The consul service which supports the server imagination conversion of Dell and the customer strengthening - - the hypothetical conversion functional

Dell announced that October 10th, the consulting service which supports the imagination conversion environmental construction of the customer is strengthened. Because of this, you aim for the server product and the offer of the hypothetical conversion one stop solution which combines service. Collectively, it made that offer of the server who installs the hypothetical conversion software "ESX of VMware Server 3i", is started even within 2007 clear.

Dell, by the fact that the consulting service which supports the imagination conversion environmental construction of the customer is systematized formally, has assured strengthening in the service aspect. The system which can offer service quickly in compliance with, the demand of customer such as the service which preinstalls the hypothetical conversion software suite "VMware of capacity plan and VMware of hypothetical conversion environment Infrastructure 3" in the server and the planning which includes backup environment was serviced. In addition, the occasion where service is systematized, the VMware recognition technician (VCP) it has increased in present 3 times.

Beginning of concert, as for benevolence Takashi Sakurada which serves the headquarters chief in the enterprise marketing headquarters of Dell, "as for CPU activity ratio of the server when it averages, it is the circumstance which is less than 20%. But, with ESX Server of VMware with the customer whom you imagine convert the server, averaging, CPU activity ratio has improved 60% or more ", that, appealing the usefulness of server imagination conversion. On that, to introduce as the server product which optimizes the construction of hypothetical conversion environment, the Opteron processor "Barcelona" of AMD (development cord/code name) the server the server of "PowerEdge 2970" of of maximum 2CPU it loads and maximum 4CPU "6950 it is same".

Dell and AMD concluding strategic partnership in 2006 October, later, as for the server of Dell which loads the Opteron processor there are 3 products. And this time, Dell made that it corresponds to Barcelona which AMD announces in the September this year promptly with the existing product clear.

According to Dell, you say that with server imagination conversion "high performance" "mass memory" "electric power consumption grasps the key low,". At such point as for Barcelona, in comparison with the case which the function "Rapid Virtualization Indexing which compensates the memory space control in hypothetical conversion environment (RVI)" by the fact that it mounts, lightens the overhead of ESX, Server does not utilize RVI function, performance 10? 20% it is possible to improve.

Explanation could do by the concert even from Japan AMD. As for Kazuyuki the Tada of same company enterprise business development headquarters headquarters chief, concerning RVI function, "hundreds, inside the data center which is thousands and the server, 10? Influence it is very large as many as 20% for difference to appear in performance. At the laboratory of this corporation efficiency 30% is also an example which was raised ", you said, appealed that efficiency. If it does from Dell, by the fact that Barcelona is loaded anew in the server product, it becomes the appearance where advances from the optimization of hypothetical conversion function at hardware level.

It was mounted on Barcelona "Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI)" the difference of performance when function is utilized. Most under graph state of RVI functional off. 14%? It is found that 23% efficiency has improved,

As a new product, offer of the server who installs ESX Server 3i also within year is planned. ESX Server 3i until recently was necessary, "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3" by the fact that the service console of the base has become unnecessary, it is possible to operate the hyper visor directly on the hardware. Because of that, the server vendor does not depend on the service console, reaches the point where it can offer the server who installs hypothetical conversion function beforehand.

The new product becomes the 4th server product which loads Opteron. To adopt Barcelona to the processor, increase memory capacity and the I/O slot. You say that it corresponds to also the diskless environment which offers only function as a processor.
