Key Findings
> TCO – In addition to reduced hardware costs for single-socket servers, VMware vSphere and vSAN licensing costs are $7610 lower for single-socket servers, per node.
> The vSAN mixed workloads achieved comparable throughput performance results of approximately 400 MB/s using only single-socket AMD EPYC systems as compared to the previous generation dual-socket Dell EMC PowerEdge R730 systems.
> For the vSAN DVD Store 2 results the single-socket 24-core and 32-core AMD processors achieved 78% of current generation traditional dual-socket systems for max operations per minute (OPM).
