Aprius is a venture-backed company developing technology to bring the performance advantage of PCIe Express to the Ethernet network. Aprius technology extends a server's internal PCIe bus out over the Ethernet network, enabling groups of servers to access and share network-attached pools of PCIe Express devices at near-native PCIe performance levels. Aprius technology enables server vendors to build dense slot-less servers with virtual I/O by connecting the servers to needed PCIe devices such as SAN HBAs, Disk Controllers, and PCIe SSDs over the Ethernet fabric. Aprius gives data center managers dedicated PCIe performance but with the economics of sharing, and allows a broad range of applications with varying I/O needs to be virtualized on cost-effective and homogeneous server infrastructure, reducing costs by nearly 50%.
