Aging servers don’t offer all of the performance-boosting innovations and improvements that newer ones offer. When you replace older Dell EMC PowerEdge R630 and R640 servers in VMware vSAN clusters with latest- generation Dell EMC PowerEdge R650 servers powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, you can unlock the transactional database performance potential that helps meet user demand and boost revenue. In our data center, a vSAN cluster of the latest-generation servers processed up to 5 times the OPM of clusters of older servers. If you’re running OLTP SQL Server workloads on clusters of older PowerEdge servers, replacing them with the latest-generation Dell EMC PowerEdge R650 servers powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors could deliver these performance benefits and more.
