Supported Virtualization; Table 21. Virtualization Support - Dell PowerEdge R320 Technical Manual

Supported virtualization

One of the key features for virtualization on the PowerEdge R320 is the support for a fail- safe
hypervisor. By running a hypervisor on an optional SD card and installing a backup copy on the
other mirrored SD card, you can protect against hardware failure and maximize virtualization uptime.
Table 21 highlights the virtualization support for the R320.
