When we ran our OLTP database workload (DVD Store 2) on the vSAN clusters, we saw significantly better performance for the Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 solution powered by 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors versus the older solutions. The new systems delivered more than seven times the orders per minute (OPM) of the legacy PowerEdge R620 solution and more than twice the OPM of the previous-generation PowerEdge R630 solution. This level of OPM increase means that a cluster of new Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 servers with 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors could replace several older servers and prepare organizations to handle many ecommerce orders now and in the future.
