Keep remote desktop power users productive with Dell EMC PowerEdge R840 servers powered by 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors


When the Dell EMC™ PowerEdge™ R840 launched in 2018, we found that companies could “Get more power for your CPU-intensive workloads” with this 2U four-socket rack server.”1 Now, it presents an opportunity for you to support more power users, speed desktop responsiveness, and grow your employee base without worrying about pandemic-induced supply chain problems.

In the Principled Technologies data center, we deployed a VMware Horizon® 8 virtual desktop infrastructure) (VDI) environment on a single-node Dell EMC PowerEdge R840 powered by four 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and onboard storage. Then, we captured VDI performance using a VMware View Planner workload to assess the performance of the virtual desktop sessions using VMware’s QoS (Quality of Service) metrics.
