Maybe this a naive question.
I could buy:
This server will be used as a basis for Virtualization, so at the end I will need to add more RAM and more storage (yet to decide if going to all flash route or making some multi-tier structure).
I could buy:
- a new DELL 7425 with 2x7301 EPYC (2.2GHz base clock) and 64 GB of RAM with 24x2,5" chassis and 1 SSD 480GB at 2708 Euro, or
- a new DELL 7515 with 1x7502P EPYC (2.5 GHz base clock) and 64 GB of RAM with 24x2,5" chassis and 1 SSD 480GB at 4368 Euro (about 1660 more than solution 1)
- a new DELL 7515 with 1x7502P EPYC (2.5 GHz base clock) and 16 GB of RAM with 24x2,5" chassis and 1 SSD 480GB at 3493 Euro, then add my own 3x16 ram at 110 Euro, in this case the total will be 3823 (about 1115 Euro more than solution 1)
