Prescribing Performance

“As part of the install process, the Dell team also showed us how to fine-tune our vSphere configuration, and we instantly saw a performance increase of approximately 40 percent on our hosts.”

- Roy Turner, server systems engineer, Frederick Memorial Hospital

The hospital is dedicated to providing the highest-quality healthcare around the clock, but with the number of servers in the data center growing, maintaining 24/7 uptime was becoming time-consuming and costly.

Dell ProConsult Services helped Frederick Memorial Hospital (FMH) virtualize the data center using VMware on Dell^TM  PowerEdge^TM servers; Dell subsequently helped to implement an upgrade to the VMware^® vSphere^TM  4 operating system to further enhance availability of IT services.

• Get IT Faster: Dell ProConsult Services helps complete the VMware vSphere 4 project in about half the time FMH would have taken.
• Run IT Better: Initial virtualization consolidates servers by 94% using Dell PowerEdge servers; upgrading to VMware vSphere 4 software enhances availability with advanced server monitoring and dynamic resource allocation; the Dell ProConsult Services experts’ fine-tuning helps the VMware vSphere solution increase host performance by almost 40%
