Performance and TCO: Dell PowerEdge R820 vs.
HP ProLiant DL585 G7
Dell PowerEdge R820 solution

Power usage per server (watts-active)
Power usage per server (watts-idle)
Figure 11: Power utilization numbers, in watts, for each solution. Lower numbers are better.
We estimate energy costs using active power for that percentage of time and the idle power measurement
for the remaining time. We assume a power rate of 9.88 cents per KWH.
Figure 12 shows our estimate of energy costs for power and cooling for the two solutions each year.

Administrative costs
We assume one FTE administrator can manage 44 servers. We estimate a burdened administrator salary of
$102,411.35 based on an administrator salary of $72,200 and a burden rate of 44.04 percent.
