Dell | Microsoft Management and Virtualization Solutions

Simplify virtualization management. Reduce costs. Remove barriers.

As businesses work to virtualize a greater portion of their data centers and hold costs down, integrated management solutions are essential. With Dell | Microsoft Management and Virtualization Solutions, you can take an approach that simplifies virtualization management, reduces costs and removes barriers to cloud adoption.

Integrated management solutions
Announced in April 2011, Dell | Microsoft Management and Virtualization Solutions is a new, 3-year strategic initiative. The goal is to help customers quickly deploy and manage virtualization and private cloud technologies. This partnership can help you simplify management and improve efficiency with integrated management solutions comprised of the Dell? Virtual Integrated System, Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) and Microsoft? System Center. These virtualization solutions?are based on Microsoft Windows Server? 2008 Hyper-V?, which delivers strong workload performance and low total cost of ownership.

A single point of contact
Of course, with Dell you get a single source for hardware, software, services and support. We can help guide you through a successful implementation of virtualization technology by offering jointly engineered solutions based on Dell's hardware and virtualization management technologies, and Microsoft's hypervisor and systems management technologies.

We've been engaged with Microsoft throughout the design and testing of the next-generation Microsoft Windows Server? OS, providing input on Hyper-V, Microsoft's hypervisor-based server virtualization technology. Additionally, the Dell Global Infrastructure Consulting team has a pool of expertise and best practices related to Microsoft's virtualization technology.

Dell | Microsoft Management and Virtualization Solutions?will help you:

• Remove management barriers
  Dell and Microsoft?will help you accelerate virtualization by providing unified and consolidated management with Dell AIM and Microsoft System Center. This approach allows for more automation and provisioning management across physical and multi-hypervisor virtual environments. By implementing unified tools to manage across server, storage, network, apps?and services, you can reduce complexity between multiple hypervisors.
  ?
• Alleviate cost barriers
  With Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, you can hold licensing costs down and retain your investments in training, hardware and software. By using the right hypervisor for the right workload, you can achieve better application performance and lower total cost of ownership.
  ?
• Deliver cloud and IT as a?Service (ITaaS) faster
  Most of the integration work has already been done by Dell and Microsoft with our Business-Ready Configurations and Microsoft Hyper-V Cloud Fast Track solutions. So you can minimize risks and deploy private clouds faster and easier by using solutions that are proven, jointly engineered, optimized and tested. With self-service options, you can scale up or down on demand.

While new management and virtualization solutions will be developed by Dell?and Microsoft under this partnership, you can begin your journey to large-scale virtualization today by leveraging the solutions already available.
