Delivering Power, Memory and Affordable Scalability

The exclusive FlexMem Bridge technology from Dell enables access of up to 32 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots, which doubles the memory capacity with no additional processor cost.

Dell fail-safe virtualization technology eliminates single point of failure by implementing dual internal Secure Digital (SD) modules to provide higher levels of availability in virtualized environments. Dell PowerEdge™ servers offer big improvements over the previous generation on industry-standard performance-per-watt benchmarks, as much as 200 percent better in some cases.

Virtualization is an essential strategy for increasing IT efficiency. One way Dell can simplify your transition to virtualization is by engineering architected, prebuilt configurations designed to help build a dynamic and efficient virtualized environment — from the server and hypervisor to the network, storage systems and management toolsets.

Based on the extensive engineering work in end-to-end solution design and certification, these architectures can be quickly and confidently deployed into production environments to help eliminate many of the time-consuming steps common in complex infrastructure implementations.

Dell™ Business-Ready Configurations:

  • Simplify the designing, ordering and deployment of your virtual infrastructure
  • Help ensure integration completeness and production readiness
  • Include best practice recommendations, guidelines and consideration for server workloads, networks and storage systems
