Performance Advantage of Dell PowerEdge R900 over HP DL585 Running Microsoft Hyper-V

Tags:
processors

Overview Information Technology organizations are finding that combining today's industry standard servers based on multi-core processors with server virtualization can create highly efficient solutions. A series of tests were run comparing a DellÂ™ PowerEdgeÂ™ R900 server using new Intel six-core processors against previous generation quad-core processor servers. Microsoft Windows Server 2008's server virtualization technology Hyper-V was used as the basis with many Virtual Machines running on each of the servers tested. The results of these tests showed that the Dell PowerEdge with Intel six-core processors was able to outperform quad-core processor based servers, with increased performance per watt efficiency.

Harnessing the Power of Location Intelligence in the Public Sector

Throughout the world, public services today are under pressure. The current economic climate, where taxreceipts are naturally suppressed, provides very seriousfunding challenges.
