Dell's latest PowerEdge servers were designed with large memory support and improved I/O throughput to take advantage of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V.
They also feature embedded server management that integrates with System Center 2012. Company officials claim PowerEdge updates can be performed up to 11 times faster and in 81% fewer steps than HP servers in a comparable multi-vendor OS and hypervisor environment.
They also noted that the experience gained by Dell in building cloud systems with companies including Microsoft and eBay is available to other customers.
"For decades, Dell has worked with Microsoft to deliver real solutions to customer challenges," said Forrest Norrod, vice president and general manager, Dell Server Solutions.
