Businesses that replace groups of older servers running Oracle Database workloads with new Dell PowerEdge R7725 servers and AMD EPYC 9175F processors could see faster data analytics performance and serious TCO savings—up to $2.1M over five years in one scenario. Here’s how we proved it:
Every day, most of us interact with enterprise-level applications at some level. Whether we’re checking our bank balance, scheduling a prescription refill, or completing any number of other app-based tasks that are indispensable for modern life, we’re ultimately relying on the speed and availability of the relational databases that fuel those apps. For businesses that support data-dependent apps, high-performance server hardware is critical for both app reliability and the back-end analytics insights they need to efficiently allocate resources.
New server infrastructure can unlock the capacity to do more database analytics work with fewer systems, allowing administrators to consolidate multiple legacy servers onto a smaller number of newer, more efficient systems. By doing as much or more work with fewer servers, organizations could realize significant cost savings in licensing, data center space, power and cooling, and maintenance.
We compared the Oracle Database analytics performance of a new Dell PowerEdge R7725 server powered by 5th Generation AMD EPYC 9175F processors to that of a five-year-old HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server with Intel Xeon Gold 6242 processors. In our tests, the PowerEdge R7725 supported roughly three times the work as the ProLiant DL380 while delivering 23 percent faster data analysis speeds in a one-to-one comparison. We used those results to model a consolidation scenario in which a business replaced three legacy HP servers with one Dell PowerEdge R7725. Over a 5-year period, we estimated that the consolidation we modeled could save as much as $2.1M in TCO—a savings of 64 percent. Those levels of savings could free up funds for other vital projects, making the decision to refresh to modern server infrastructure a smart investment.
