Architected and Designed for Virtualization Performance

Designed for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R805 rack server was designed from the ground up for balanced virtualization performance. The PowerEdge R805 is fine-tuned to provide virtualization performance with a carefully selected formula of processor technology, memory capacity and I/O (input/output) scalability. Featuring up to twice the memory and I/O scalability of previous-generation, standard 2U two-socket servers, the PowerEdge R805 helps remove the barriers to running memory and I/O-bound applications such as VMware® ESX Server. The PowerEdge R805 allows you to start migrating virtual machines within a few clicks of a mouse, streamlining deployment in virtualized environments.

Dell’s virtualization strategy is to help you manage your infrastructure with the tools you already have, which is why Dell workd with industry leaders to deliver an integrated solution for managing physical and virtual infrastructures.

Virtualization Solutions
Dell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenter
What if you could manage your physical infrastructure from your virtual console?
What if you could rapidly and consistently provision hardware and deploy virtual machines from within VMware vCenter?
What if you could reduce the number of steps needed to deploy virtual infrastructure?

With the Dell Management Plug-In for VMware vCenter installed in your VMware environment, you can:
• Get deep-level detail from Dell servers for inventory, monitoring and alerting— all from within vCenter
• Deploy BIOS and firmware updates to Dell servers from within vCenter
• Build hardware and hypervisor profiles and deploy any combination of the two on bare-metal Dell PowerEdge servers without a preboot execution environment (PXE)
• Automatically perform Dell-recommended vCenter actions based on Dell hardware alerts
• Access Dell hardware warranty information online

And, to give you even more power, we deliver our plug-in as a virtual appliance. That makes it easier to deploy and configure and offers integration directly into the vCenter console, providing more information inside of vCenter itself — unlike many other vendors who provide only "link-and-launch" capabilities to point to their own proprietary consoles.

The combination of the Dell Management Plug-In for VMware vCenter and the revolutionary embedded management features offered by Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller in Dell PowerEdge servers gives you an unmatched level of integration between vCenter and your server hardware.
