payback period of less than 12 months and a 3-year return on
investment (ROI) of 224 percent.
New Dell technology makes major savings easy
The new Dell PowerEdge R810 features the latest Intel Xeon
Processor 7500 series. It allows organizations to consolidate
unprecedented numbers of SQL server databases on to a single
server, resulting in significant savings.
Features of the new Dell PowerEdge R810
The Dell PowerEdge R810 offers many new features for maximizing
performance on database and other applications and for minimizing
operational expenses, including the following:
Power. The Dell PowerEdge R810 includes enhancements that let
it use less energy than many older servers. When you consolidate
many legacy servers onto a single Dell PowerEdge R810, the
potential power savings are dramatic.
Processors. The Dell PowerEdge R810 uses the Intel Xeon
Processor 7500 series. These processors automatically adjust their
speed and energy usage to meet the requirements of your
applications, improving performance and saving power. Combined
with support for ever-increasing amounts of memory, this makes
the Dell PowerEdge R810 an excellent database consolidation
platform.
Management. The Dell PowerEdge R810, like all late-model Dell
servers, comes with the Dell Lifecycle Controller. This tool
simplifies management by providing a single interface for
management functions and by storing critical system information in
the system itself. There are no CDs or USB keys to keep track of
for drivers or firmware.
Features of the new Intel Xeon Processor 7500 series
The new Intel Xeon Processor 7500 series offer businesses a
number of advantages:
Larger cache. The new Intel Xeon Processor 7500 series contains
24 MB of shared L3 cache, increasing the previous-generations
processors’ cache amounts by a significant margin. More L3 cache
means faster processing, and better database performance.
Greater scaling power. The newest generation of Intel
processors brings 8 processing cores to each chip, along with
hyper-threading, totaling 16 logical processors per physical
processor. The larger number of logical processors, coupled with
the expansion from two-socket (2S) to 4S platforms, elevates the
