Industry-leading virtualization performance from Dell
Dell is optimizing for virtualization across the entire portfolio — not just on blades — to meet your density, flexibility and performance needs without locking you into proprietary infrastructures. Dell™ PowerEdge™ holds top VMmark performance scores for 2-socket rack, 2-socket blades and 4-socket rack servers.
Testing by Principled Technologies shows how moving 32-bit servers to virtual machines on a 64-bit Dell server offers cost, performance and space advantages while lowering the risks of migration to 64-bit.
Comparing the performance of the PowerEdge 2950 using two different quad-core Intel® Xeon® processors show that the Intel Xeon E5300 family of processors can approach the performance of the X5300 series of processors while realizing a power savings of approximately 15%.
Dell engineers tested two Dell™ PowerEdge™ 2950 servers with dual-core Intel® Xeon® 5160 and quad-core Intel Xeon X5355 processors alongside a previous-generation PowerEdge 2850 server with dualcore Intel Xeon processors in a virtualized environment based on VMware® Virtual Infrastructure 3.
