Dell and Microsoft: A shared vision for your journey

“We want to deliver solutions that help IT

organizations drive results for their

business, and virtualization is a big part of

this. Dell and Microsoft believe that a

virtualization solution should reduce

IT complexity to help achieve these

better business results. The

integrated end-to-end solutions that Dell

and Microsoft offer provide an easy path

for our mutual customers to embrace

virtualization and drive business results.”Bob Kelly

Corporate Vice President

Storage Challenges• Data growth• Segregated data islands• Inefficient resource utilization• Siloed applications; data duplication• Scalability limitations; forklift upgrades• Complex and time consuming management• High and recurring software costs

Storage Strategy• Standardize, Simplify, Centralize• Virtualize, Modernize, Eliminate

Dell Delivers

• Virtualized storage architecture abstracts storage complexities

• Integrated storage management simplifies virtual deployments

• Thin operations lower storage footprint

• Automated tiring slashes total cost of storage

• Perpetual software licensing protects investment

• Pre-validated, integrated solution stacks simplifies virtualization projects

Infrastructure consolidationLower cost, simplify management, protect investment

True storage virtualization makes it easy to provision, maintain and make changes to Microsoft® Hyper-V™ servers

55 percent of data migrated to low cost drives with automated tiered data

Advanced thin provisioning allows the team to accommodate unexpected growth patterns

Single scalable platform allows PING to add hardware as the company grows

“The ability to provision, change and move storage easily from one host server to another brings the promise of virtual servers to reality. Dell Fluid Data makes Dell Compellent our preferred platform for deploying servers.”

Eric Hart, Network/Infrastructure Manager, PING

Maximize efficiency: server consolidation

Optimize Resiliency: Disaster management for virtualized enterprise

“Global financial markets operate around the clock, and our systems need to deliver high availability to support client transactions. Our business relies on keeping systems highly responsive and available, whether it’s five minutes after the opening bell or in the middleof a raging blizzard.”

Ed Eades, senior systems integrator Munder CapitalDell Compellent’s Replay technology takes space-efficient snapshots of Munder’s production data every 15 minutes

Administrators can recover data for Microsoft applications quickly and easily using Dell Compellent Instant Replay™ Server Manager boot from SAN

Dell Compellent’s single pool of virtual storage complements the Hyper-V environment by simplifying storage management.

Dell’s Fluid Data Architecture resulted in 62% fewer terabytes and 90% faster access

We were able to cut down our allocated storage from 80TB down to 30TB which resulted in tremendous cost savings

Dell Compellent provides us with a long-term solution that can grow alongside our business—not a three-to-five-year stopgap

Increase agility: Flexible, adaptable infrastructure

“We knew we had to find a way to expand our infrastructure to support continued growth. But our hodgepodge of IBM, HP, and Gateway solutions made it difficult to sort through the specific data storage requirements throughout the business.”

Martin Vogt, Manager, Freeman
