Dell PowerEdge:

Organizations that switch to new server technology must carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of investing in new infrastructure, including hardware, software, and the operating environment. Think about the performance improvements a data center would see with this new or updated gear and software. Organizations will benefit from the most recent security protection, system management tools, processing speed improvements, decreased downtime, and quicker results in addition to increased raw performance. A modernized infrastructure will also increase scalability to smoothly accommodate future growth and boost cluster performance per watt.

All of this suggests that modernizing your hardware, software, and operating system may enhance your data center’s overall performance. However, it can be difficult to align all three aspects at once because earlier choices might impede development.

Express Storage Architecture (ESA)-based vSAN 8.0 is an improved ReadyNode infrastructure offering from Dell, Intel, and VMware. Improved performance and efficiency are provided by this release to cater to the changing business needs of clients.

Customers who use Dell’s PowerEdge R760 server can take advantage of vSAN 8.0, but they must choose between upgrading to the new ESA ReadyNode architecture or staying with the current vSAN Original Storage Architecture (OSA) Ready Node. x86 servers that have been pre-configured, examined, and approved by Dell and VMware are known as vSAN ESA ReadyNodes. Every vSAN ESA ReadyNode is ideally configured with the necessary amount of CPU, memory, network IO, and storage NVMe devices for vSAN ESA or OSA. Dell has more than 250 configurations in total to meet all customer needs, raising the questions of which one to pick and how to migrate.
