6. Greater Computing Density Achieving a balance between cost and scalability for I/O, memory & CPU: Memory I/O CPU Virtualization requires 2-3X the I/O bandwidth over the network Virtulization requires higher number of DIMM slots than traditional servers New Quad Core processors are no longer the bottleneck

7. DELL CONFIDENTIAL 7 10GB ETHERNET + 4- PORT NIC  Intel Quad-Port NIC –This NIC is PCIe x4 v1.1Quad-Port adapter card. Key features offered by this card include IOAT, Virtualization support, iSCSI remote boot, Auto-negotiation with 10/100/1000 Base-T and Teaming. It should be offered as Factory Installed and APOS option  10GBE NICS –Intel 10GbE 1-port SR optic – details to be published in next revision –Post RTS: –10GbE option for mezzanine card (2 X LOM) –10GbE add-in card option (10GbaseT)

9. Why Embed The Hypervisor Hypervisor [Hi-per-visor] 1. a virtualization platform that allows multiple operating systems to run on a host computer at the same time (Example: VMware ESX Server). Benefits of an Embedded Hypervisor Migrate VM’s within minutes of Boot 100% full hypervisor capabilities 80% fewer patches than non- embedded version Smaller attack surface Integrated into the HW for seamless deployment Boots directly to onboard storage device

10. Virtualization-Optimized Greater Computing Density 2x Memory & I/O of standard 2U, 2-socket systems Better Performance, Greater Capacity Up to 30-40% greater performance for virtualized applications Faster Time to Productivity Up and running within 2 minutes Breakthrough Energy Economy 25% less power consumed

11. PowerEdge 2950/2900 &R900 VMMARK RESULTS DELL CONFIDENTIAL 11 R900 12.23 result is being reviewed by VMware, will be posted shortly III

12. Benchmark Highlights Dell is a virtualization leader  In VMware VMmark, the market leading benchmark for virtualization servers, Dell is the undisputed leader. Results are published in 2 different categories – 16 cores (4-processors) and 8 cores (2- processors) and Dell is #1 in both 16 cores (4-way servers) –Dell PowerEdge R900 = 12.23p (Caneland) 8 cores (2-way servers) –Dell PowerEdge 2950 III = 8.47p (Harpertown)  This means the R900 has scored the highest VMmark score in history giving it the title “The world’s most powerful virtualization server”. The results are official and are already published for 2950, soon to be published also for R900 on www.vmware.com (expected on 13 th Dec for R900)www.vmware.com  Official PowerNote is being worked and will be distributed/posted

13. …continued New PowerEdge R900:  #1 4-socket virtualization performance; beats HP's DL580 G5 and BL680 G5  SPECjAppServer2004: 2x1950 III and R900 #1 2-node app server/database performance (Oracle) Customer-ready PowerNote Customer-ready PowerNote  #1 4-socket result in the industry on SPECjbb2005  96% performance per watt advantage over PE6850 PowerEdge 2950 III  #1 2-socket result on SPECjbb2005  #1 2-socket virtualization performance; first ESX 3.5 VMmark publication PowerEdge R200  SPECjbb2005: #1 1-socket x86 result, 98% better than closest competitor (to be published on 5/12)

14. Trends in storage consolidation  VMware 3.5 supports –iSCSI –Jumboframes  Introduction of 10GB Ethernet  By 2009 iSCSI will exceed FC

15. For different customer needs  iSCSI  SAN value with lower cost infrastructure (no special equipment required)  Comparable performance to Fibre Channel for many apps  Broad App and OS support: Windows, Linux, Exchange, SQL, MSCS, VMware Highly Available - Flexible Configurations – Easy to Manage - Affordable entry price DELL POWERVAULT MD3000i DELL|EMC CX3- 10c, 20c, 40c DELL|EMC AX150i

16. For different customer needs DELL|EMC CX3- 10c, 20c, 40c, 80 DELL|EMC AX150  Fibre Channel  for highest performance We can offer iSCSI and FC on the same array* for flexibility and simplified management * for CX3-10c/20c/40c  iSCSI ánd Fibre Channel  for highest performance
