Real-world server consolidation: 35 HP ProLiant
DL385 servers onto 5 Dell PowerEdge M610 blade
servers running Hyper-V
TEST REPORT
OCTOBER 2009
KEY FINDINGS
z Five Dell PowerEdge M610 solutions
with Hyper-V replaced 35 legacy HP
ProLiant DL385 G1 solutions, yielding a
payback in as few as 10 months.
1
(See
Figures 1 and 2.)
z The 5 Dell PowerEdge M610 solutions
with Hyper-V used around 1/4th of the
power, 1/6th of the software costs, and
1/5th the data center rack space of the
35 legacy HP ProLiant DL385 G1
solutions.
1
(See Figures 1, 3, and 6.)
z The 5 Dell PowerEdge M610 solutions
with Hyper-V achieved over 70 percent
more throughput, delivering an average
OPM for each VM of 15,734 compared
to 9,005 average for each legacy HP
ProLiant DL385 G1 solution.

Executive summary
Dell Inc. (Dell) commissioned Principled Technologies (PT)
to consolidate 35 4-year-old HP ProLiant DL385 server and
storage solutions onto 5 Dell™ PowerEdge™ M610 blade
server and storage solutions using Microsoft Windows
Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V. Unlike studies that estimate
the potential consolidation factor based on a small sample,
we consolidated the full set of server and storage solutions,
allowing us to confirm the consolidation factor.
Our testing involved the following two solutions:
35 AMD Opteron 254-based HP ProLiant DL385 G1
servers with 4 GB of memory each and 18 HP
StorageWorks MSA30 storage (HP ProLiant DL385
solution)
5 Intel® Xeon® Processor X5570-based Dell
PowerEdge M610 blade servers with 72 GB of
memory, each using Hyper-V, and 5 arrays of Dell™
EqualLogic™ PS5000XV storage (Dell PowerEdge
M610 solution)
Our test case modeled a typical enterprise datacenter with 35 legacy HP ProLiant DL385 servers and 18 HP
StorageWorks MSA30 storage arrays—each approximately four years old—running high-demand database
workloads. The legacy servers each used 4 GB of memory. The enterprise in this test case seeks to consolidate

Figure 1: Five Intel Xeon Processor X5570-based Dell PowerEdge M610 solutions with Hyper-V allow you to consolidate 35 AMD
Opteron 254-based HP ProLiant DL385 solutions, with an initial investment payback period of just under 10 months and delivering
over 70 percent more throughput. We base this estimation on our specific database workload.
