If you’ve been buying servers and software separately, now is the time to change.
Through testing and research, Prowess Consulting have demonstrated that there is a simpler, faster, and less expensive alternative to help IT generalists deploy and support new servers.
With Dell PowerEdge and Microsoft Windows Server 2019 preinstalled (Standard or Datacenter licenses), you’ll be able to save a considerable amount of time and money whilst also getting the right hardware and software support to help you along the way.
Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd Servers with Preinstalled Software offer:
faster to deploy to a server
fewer steps to deploy a server
less expensive licencing
source for hardware and software support
Beyond these advantages, the server with OEM licensing also gives you a clean, consistent installation of the operating system that reduces the possibility of human error.
With Windows Server 2019 preinstalled – 4 minutes 17 seconds and just 6 steps
Without Windows Server 2019 preinstalled – 31 minutes 14 seconds and 46 steps
Prowess also compared the costs of the OEM licensing versus the volume licensing. They found that, on a Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd, OEM licensing saves more than $206 US dollars (£163.69) per server for Windows Server 2019 Standard and more than $1,926 USD (£1,530.40) per server for Windows Server 2019 Datacentre.
