Get better k-means analytics workload performance for your money with the Dell EMC PowerEdge R7525

At Principled Technologies, we wanted to gauge the level of big data analytics performance we could get out of servers that cost roughly $40,000 each. To that end, we tested two current-generation, dual-socket servers: a Dell EMC™ PowerEdge™ R7525 powered by AMD EPYC™ 7502 processors, and an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 powered by Intel® Xeon® Gold 6240 processors. The Dell EMC server cost $38,482.50, while the HPE server cost $39,846.00 (a difference of just three percent).
