While continuing to balance several business needs, your organization undoubtedly has more tough decisions ahead. Fortunately, some of those decisions may center on supporting a growing customer base or helping your employees adapt to a new normal. When it’s time to upgrade to meet those challenges, you may benefit from a server solution that can not only smoothly support VDI users and increase capacity for digital transactions, but also offer the possibility of modern, value-adding technologies and security features.
When we ran a mixed workload on a cluster of single-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge R6515 servers with AMD EPYC™ 7543P processors and on a cluster of dual-socket legacy Dell EMC PowerEdge R630 servers, we found that the PowerEdge R6515 cluster delivered performance improvements with 32.1 percent more OPM and lower latency for VDI users on CPU Sensitive and Storage Sensitive tasks. When we deployed Tanzu on the newer-generation cluster, we were able to run a Weathervane workload of 2,500 simulated users on a multi-tier web app in Kubernetes while still offering transactional database and VDI performance improvements over the legacy cluster. With the increased efficiency from the newer cluster, you might choose to modernize your apps, support more VDI users, or expand your OLTP database workloads. When your business is ready for new data center technology, Dell EMC PowerEdge R6515 servers could be the right balance of value and performance while opening the door for future possibilities.
