Migrating to new server technology requires organizations to carefully consider the costs and benefits when investing in new infrastructure, including hardware, software, and operating environments. Imagine the performance gains in a data center that uses this new or upgraded hardware and software. Along with significant performance gains, organizations will gain the latest security features, systems management capabilities, faster processing speeds, reduced downtime, and faster results. In addition, the upgraded infrastructure will increase scalability, enabling future growth without major disruptions, and will increase cluster performance per watt.

All of this points to how upgrading your hardware, software, and operating environment can improve the overall performance of your data center. However, aligning all three elements simultaneously is a challenge, as past decisions can hinder progress.

Dell, Intel and VMware are introducing an updated ReadyNode infrastructure solution called vSAN 8.0 with Express Storage Architecture (ESA). This release delivers increased performance and efficiency to meet customers’ evolving business needs. Customers using the Dell PowerEdge R760 server can take advantage of vSAN 8.0, but must choose between an existing vSAN Original Storage Architecture (OSA) Ready Node or an upgrade to the new ESA ReadyNode architecture. vSAN ESA ReadyNodes are x86 servers that are preconfigured, tested and certified by Dell and VMware. Each vSAN ESA ReadyNode is optimally configured for vSAN ESA or OSA with the required amount of CPU, memory, network I/O and NVMe storage. In total, Dell offers more than 250 configurations to meet any customer requirement, so the question is: which one to choose and how to migrate?

Intel engineers, supported by Dell engineers, tested multiple vSAN offerings to gain a full understanding of performance and usage scenario characteristics. The tests were conducted in Intel and Dell performance labs between November 2022 and March 2023 using Solidigm NVMe drives. The ultimate goal was to identify performance improvements in vSAN 8.0 ESA compared to the previous vSAN 7.0U3 OSA architecture across multiple generations of different hardware offerings. The tests resulted in more than 6x performance improvements and 4.9x lower latency using the latest generation of Dell servers and 4th Gen Intel Xeon processors with higher PCIe bandwidth and enhanced networking capabilities.

Because the vSAN 8 ESA storage platform has more specific hardware requirements than OSA, most customers will migrate to ESA for each cluster using a new vSAN installation running on vSAN ReadyNodes certified for use with ESA. Moving from OSA to ESA is a one-time migration that occurs for each cluster. Each step requires careful consideration of factors such as hardware replacement, data migration, performance gains, and available capacity in other clusters.

Ultimately, the primary responsibility of IT teams is to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), reduce downtime, and increase performance and scalability by optimizing infrastructure. As technology continues to evolve, engineers at Dell, Intel, and VMware are focused on optimizing new solutions to deliver greater value to customers. Implementing new technologies into legacy environments can compromise, and sometimes even negate, that value.

Combining Dell PowerEdge servers with 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors and the latest VMware/vSAN ReadyNodes hypervisor can significantly improve performance, reduce latency, and provide more timely business intelligence. With storage devices representing a significant portion of the total cost of ownership, reconfiguring existing equipment to optimize vSAN8.0 ESA capabilities requires a significant capital investment. However, servers will still not be able to deliver peak performance due to the performance degradation of legacy NVMe and servers. In addition, this approach significantly increases the burden on existing IT staff.
