Virtualization

Introduction

Dell offers hypervisor options from the market leaders as well as specialized software options to extend your solution's capabilities.

VMware® Infrastructure 3 is an industry leader for virtualization functionality, from basic partitioning to advanced capabilities like high availability, workload management and disaster recovery. These features are managed by a separate server running VMware VirtualCenter.

Citrix® XenServer™ offers basic partitioning and live migration capabilities, and integrates its XenCenter multiserver management console into every virtualized server. You can add third-party offerings to augment functionality.

Microsoft® Hyper-V™ offers quick migration, high availability with Microsoft cluster services, easy integration into Microsoft management tools and compatibility with Xen-based virtual machines.

Extend the capabilities of your virtual environment beyond hypervisors with specialized software from Dell’s virtualization management partners.  Symantec/Altiris, Vizioncore, Platform Computing, PlateSpin, and Double-Take offer focused tools that you can use to simplify setup and migration, automate workload management, implement alternative disaster recovery strategies, and more.
