v490 vs M4000



Hi,

Can anyone provide me with a real-world comparison of the old v490 vs the new
M4000s?

We've got a choice of upgrading 4 v490s to 64Gb RAM cost approx $100K vs
buying some new M4000s, cost somewhere between $150-200K.

Searches on benchmarks indicate performance improvements on the new
architecture produce results indicating anywhere between 0 and 25%.

Based purely on clock speeds we might expect 25% but as always, clock speed
isn't that much of an indicator.

Workload is multi-tiered mixture of java and a well known database though not
one owned by Larry.
If anyone has any pointers which suggest buy new or keep the old I'd
appreciate them.

At present, service contracts etc are outside the scope of the discussion.


TIA

Joe
