Dell offers hypervisor options from market leaders and specialized software options to extend your solution's capabilities.

VMware® vSphere™ offers a robust and full-featured virtualization platform. Data centers of all sizes rely on vSphere to provide reliability and flexibility for their mission-critical applications. Dell helps extend this functionality with the Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter. This tool compresses tasks and brings various management processes for Dell servers, such as firmware updates and bare metal deployment, into the VMware vCenter server management console — the standard for VMware virtualization management.

Citrix® XenServer™ offers basic partitioning and live migration capabilities and integrates its XenCenter™ multiserver management console into every virtualized server. You can add third-party offerings to augment functionality.

Extend the capabilities of your virtual environment beyond hypervisors with specialized software from Dell virtualization management partners. Symantec/Altiris, Vizioncore, Platform Computing, PlateSpin and Double-Take offer focused tools that you can use to simplify setup and migration, automate workload management, implement alternative disaster-recovery strategies and more.
