Supported virtualization

One of the key features for virtualization on the R720 and R720xd is the support for a failsafe

hypervisor. By running the 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 26 highlights the virtualization support for the R720 and R720xd.
