Dell Technology Brief Sample

Companies that run their business-critical enterprise and technical applications on RISC-based servers are often locked in to specific vendors and operating systems, and their ongoing costs are high relative to the level of performance they enjoy. When moving to industry-standard platforms, these organizations can leverage the latest technologies, such as advanced processors, high capacity I/O, and virtualization solutions to run more server instances—supporting multiple OSs—on fewer, more efficient hardware units.

In addition to these business applications, basic, and sometimes neglected, IT infrastructure applications—such as Web servers, DNS servers, FTP servers and others—are great candidates for migration. For example, many organizations have DNS servers that were set up years ago on a RISC-based platform that are performing fine, but require significant costs to maintain, power, and cool each year. Migrating these systems is simple and can provide immediate ROI to IT organizations looking to reduce costs and maintain or improve performance.
