One of the key advantages of replacing servers is improved performance that either lets you consolidate older solutions or gives you performance headroom for future growth. When you replace older PowerEdge R620 and R630 servers in VMware vSAN clusters with new Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 servers powered by 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, you can unlock both the transactional database performance potential that helps meet user demand and boost revenue and the benefits of consolidation. If your mission-critical OLTP workloads run on older PowerEdge servers in a vSAN cluster, replacing them with the latest Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 servers powered by 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors could deliver these benefits and more.
