whitepaper Solution Brief: Dell Equalogic PS Series Can Offer Robust, High-Availability Infrastructure for Microsoft's 2008 R2 HYPER-V2009-11-04 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. While virtualization can offer a wide range of IT benefits, running multiple applications on each physical server can place availability at risk. If a physical server fails, all the virtualized applications running on that server could become unavailable. Even temporary downtime can impair worker productivity and jeopardize revenue.
