Report Reveals Business Benefits of Upgrading Applications with Server Memory
[23 June 2005] A recent report, commissioned by Kingston Technology, has revealed tangible business
benefits of increasing memory in server systems. The testing, undertaken by VeriTest, proved that additional memory
significantly boosts application performance, helping web servers perform at optimum levels and enabling an extra data
workload to be handled and transmitted.
These results go against a general belief that server systems become obsolete with the introduction of new applications,
hardware technology or an increase in the usage demand. Replacing whole systems proves costly both in terms of the
environment and in the budgets of businesses. Simply upgrading systems with additional memory has been proved to be a
cost effective and viable solution for businesses to implement.
VeriTest provided the independent testing environment that was needed to ensure that an unbiased viewpoint was reached,
with all benchmarks designed to test ‘real-world’ usage using two separate server systems. One from Dell, a dual processor
PowerEdge 4400 with 512MB, 1GB and 4GB system memory test configurations, and one from HP, a quad processor DL380 with 1GB,
2GB and 6GB system memory test configurations. Veritests benchmarking allowed Kingston Technology to demonstrate that memory
should always be the first upgrade applied to any server as it has the largest effect on performance compared with other
upgrades such as, additional processors or increased disk storage.
“The tests explicitly proved that additional memory significantly boosts application performance” confirmed Jim Selby,
Product Marketing Manager EMEA Kingston Technology: “The Dell results showed that whilst using the 512MB configuration
an average of 357.2 requests were dealt with per second, boosting this up to 4GB reported an average of 9,844.1 requests
per second, an increase of 2,657% over 512MB”.
“In most cases there is no need to replace a whole system or add new processors or increase disk space, until additional
memory has been installed. No other upgrade could have such a marked effect on performance, as all data, regardless of
its source or destination, will move through the system memory at some point during the processing cycle.” Selby concluded.
