EMC is providing support for Microsoft's recently announced virtualisation expansion programme.
EMC's move includes support for Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and Microsoft System Center management suite.
Virtualisation allows firms to reduce their hardware costs by running multiple operating systems on a single server to support different applications and services.
"Combined with Microsoft's virtualisation technology, EMC's innovative storage and information management solutions enable customers to realise operational benefits and achieve a more dynamic IT environment," said Tom Roloff, senior vice-president of EMC Consulting.
"EMC is well positioned to assist customers adopting Microsoft virtualisation technologies through our leading Microsoft consultancy, storage technology integration across Microsoft's broad product portfolio and deep experience in information infrastructure for virtual environments," he said.
