Dell Server and Storage Configurations with VMware Virtualization Software Maximize Computing Resources.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2004 Dell Inc. (Nasdaq:DELL) Dell, VMware Align to Help Customers Better Utilize Systems in the Scalable Enterprise New configurations of Dell(tm) PowerEdge(tm) servers, Dell/EMC storage and VMware software The following is a list of software products developed by VMware, Inc., a division of EMC Corporation.

These solutions help increase utilization levels on 2- and 4-processor servers by enabling more applications to run on a single server. VMware's VMotion technology provides the ability to dynamically move applications to different physical servers based on business needs, such as peaks from end-of-the-month reporting or holiday Web traffic. Dell has forged an alliance with VMware to help deliver these resource-optimizing capabilities to customers deploying servers linked together in "scale-out" or scalable enterprise architectures. "Dell is delivering more flexible standards-based solutions to help customers better utilize computing resources and keep costs low," said Jeff Clarke Jeff Clarke may refer to:
"Our alliance with Dell capitalizes on the strengths of Dell's scalable enterprise strategy and VMware's new VirtualCenter and VMotion technologies to deliver a virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used.

In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. and applications on the same physical server. If one virtual machine fails or is being upgraded, the other programs and operating systems running on that physical server are not disrupted. Such capabilities help customers increase capacity and reduce server sprawl by consolidating workloads that typically run on underutilized servers onto fewer physical servers. The Dell-VMware solutions also provide important capabilities towards building computing grids such as central management of virtual machines and more dynamic resource allocation resource allocation Managed care The constellation of activities and decisions which form the basis for prioritizing health care needs over distributed servers. "Dell's configurations with VMware will benefit enterprise customers that want to use virtualization technologies See VT.
