In a VMware vSAN cluster, the latest-generation servers powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors completed more orders per minute (OPM) than clusters of older servers

Older servers can expose workload performance issues that in turn can create obstacles for your organization. Even if the servers deliver consistent performance year after year, they might not have the innovations or resources to help keep up with growth. By replacing aging servers in VMware® vSAN™ clusters with latest-generation Dell EMC™ PowerEdge™ R650 servers powered by 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, you could boost performance of online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads to meet today’s demand and potentially hit more aggressive revenue or usage targets for increased demand of the future.

We found that latest-generation Dell EMC PowerEdge R650 servers processed more transactions for Microsoft SQL Server OLTP workloads running on vSAN clusters. Compared to the performance of older Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 or R630 servers in vSAN clusters, the performance of the latest-generation servers could help your organization generate more revenue and expand your user base.
