Dell and VMware deliver efficient data centers that are fast to deploy and easy to manage and that can evolve into more cloud-like virtual infrastructures.
The Dell Energy Smart architecture in 11th-generation Dell PowerEdge servers can provide significant improvements in performance per watt and total cost of ownership compared with previous-generation PowerEdge servers.
Dell offers a comprehensive strategy that includes virtualization and consolidation onto energy-efficient systems, best practices for power and cooling optimization, and expert services that can help businesses achieve immediate benefits.
Dell engineers tested two Dell™ PowerEdge™ 2950 servers with dual-core Intel® Xeon® 5160 and quad-core Intel Xeon X5355 processors alongside a previous-generation PowerEdge 2850 server with dualcore Intel Xeon processors in a virtualized environment based on VMware® Virtual Infrastructure 3.
Server virtualization—a core enabling technology for computing infrastructure now and into the future—can bring measurable benefits to corporations today, including simplified operations, better resource utilization and cost-effective scalability to meet business demands.
