More users are able to access the existing hardware providing a lower cost per user
*Based on Dell Lab testing of a 3-node OLTP cluster running Microsoft SQL Server database on VMware software with Dell Fluid Cache for SAN vs. the same
configuration without Dell Fluid Cache for SAN, where the configuration with Dell Fluid Cache for SAN resulted in 6900 concurrent users at one second and costs
$252,063 USD, or $36.53 USD per user, at the one second measurement, and the configuration without Dell Fluid Cache for SAN resulted in 2700 concurrent users at
one second and costs $225,965 USD, or $83.69 USD per user, at the one second measurement. List prices dated March 2014.

Dell Fluid Cache for SAN can provide cost per user reductions with performance
gains
*Based on Dell Lab testing of a 3 node OLTP cluster on an Oracle database with Dell Fluid Cache for SAN vs. the same configuration without Dell Fluid Cache for SAN, where
the configuration with Dell Fluid Cache for SAN resulted in 1900 concurrent users at one second and costs $360,191 USD, or $189.57 USD per user, at the one second
measurement, and the configuration without Dell Fluid Cache for SAN resulted in 500 concurrent users at one second and costs $331,696 USD, or $663.39 USD per user, at the
one second measurement. List prices dated March 2014.
