Principled Technologies Finds That a Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd Solution

with Toshiba PX05S SAS SSDs and VMware vSAN Boosted Database
Performance

In the Principled Technologies (PT) datacenter, PT found that a newer Toshiba-Dell EMC solution
with vSAN handled more user activity, offered faster response times, and supported more virtual
machines than a legacy vSAN solution.

Durham, NC, June 13, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Running databases on legacy servers with outdated drives can
slow a business down, especially during times of peak traffic. A newer Dell EMC server cluster based on
VMware vSAN and configured with Toshiba PX05S solid-state drives (SSDs) could increase the number
of orders processed per minute, deliver faster response times, and support more virtual machines (VMs)
than a legacy vSAN cluster, helping businesses more effectively meet customer demand.

In hands-on testing, PT ran a transactional database workload on a Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd cluster
using VMware vSAN and Toshiba PX05S SAS SSDs, as well as a legacy PowerEdge R730 vSAN cluster
configured with hard disk drives (HDDs) and SATA SSDs. According to the report, “a PowerEdge
R740xd server configured with Toshiba PX05S SAS SSDs and VMware vSAN supported 33 percent
more VMs than the legacy solution. This greater capacity translated into 80 percent more orders per
minute (OPM) compared to the legacy solution.” The newer solution with Toshiba SSDs also offered
lower write and read response times. With improved transactional database performance, the new
Toshiba-Dell EMC solution could help organizations support a growing customer base and set themselves
up for long-term success.

solution with Toshiba PX05S SAS SSDs and VMware vSAN, read the full report at
