Conclusion

Accommodating rapidly growing workloads, satisfying user demands for faster response times, and maintaining or

gaining competitive advantage are crucial objectives for IT decision makers. The PowerEdge R740 2-socket rack server

can assist with each of these goals by driving significantly higher performance compared to installed systems. The

R740 configured with 2

Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors can deliver up to 2.6 times the OLTP performance

of an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen 9. This superior performance, along with the latest systems management capabilities

and the potential for server consolidation, can bring significant benefits to IT organizations and the businesses that they

support.

Proactive HA and OMIVV enable policy-driven preventive action in case an issue in the underlying hardware layer is detected.

Via the policy settings, automated actions can be taken to move VMs off an affected host or prevent any new VMs to be started

there.
