Dell PowerEdge R is an Economical and Stable Server!
- From the perspective of physical server consolidations, when servers spread across multiple branch and remote offices are gathered into a central data center, this simplification process provides ROI in several ways. One, the configuration control, restriction of server access.
- Reduce complexity and enable greater standardization of hardware purchases, which lowers costs.
- Increased security of the move are important.
- The costs of moves, add-ins, and changes are reduced, as well as the costs of travel time and maintenance.
- Migrating legacy operating systems to a newer version via rehosting brings similar ROI benefits when it comes to server consolidation.

Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers
- Postive ROI - our servers save us money every day in terms of ease of management, power, and flexibility.
- Positive impact -- our entire company software infrastructure runs on these servers. They have paid for themselves over and over in the years we have had them.
- Positive ROI -- they are still running and still running VERY WELL.
- Negative ROI -- I'd say it took the full payoff period before we saw any ROI at all. The initial outlay was rather extensive, not only to buy the hardware, but to have the IT people install and configure it.
