Microsoft and Dell – helping customers start the journey to Private Cloud

Today Dell offers vStart 50m for Hyper-V

In April Dell and Microsoft announced a new, three-year initiative to help our customers deploy and manage virtualization and private cloud technologies. Since that time, we have been hard at work to deliver solutions that do just that. Today I am excited to share the first new solution from our initiative – Dell’s vStart 50m, a pre-built virtualization appliance that brings together Dell hardware and software and Windows Server Hyper-V to help organizations quickly and easily achieve benefits of virtualization without needing specialized skills.

Announced today, Dell’s vStart 50m is the newest offering in Dell’s vStart line and the first to support Hyper-V. Using vStart 50m, customers can focus their resources on creating business value rather than building infrastructure, shortening their path to private cloud and with a lowered TCO. You can learn more about this new solution from Dell and get started today.

No matter where you are in your virtualization or cloud journey Microsoft, and our great partners like Dell, have solutions that will help you get cloud benefits today – on your terms.  This is just the beginning of the new solutions coming from the Dell and Microsoft initiative and I look forward to sharing more soon.
