As our tests show, investing in the powerful new Dell PowerEdge R920 running Oracle VM Server 3.2.8 with Oracle Database 12c VMs achieves cost savings without compromising performance. In our testing, a single Dell PowerEdge R920 could perform five times the work of a single HP ProLiant DL385 G6 server; the costs to power and cool the Dell PowerEdge would be 43 percent less than the five servers it could replace. The three-year software licensing costs of the Dell PowerEdge R920 server would be 22 percent lower than the licensing costs for the five-server solution. These dramatic savings—which come out to $212,091 for our single test environment — could grow to millions of dollars in a larger consolidation effort.

In our hands-on testing, a Dell EMC PowerEdge R840 server with RM5 Series value SAS and CD5 Series data center NVMe SSDs outperformed a configuration with enterprise SATA SSDs. The solution with value SAS SSDs delivered 106 percent more operations per second and just over 50 percent lower latency than the SATA-based configuration. Data center NVMe SSDs boosted this performance even further, producing 137 percent more OPS and 57 percent better response times than the configuration with SATA drives. Value SAS and data center NVMe SSDs also provided up to 132 percent higher analytics performance per dollar than the enterprise SATA SSDs we tested. With value SAS and data center NVMe SSDs from KIOXIA, your business can consider a future beyond SATA.

The 16th Generation server handled more database transactions than a previous-generation PowerEdge R750 server with vSphere 7 New servers and software versions can be a boon for your organization. If you’re running MySQL workloads for web applications, retail, or other use cases, your organization could see a performance boost by upgrading to latest-generation Dell PowerEdge R760 servers running VMware vSphere 8.0. In our testing, a PowerEdge R760 server handled 84.5 percent more NOPM than an older Dell PowerEdge R750 server. We also found that Live Optics infrastructure monitoring software allows you to view performance data for new PowerEdge R760 and vSphere 8.0 environments so you can manage those resources to optimize your MySQL workloads.

By upgrading from the legacy solution we tested to the new Intel processor-based Dell and VMware solution, you could do 18 times the work in the same amount of space. Imagine what that performance could mean to your business: Consolidate workloads from across your company, lower your power and cooling bills, and limit datacenter expansion in the future, all while maintaining a consistent user experience—the list of potential benefits is huge. Try running DPACK, which can help you identify bottlenecks in your environment and inform you about your current performance needs. Then consider how the consolidation ratio we proved could be helpful for your company. The Intel processor-powered Dell PowerEdge R730 solution with VMware vSphere and Dell Storage SC4020, also powered by Intel, could be the right destination for your upgrade journey.

Compared to an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server with HPE Smart Array P440ar Controller. In the area of big data analysis, speed is vital. We used the TeraSort benchmark to test two Apache Hadoop environments: a Dell PowerEdge R750 server with a Dell PERC 11 RAID controller, and an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server with an HPE Smart Array P440ar Controller. In both time to complete the workload and throughput, the Dell PERC 11 solution came out on top.

Dell PowerEdge R750 servers: Stronger Apache Hadoop big data performance with high availability Conclusion Organizations of all sizes have incorporated big data applications into their workflows, and rely on them daily. The enormous volume of information that companies now contend with drives the need for effective storage solutions. These solutions must support strong performance by delivering speedy access to data, which helps companies make critical business decisions in a timely manner. In addition, effective storage solutions protect data and keep it available even if individual storage components stop working. We ran a disk-intensive TeraSort big data workload on two server-and-storage solutions. Both solutions used RAID for redundancy, but only one of them used high-speed NVMe storage media. The current-generation Dell PowerEdge R750 server with a Dell PERC 11 RAID controller and NVMe storage outperformed the previous-generation HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server with an HPE Smart Array P440ar Controller. The Dell solution completed a disk-intensive TeraSort workload in 27 percent less time and achieved a 36 percent greater throughput rate. These results show that by selecting the Dell PowerEdge R750 server with a Dell PERC 11 RAID controller, companies no longer need to choose between the data protection that comes with true redundant hardware RAID solutions and the performance benefits of the fastest NVMe drives. The Dell-Broadcom solution lets companies have both.
