Supported virtualization

One of the key features for virtualization on the PowerEdge T420 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 T420.
