Migrating to a Dell PowerEdge R515 server from two legacy database servers

number of servers decreases, support costs are also likely to

decrease.

 Power and cooling savings. Consolidating servers saves power

and cooling by using fewer, more efficient systems.

Sizing and baseline performance

One key to a successful consolidation is sizing, the process of

gathering different performance baselines so you have an

approximate set of requirements the new hardware platform must

meet. You do this by determining the performance characteristics of

existing hardware during normal business operations, and then

applying growth and scalability estimates.

Among the potential characteristics to examine on each server are

the following:

 Processor utilization

 Typical and heavy load memory requirements of the operating

system and applications

 Disk layout

 Database size

 Expected database growth

 Maximum concurrent users

 Types and rates of transactions against the databases

The server you select for consolidation must do more than match the

combined capacity of your current servers. It also must have enough

excess capacity to still perform well at the end of its expected life

span.

The Dell PowerEdge R515 we tested for this Guide is a high-

performance server focused on the small to medium business market

segment that can readily support significant consolidation. It has two

AMD Opteron 4100 Series processors, can support up to 64 GB

The Dell PowerEdge R515 will support 128 GB of RAM by the end of 2010.
