Supported virtualization
One of the key features for virtualization on the PowerEdge R620 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 27 highlights the virtualization support for the R620.
