Reducing Hardware Footprint and Improving Server Virtualization Experience with the New DELL Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM)

Download this white paper to know how the Dell AIM lets you virtualize applications that couldn’t otherwise be virtualized while retaining software vendor support. It also promises a projected 80% reduction in rack footprint required to run middleware stack, the ability to provision new cloud services in minutes vs. weeks or months, and improved hardware lifecycle management, since new server models can be quickly integrated into the cloud.

Simplifying Development And Test Operations

Testing is critical, but hard — and getting harder. Teams face even more complex infrastructure challenges to support production roll-out. This whitepaper discusses ways to overcome these challenges. Test and development operations become simpler and smarter, with the ability to rebalance for improved efficiency and to rapidly shift testing one service to another (and then back again) without ever physically touching a machine.

Enabling Faster Virtualization Rollout Without Re-Architecting Your Data Center.

This whiteppaer discusses how enterprises can achieve more, operate efficiently and invest wisely by enabling faster virtualization rollout and by overcoming traditional hypervisor deployment challenges without the need to re-architect their data center.

DELL Advanced Infrastructure Manager

Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) powers the efficient data center by allowing you to transition your current investment in IT assets to a dynamic, easily scalable, and highly efficient infrastructure. IT services can be dynamically provisioned or reconfigured in minutes, helping you increase the utilization of existing assets, recover quickly if problems occur, and rapidly scale services to support your business. 

A Unified Resource Management Platform

Dell’s Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) can help in leveraging your current investment in IT infrastructure, and provide a cost-effective means to implement disaster recovery.

Building Blocks for Data Center DNA

Speeding delivery of virtualized resources enables organizations to control operational costs and support growth dynamically. Simplified management of both physical and virtual resources within the IT infrastructure also boosts agility by allowing organizations to transform processes and adjust service levels flexibly and cost-effectively. Read this whitepaper to gather insights on the best practices for carrying out these initiatives.

Streamlining Network Connectivity for Agile Data Centers

Changing how a data center operates can be a large undertaking that cannot be accomplished solely by technology. Automating processes helps minimize repetitive tasks, enabling IT staffs to focus their efforts on innovation for critical operations, react quickly to changing requirements, and break down inefficient process silos.

Managing Virtualized Data Centers Efficiently

The widespread adoption of VMware® virtualization has created many facets to managing data centers. The Dell™ Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) software helps simplify and automate the management of highly virtualized environments.

Deploying Dell AIM allows VMware virtualized environments to be run in a flexible, resource-efficient manner. Administrators can use AIM to create a shared pool of server resources, and then dynamically allocate them to VMware ESX clusters and hosts to match business needs.

Extending Virtualized Environments with Multiple-hypervisor Management

Many organizations deploy server virtualization as a strategy to help reduce costs, improve IT flexibility and manageability, and
enhance efficiency, but they often virtualize a relatively small fraction of their IT infrastructures. Organizations not extending the reach of virtualization across their data centers may miss out on the potential benefits that virtualization can offer.
