Solution Brief: Dell Equalogic PS Series Can Offer Robust, High-Availability Infrastructure for Microsoft's 2008 R2 HYPER-V | 2009-11-04 | Dell EqualLogic |
| Virtualization has become a popular IT strategy for enhancing hardware utilization, helping organizations decrease power, cooling, and data center footprint costs, and enhance the flexibility of IT.
