TEST REPORT
JANUARY 2009
KEY FINDINGS
The Dell PowerEdge T605 delivered an
average of 41 percent better performance
across the three workloads on Windows
Server 2008 than the HP ProLiant ML370 G5.
(See Figure 1.)
The Dell PowerEdge T605 produced a 59
percent higher performance-per-dollar result
across the three workloads on Windows
Server 2008 than the HP ProLiant ML370 G5.
(See Figure 2.)
The Dell PowerEdge T605 delivered 48
percent better performance per watt across
the three workloads on Windows Server 2008
than the HP ProLiant ML370 G5. (See Figure
3.)
Executive summary
Dell Inc. (Dell) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD)
commissioned Principled Technologies (PT) to measure
the performance of the following servers running Microsoft
Windows Server 2008:

We simultaneously ran workloads that exercised three of
the functions a typical small business server may have to
handle: W eb, email, and database services. We used
WebBench to simulate Web traffic, Microsoft Exchange
Load Generator (LoadGen) to simulate email activity, and
SysBench to simulate database activity. The W orkload
section provides more information on the benchmarks.
Figure 1 presents averaged results for the two servers
running the three workloads on W indows Server 2008 relative to the lower-performing server, the HP ProLiant
ML37
0 G5. For each benchmark, we assigned a value of 100 percent to that server’s results and then calculated
the percentage performance improvement of the Dell PowerEdge T605. This approach makes each data point a
comparative number, with higher numbers indicating better performance. Finally, we took the percentage
performance improvement over the HP ProLiant ML370 G5 for the three benchmarks and averaged them.
As Figure 1 illustrates, while running on W indows Server 2008, the Dell PowerEdge T605 delivered an average of
41 percent better
performance across the
three benchmarks than did
the HP ProLiant ML370 G5.
For each server, we took the
averaged relative
performance results in
Figure 1 and divided them by
the price. (See Appendix A.)
For ease of comparison, we
normalized those results to
those of the HP ProLiant
ML370 G5.
As Figure 2 illustrates, the
Dell PowerEdge T605
produced a 59 percent
higher performance-per-
dollar result across the three
workloads on Windows
Server 2008 than the HP
ProLiant ML370 G5.
