Simplifying the Transition From 32-Bit to 64-Bit Servers
See how easy Dell and Microsoft make the move to 64-bit computing with this hands-on migration of three 32-bit application servers (an Active Directory domain controller, a server running Microsoft® SQL Server® 2005 and a server running Microsoft Exchange Server 2003) to a single virtualized 64-bit Dell™ server running Microsoft Windows® Server® 2008 R2.
This Principled Technologies study shows how you can move to 64-bit computing while keeping your existing 32-bit applications and gain performance headroom and energy savings in the process. Multiple 32-bit servers can become individual virtual machines running under Microsoft virtualization technologies on a single Dell server. You gain immediate headroom, power and space advantages, while positioning yourself to move to 64-bit applications when the time is right.
