When we take the number of orders per minute each cluster achieved in a VMware vSAN environment and divide it by the total cost for hardware and four-year licensing and support, we find that the single-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge R7515 cluster achieved a 9.6 percent better cost/performance ratio than the dual-socket HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 cluster did.
Below is a chart comparing performance and cost data between the two current-generation clusters. The single- socket Dell EMC cluster offered 93.4 percent of the dual-socket HPE cluster’s performance at a 14.8 percent lower price point.
