The latest update of Prisma SD-WAN brings an exciting new feature: SR-IOV support for the Intel XL710 Ethernet Network Adapter.

This support is available for all hypervisors on vION (Virtual ION) and offers users a range of benefits. Simply put, SR-IOV is a hardware specification and technology that enables a single device, such as a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) NIC, to be shared among multiple virtual machines (VMs).

This significantly reduces the overhead associated with I/O virtualization, leading to improved performance, reduced CPU utilization, enhanced security, and efficient resource utilization. Prisma SD-WAN's SR-IOV support allows users to enjoy faster and more efficient data processing, leading to better overall performance.

Additionally, users can benefit from enhanced security, as multiple VMs can share a single device without compromising the integrity of the data. Moreover, reducing CPU utilization leads to more efficient resource utilization and significant business cost savings.
