The Realization of Virtualization

Dell and Microsoft Partner to Simplify the Transition to Virtualization

Server virtualization has proven enormously beneficial to IT by speeding up application deployments, decreasing infrastructure costs, optimizing resource utilization and simplifying IT operations. But, for the most part, these gains and a rapid return on investment (ROI) seem to have eluded smaller enterprises due to the cost and complexity of solutions.  

However, a new integrated solution from Dell and Microsoft makes virtualization accessible to enterprises of all sizes. Dell coupled its virtualization solution with Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008, which features the Hyper-V™ hypervisor and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2008. The two industry veterans closely collaborated during development of Windows Server 2008, enabling Dell to gain significant expertise in the functionality and features of the new platform, especially those involving virtualization.

The result: Together, they’ve created a fully engineered virtual infrastructure designed to simplify and accelerate virtualization deployments in an easy-to-manage, cost-effective way while simultaneously helping to ensure high availability, enterprise performance and stability.
