The benefits of virtualization expand beyond just server consolidation. A flexible, scalable infrastructure based on open standards can be achieved through thoughtful planning and implementation. The details of how to actually proceed are where you need specific real world information. Being able to "look over the shoulder" of those who have undertaken and successfully complete a Virtualization project provides the kind of insight you need to make the best decisions and achieve the highest level of success in your organization. This eSeminar will provide that information.
This eSeminar will showcase and provide the details on Dell's own Virtualization project and its success. Experts from Dell will discuss the details of the project, how key metrics and ROI were achieved, and how the environment performs for the organization. And as always, you can ask these highly experienced professionals your specific questions.
In this eSeminar, you will learn:
- How the Dell IT team expects to virtualize an additional 3,000 to 4,000 servers by 2009, for a total of more than 8,000 virtualized servers and expected $52M in savings
- How Dell IT partnered with Dell Infrastructure Consulting Services to implement a world class VMware virtualized infrastructure using PowerEdge servers with Intel Xeon processor 5500 series
- How the Dell IT team determined their consolidation ratios and eliminated datacenters
- How Dell IT, since implementing VMware virtualization, has reduced application deployment time from an average of 45 days to just 4!
