to virtual machine

• Based on open Standards

Benefits:

• Same functionality in Physical and Virtualenvironments

• Increased bandwidth utilization by sharing physicalinterface to multiple Applications and/or VMs

• Improved Performance and dynamic network &security policy mobility during VM migration withVM-FEX
