Flying Right

“The Dell team’s evaluations proved we could control costs by reducing our server footprint and power requirements with the PowerEdge M600 blade servers and the VMware software upgrade. Dell and VMware collaborate closely, and we got the benefit of their combined knowledge and expertise from Dell ProConsult Services.”

Atlas Air plans to upgrade and relocate its IT infrastructure to accommodate business growth, but lacks the staff size and specialized expertise to plan and implement the necessary hardware and virtualization improvements.

Dell ProConsult Services helps Atlas Air create a plan for moving to a new facility with minimal disruption, and helps the IT team evaluate an upgrade to Dell^TM  PowerEdge^TM  blade servers and VMware^®  vSphere^TM  4 software to support the company’s growth.

• Get IT Faster: Dell helps complete the VMware vSphere 4 planning project approximately 60% faster than Atlas Air could on its own
• Run IT Better: VMware vSphere 4 software enhances availability with advanced server monitoring and dynamic resource scheduling; Dell blade servers reduce space requirements by 66% and energy needs by 21% compared to Atlas Air’s previous rack servers
• Grow IT Smarter: Dell planning helps the IT team reduce future server deployment time from hours to minutes
