SUSE YES Certified for the following products:
Operating Systems:

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 12 for AMD64 & Intel64 with KVM Service Pack 1 for SUSE® SLES 12

Product Description
The VirtenSys Virtual I/O switch is a cost-effective and flexible way to provide converged LAN/SAN/DAS connectivity to servers. The VIO Virtual I/O products are designed as 2U top-of-rack switches that consolidate commercial off-the-shelf adapters (10GbE NIC, FC HBA, RAID), virtualizes them as virtual I/O adapters, for sharing with up to 16 servers simultaneously. The VIO Virtual I/O switch replaces a layer of access switches, physical I/O adapters, and cables from the data center making deployment faster, flexible and more energy efficient.
