One of the industry’s most scalable virtualization servers is now available from Dell and based on the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor, AMD today announced. Enterprise customers interested in consolidating server infrastructure may turn to two new virtualization servers from Dell utilizing Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors, including the Dell PowerEdge R905 which set a new standard in VMmark performance testing with 60 virtual machines. The innovative new Dell servers take advantage of AMD Direct Connect Architecture to reduce bottlenecks, minimize latency and increase the performance of virtualized applications to maximize the benefits of virtualization.

“Energy and space constraints are requiring more enterprise customers to consolidate while simplifying their server management requirements,” said Randy Allen, corporate vice president and general manager, Server and Workstation, AMD. “The combination of Direct Connect Architecture and AMD Virtualization technology helps them achieve those objectives by enabling more virtual machines on a server than ever before. Dell’s innovative server offerings provide an optimal balance of virtualization performance and manageability for customers looking to scale their current virtualization infrastructure.”
