Just like with so many other things in life, one size doesn't fit all in virtualization too. A mission-critical, high-volume application, for example, might require an approach to virtualization that is not well suited or cost-effective for other applications.

IT organizations can take an open approach that offers unified and consolidated management capabilities for streamlining virtualized platforms deploying hypervisors from multiple vendors.

The Dell Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM) in concert with the Microsoft Hyper-V™ hypervisor and Microsoft System Center management suite enables organizations to cost-effectively and flexibly deploy and manage multivendor hypervisor environments. Download this whitepaper to find out how.

Many enterprises looking to increase flexibility, improve scalability, enhance availability and reduce the costs of data storage have turned to storage area networks (SANs). Yet traditional hardware vendors have failed to deliver on the promise of SANs and doom their products to early obsolescence.

In contrast, Compellent Fluid Data™ storage is designed for persistence, not obsolescence. Using an open, non-proprietary hardware architecture, the Compellent SAN enables businesses to continuously integrate new disk drive, switch and network interface technologies without having to replace existing hardware or software.
