COMPARING PERFORMANCE AND COST: DELL POWEREDGE
VRTX VS. A LEGACY HARDWARE ENVIRONMENT
As your business grows, your server hardware must meet the increasing needs
of users. Running a typical remote or branch office workload consisting of email,
database, and file and print workloads on existing hardware may seem like the cheapest
solution, but may end up costing more through downtime and lost productivity.
Additionally, the aging hardware may simply not be able to keep up.
Choosing the Dell PowerEdge VRTX for your business gives you the
performance, scalability, and high availability your business needs to keep running and
meeting increased demand. In the Principled Technologies Labs, we simultaneously ran
email, database, and simulated file and print workloads in a VMware® vSphere® ESXi
virtual environment on the VRTX. We found that it performed better in all three
workloads, while requiring less space and power, and provided a lower 5-year TCO when
compared with a legacy, disparate hardware solution. Combining servers, networking,
and shared storage into an all-in-one solution, the Dell PowerEdge VRTX can deliver big
performance and savings.
