Storage networks provide the link between the servers that need data and the storage systems that store that data. Too often, however, storage networks are just considered the connective tissue in the storage environment and are often overlooked when greater performance, scalability or new services are needed. 

Many organizations understand they need cost-visibility or a more formal chargeback process in order to further expand their virtual data centers. The challenge is where to begin and how to implement an automated solution. 

This paper explores common challenges associated with server virtualization deployments and the ways Citrix Essentials for Hyper-V together with Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager can help organizations maximize the value of server virtualization. 

This white paper provides an overview of recommended servers, storage, software, and services. It can be used to plan, scope, and procure the required components to set up a virtualization infrastructure. 

To help address the challenges of enterprise desktop management, VMware and Dell have created a scalable VMware View reference design based on VMware Infrastructure 3, Dell PowerEdge servers, and Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage arrays. 

This paper describes the Dell Reference Architecture, a blueprint or a starting configuration, for Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 in a virtualized server environment and provides guidelines for designing and sizing the storage for the same using Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage systems.
