Dell PowerEdge Servers

You can deploy virtualization on any server, but that doesn't mean all servers are equal for virtualization. At Dell, we design our PowerEdge™ servers to provide the best performance for virtualization possible. We optimize for virtualization across the entire portfolio — not just on blades — to meet your density, flexibility and performance needs, without locking you into proprietary infrastructures.

Dell has been deploying virtualization on PowerEdge servers since VMware® released its first server hypervisor in 2001. To provide you options, we've added solutions from partners such as Citrix® and Microsoft®. Our engineering and marketing teams have worked together for years to advance functionality, integration and performance.

This focus has resulted in Dell™ PowerEdge servers that maximize the benefits of virtualization.
