Prowess ran HammerDB performance tests on Oracle Database to determine how well performance scaled from a single two-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd server to a single four-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge R940 server. TPM results are based on the median of three runs with 750 warehouses for both 433 and 505 users and are normalized to show relative performance against the single two-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd system.
As Figure 6 shows, performance for the four-socket system was essentially double the performance of the single two- socket system for both the 433- and 505-user test scenarios.

For users looking to reduce management complexity and costs, the Dell EMC PowerEdge four-socket system offers a compelling value for both performance and TCO.
