Dell’s Hyper-V HCL and Support Doc

One my techs sent me this handy link to Dell’s Support Doc on Server 2008 Hyper-V.  Looks good for those like us that continue to hold our nose and do business with infamous double-talking system builder (yes, they called on more of my clients last week).

Dell will provide limited support for the beta version of Hyper-V included in Windows Server 2008 x64 installed on Dell servers. This includes adding and removing the Hyper-V role and limited configuration of the role. The Hyper-V Beta release is currently supported on the following Dell Servers:

· PowerEdge™ 6800*

· PowerEdge 6850*

· PowerEdge 1950

· PowerEdge 2900

· PowerEdge 2950

· PowerEdge 1900

· PowerEdge 1955

· PowerEdge 6950

· PowerEdge SC1435

· PowerEdge 2970

· PowerEdge T105

· PowerEdge R200**

· PowerEdge R900

· PowerEdge M600

· PowerEdge M605

You too can run your own “poor man’s sand box” with the Dell PowerEdge T105 starting at $349 and an Action Pack Subscription.  Note the lack of support for the ever popular PE 840.
