If your company is running important business applications in VMware vSAN clusters of servers that are several years old, chances are good that you’re considering upgrading to newer hardware. Our testing demonstrated that our clusters of single-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515 servers and clusters of dual-socket HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers could both improve upon the database performance of a legacy cluster with five-year-old servers by more than 50 percent, with the Dell EMC cluster achieving 93.4 percent of the performance of the HPE cluster.
Due to its lower socket and core counts, the Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515 cluster we tested would require fewer software licenses than the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 cluster. This, along with its lower purchase price, adds up to savings of $268,957.71 over four years. Taking costs and performance together, the Dell EMC cluster achieved 9.6 percent more OPM per dollar than the HPE cluster.
