The Power of Virtualization

Dell’s virtualization-optimized servers and storage maximize performance and reduce wasted energy—and our Virtualization Assessment Services show you the most effective path to a virtualized infrastructure. Real results include consolidation from 80 servers down to five, contributing to a 33 percent infrastructure reduction. Additionally, another Dell customer used virtualization to save as much as $10,000 a month in power and cooling costs – an 80 percent reduction.*

Here’s an example of how one of our customers improved efficiency while reducing costs through server virtualization:

The Mazda North American Operations IT group wanted to reduce data center complexity and simplify operations, and provide more services to the business without adding IT staff.

Dell provided guidance and best practices to consolidate the fast growing IT infrastructure; Dell PowerEdgeTM  servers running VMware®  ESX Server software, Dell OpenManageTM  IT Assistant, and systems management software simplify the server environment and help streamline operations.

Virtualization delivers consolidation from 80 servers down to 5, a 33 percent infrastructure reduction; simplified server environment reduces server administration time by 38 percent, giving IT staff more time to further business objectives; planned use of virtualization tools within the business continuity strategy will reduce disaster recovery time from days to hours.*
