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.
The Dell PowerEdge™ R710 server and Dell EqualLogic™ storage outperformed a similar HP server/storage pair by over 20 percent in the number of virtual machines supported and in performance per watt.
In TCO comparisons by rack and by server, the Dell PowerEdge™ R710 solution had a lower TCO and yielded significant savings over the HP ProLiant DL385 G5 server solution.
The Dell PowerEdge™ R710 server and Dell EqualLogic™ storage supported 25 percent more Microsoft Exchange 2007 virtual machines than did a similar HP server/storage pair.
This white paper presents a sample Dell virtualization solution with VMware vSphere 4 that is designed to tolerate faults at multiple infrastructure layers and to provide maximum levels of availability.
This solution guide provides a detailed reference architecture for deploying Dell PowerEdge R710 servers, Dell PowerVault MD3000i SAN, and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V.
This paper provides an overview of deploying Exchange 2007 Server in a virtualized environment using VMware 3.5 Update 3 on Dell PowerEdge Servers and EqualLogic iSCSI storage array.
