Serve more customers with

the Dell EMC PowerEdge R740

and 2nd Generation Intel Xeon

Scalable processors

The 2U, two-socket PowerEdge R740 delivered

more transactions per minute than an older HPE

ProLiant DL380 Gen9

Holding on to data center hardware for too long can put your

business at a disadvantage, burdening your IT admins with many

aging servers that begin to need extra maintenance, all while

performing at a level far below their modern counterparts, making

inefcient use of data center space.

By upgrading to the Dell EMC

PowerEdge

™

R740 rack server with

2nd Generation Intel

Xeon

Scalable processors, your business

could consolidate multiple older servers and take advantage of

signicant performance and management benets. In fact, in the PT

data center, we found that the Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 handled

over 2.6 times the workload transactions against an Oracle Database

using the TPC-C-like benchmark from HammerDB compared to a

four-year-old HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9.

Moving to a Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 platform with 2nd Generation

Intel Xeon Scalable processors can free your business from the

burdens of outdated hardware, setting you up for what comes next.
