Application Virtualization

Faster Deployment and Improved Application Availability Mean Enhanced IT Service Delivery.

Compared with deploying physical servers, virtualization enables you to get new applications more quickly and efficiently. The patent-pending FlexMem Bridge technology from Dell delivers a practical solution to the demands of today's applications for more memory per processor core, lowering the performance barriers of running multiple I/O (input/output) intensive applications in a virtualized environment. For outstanding memory scalability, two-socket Dell PowerEdge™ blade and rack servers provide up to 32 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots, twice the number of slots typically available per processor. The result is double the memory capacity, with the same software licensing cost and no additional processor costs.

Dell™ application virtualization solutions provide tools and technology to help load balance business application resource demands:

Simple point-and-click configuration helps administrators set up new virtual servers in minutes.
Dual embedded hypervisors in Dell PowerEdge™ servers help ensure application accessibility by removing a single point of failure.
Single console management enables administrators to manage and monitor the entire IT infrastructure to help maximize resources as required.
