- A Smart Path to Virtualization
As server virtualization continues to transform the data center, enterprises have some critical decisions to make. How will they migrate to a fully virtualized environment? How should the IT infrastructure be configured for maximum business benefit? Dell is partnering with other industry leaders to build a flexible, industry-standard approach that helps simplify the transition. - Getting Started with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V on Dell Servers
Microsoft® Hyper-V™ technology provides a simplified virtualization platform integrated directly into the Microsoft Windows Server® 2008 OS. This article provides an introduction to Hyper-V virtualization, discusses the overall architecture and underlying technologies, and offers guidance on best practices for deployment on Dell™ PowerEdge™ servers. - Highly Available Virtualization with Microsoft Hyper-V and SCVMM 2008
In virtualized environments, high availability can be critical to avoiding lost revenue, maintaining productivity, and protecting data from system failure. Combining Microsoft® Hyper-V™ technology with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2008 on Dell™ platforms can help organizations create highly available virtualized systems while offering simplified management, dynamic performance, workload optimization, and reduced costs. - Flexible Computing: Advancing End-User Productivity with Centralized Control
Supporting an increasingly distributed workforce can be a huge drain on IT resources. By enabling a customized end-user experience with server-based control of data, settings, and applications, the Dell™ Flexible Computing Solutions suite of products and services is designed to simplify management, enhance security, and lower total cost of ownership. - Powering Business Productivity with Dell OptiPlex Desktops
The new Dell™ OptiPlex™ family of desktop computers is designed to deliver high performance, flexibility, and reliability together with enterprise-class security and enhanced manageability in an environmentally conscious way—helping organizations to maximize employee productivity, simplify management, and lower total cost of ownership. - Dell Precision R5400 Rack Workstations Offer Powerful Performance and Secure Remote Access
Organizations in manufacturing, energy, digital content creation, and other industries require workstation-class performance for compute- and graphics-intensive applications. The Dell Precision™ R5400 rack workstation and optional Dell™ FX100 remote access device enable secure access to applications and data with outstanding performance for an increasingly mobile workforce. - Extending Benefits of Virtual Remote Desktops Using VMware and Dell EqualLogic SANs
Virtualization can offer increased scalability, reliability, and availability while helping simplify management and reduce operating costs. Now, Virtual Remote Desktop solutions based on VMware® Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and virtualized Dell™ EqualLogic™ Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area networks (SANs) can offer similar benefits for the desktop environment—helping reduce the traditional cost and complexity of managing physical laptops, desktops, and workstations. - How Dell EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager/VMware Edition Helps Protect Virtual Environments
Protecting and restoring virtual machines (VMs) can be slow and inefficient, and can take precious server resources away from critical applications. Dell™ EqualLogic™ Auto-Snapshot Manager/VMware Edition enables administrators to quickly and easily create hypervisor-aware snapshots of VMs—helping simplify data management, enhance scalability of data protection and recovery, and increase application performance. - Dell and Egenera Drive a New Path to Virtual Data Center Automation
The new Dell / PAN System combines Dell™ PowerEdge™ server technology with advanced Egenera® management software in a simplified system—providing a highly available, dynamic, flexible platform for next-generation data center virtualization. - Best Practices for Protecting VMware Infrastructure 3 with Symantec Backup Exec
Effectively protecting virtualized environments using traditional backup tools can be both difficult and time-consuming. Symantec® Backup Exec™ 12.5 software, part of the new Dell™ PowerVault™ DL2000 – Powered by Symantec Backup Exec, is designed to provide powerful, simplified backup and recovery for VMware® virtualized environments. - Boosting Data Center Throughput with Virtualization-Ready 10 Gigabit Ethernet
As virtualization becomes pervasive, increasing the number of high-bandwidth network ports is not always enough to meet the bandwidth needs of enterprise data centers. To help support the I/O requirements of multiple virtual machines in server consolidation and virtualization scenarios, Dell, Intel, and Cisco have teamed up to offer organizations a virtualization-tuned 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ direct attach solution. - Running Microsoft Windows HPC Server 2008 on Dell PowerEdge Clusters
