Application Virtualization

Software
Microsoft's virtualization solution with Windows Server® 2008 R2 with Hyper-V™ provides deployment flexibility and high availability for business-critical applications, as well as reduced hardware and energy costs. Failover clustering with live migration increases uptime and simplifies the management of clustered virtual machines. In addition, with Microsoft® System Center you can get an end-to-end server management solution that makes it easy for administrators to manage multiple virtual hosts, quickly provision servers, migrate physical servers to virtual ones and perform other key management processes.

Run your business-critical applications, including Exchange, SQL, SAP® and Oracle®, on VMware® vSphere™ and Dell server and storage devices with breakthrough performance and outstanding reliability.  Accelerate your application life cycle with fast, self-service provisioning from the labs to production. Protect all your applications from downtime with built-in business continuity solutions and scale dynamically to ensure service levels under unpredictable load.

Servers
Dell designs PowerEdge™ servers to provide the best performance for virtualization possible. Our 11th Generation PowerEdge servers are available with more memory capacity and integrated input/output (I/O) than the previous generation. This increased capacity is crucial for virtualization performance and scalability. Additionally, PowerEdge servers are available with Intel® Xeon® processors with VT FlexMigration, which integrates multiple generations of Xeon processor-based servers helping to improve flexibility and investment protection.

Storage
Dell storage products include a variety of storage arrays, scalable backup devices, software, and remote copy and mirroring configurations. Needed support for business-critical applications such as workload management and disaster recovery functions are best matched with arrays that support remote mirroring, such as Dell™­ EqualLogic™ PS series, PowerVault™ MD series and Compellent Storage Center arrays featuring Fluid Data technology. Dell storage area network (SAN) arrays are designed to deliver the scalability and high availability that are essential for business-critical environments.

	EqualLogic PS4000 Series iSCSI SAN EqualLogic internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage with performance and capacity that is ideal for remote office and small business, and  for virtualized environments.		PowerVault MD3200 A dedicated, high-availability, next-generation shared-storage array designed to offer superior performance and capacity for storage consolidation and server virtualization, deployment flexibility and scalability.
	PowerEdge R510 rack server An Intel processor-based 2-socket, 2U   rack server ideal for department, branch or small business database tasks, email, virtualization, workload consolidation and core business applications with large, local storage needs.		PowerEdge R610 rack server A rack server that features Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 or 5600 series, embedded hypervisors plus expanded memory and I/O  for better performance and more VMs per server than before.
