We've been using my PVC project as the basis for our on-premises customer deployments for almost 3 years now, and our customers are not buying used hardware. Instead, they're buying brand-new, top-of-the-line Dell systems featuring modern AMD Epyc CPUs and NVMe SSDs. I wanted to get performance numbers from one of these systems to determine if the conclusions from part 2 continue to hold even with this much more performant, newer hardware. +Parts 1 and 2 used my own home server setup, based on Dell R430 servers using Broadwell-era Intel Xeon CPUs, for analysis. But being my homelab, I'm quite limited in what hardware I have access to: namely, I'm using several-generations-old hardware and SATA SSDs, so despite having some very interesting results, they are very limited by the hardware. So I wanted to get results with more modern hardware (new CPUs and NVMe SSDs). Luckily, I was able to test on just such a cluster thanks to my employer deploying my PVC solution to our customers using brand-new hardware. Like my home cluster, these clusters use 3 nodes, with the following specifications:
