The Dell™ PowerEdge™ R810 server with the latest Intel® Xeon® 6500 and 7500 Series family of processors, with up to 512 GB of RAM, delivers high levels of productivity and performance. It is ideal for green IT initiatives such as data center consolidation, and power and cooling reduction.
Virtualization enables operating systems and applications to be decoupled from physical hardware. With computing power and high-memory capacity, the PowerEdge R810 provides a platform where multiple virtual machines can operate in parallel. Dell EqualLogic™ Internet SCSI (iSCSI) storage area network (SAN) provides another layer of virtualization at the storage layer that enables ease of administration, performance and scalability.

This white paper showcases how organizations can benefit significantly by moving from legacy 2-socket servers (Dell PowerEdge 2850 2-socket server) to new Dell PowerEdge 11th generation 4/2-socket servers (Dell PowerEdge R810 4/2-socket server). It further describes the reference architecture for designing and implementing a virtual infrastructure running database workloads and the performance gains achieved.
