Dell improves server choices
http://www.cbronline.com/article_news.asp?guid=E6F9ACEC-FC30-402B-8564-E5A8BE6FBA83
The company said two new PowerEdge servers include increased memory to support virtual environments. The PowerEdge R805 is a two-socket server, and the R905 is a four-socket server. Both support AMD’s dual- or quad-core Opteron processors.
Dell has partnered with VMware to embed its ESX 3i hypervisor in the servers. Dell said the R805 and R905 offer 23% higher virtualization performance than HP ProLiant DL580 G5, 8% higher than IBM System x3850, and 16% higher than Sun Fire X4450.
It also said it has signed an OEM agreement with Citrix Systems to embed its XenServer products in its systems. Citrix also recently announced OEM agreements with HP, Lenovo, and NEC, and XenServer is now embedded in more than 50% of all 64-bit x86 servers sold worldwide.
Very cool, the announcement of embedded XenServer brings more choice in the virtualization space which has to be a good thing, and the new servers sound very cool, I’m off to read up about them.
