BLADE SOLUTION COMPARISON: AMD-BASED DELL POWEREDGE M915 WITH MICROSOFT
WINDOWS SERVER 2012 VS. INTEL-BASED HP PROLIANT BL660C GEN8 WITH VMWARE VSPHERE
The benefits of blade servers are clear: the denser form factor allows
organizations to expand the processing power available in their datacenters without
adding extra physical space. But when you choose blades to add to your infrastructure,
you must look further than the performance they deliver. How much will it cost for each
VM that you wish to deploy? And operating costs add up, so how power-efficient will
the overall solution be?
In our labs at Principled Technologies, we tested two blade solutions with
hardware and hypervisor software from different vendors: the AMD Opteron processor
Model 6380-powered Dell PowerEdge M915 with Microsoft Windows Server 2012
Hyper-V™ and the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2640-based HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8
running VMware vSphere 5.1 ESXi. We found that both solutions were able to support
16 VMs running heavy database workloads while processing an average of at least
30,000 orders per minute (OPM) per VM. While both solutions achieved this
performance, the AMD-powered Dell PowerEdge M915 solution did so while using 26.1
less power, and at a 27.5 percent lower cost per VM.
As our results show, choosing a blade solution based on the AMD Opteron 6300
Series processor-based Dell PowerEdge M915 with Hyper-V has the potential to save
you money both on your initial purchase and on operating costs such as power and
cooling.
