To arrive at our performance-per-dollar metric, we divided the total OPM by the total solution cost of each configuration. (For more information on how we calculated our cost analysis results, see the science behind the report.) As the graph below shows, the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX server with RM5 Series SAS SSDs provided 4.9711 OPM per dollar, whereas the configuration with enterprise SATA SSDs delivered 3.4101 OPM per dollar. This means the configuration with value SAS SSDs produced 45 percent more OPM per dollar. With a solution that produces a better return on transactional database performance, your organization could serve more customers for less or invest more money in initiatives that grow your business.
