AIM Removes or Shortens Time for Consolidation, Migration and Refresh

Transform your existing IT assets into a dynamic, scalable and efficient data center with the help of Dell™ Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM). A workload mobility and recovery management solution, AIM enables IT departments to react in real time to changing business needs, while simultaneously lowering data center costs, by:

• Provisioning or reconfiguring IT services dynamically in minutes, helping organizations to increase the utilization of existing assets, recover quickly if problems occur and rapidly scale services to support their business
• Managing both physical and virtual resources centrally
• Provisioning what servers are running and how they are connected to networks and storage rapidly, without needing to make physical server, cable or storage area network (SAN) changes
• Reducing server redundancy and costly clustering solutions
• Redeploying workloads in case of hardware failure automatically and intelligently across the infrastructure, restoring their server, network and storage connectivity

AIM also enables organizations to:

• Achieve greater operational efficiencies through automated dynamic infrastructure management
• Add flexibility and agility to their data center through rapid provisioning of workloads, either on-demand or automatically
• Simplify network configuration by dynamically creating and configuring vSwitches, port groups and virtual machine network interfaces
• Extend virtualization using an array of tools such as VMware® and Microsoft® Hyper-V™
