Three ways Windows Server 2025 creates more value from every server refresh

22/09/2026

Every server refresh represents an opportunity to deliver more than new hardware. By positioning Windows Server 2025 preinstalled on Dell PowerEdge, partners can help customers reduce deployment complexity and cut costs while creating opportunities for larger modernisation conversations.

Deliver immediate value and support your customers’ long-term infrastructure planning.

1. Help customers modernise faster

Customers want to modernise without lengthy deployment projects or unnecessary complexity. Windows Server 2025 on Dell PowerEdge helps streamline deployment, enabling customers to

  • Deploy up to 62% faster
  • With 71 fewer manual steps

Combined with Dell's integrated deployment experience, customers can begin realising value sooner with less disruption.

For partners, that means every server refresh becomes a chance to demonstrate faster time to value—not simply newer hardware.

2. Build a stronger business case

Infrastructure decisions are increasingly driven by operational efficiency as much as technical performance.

Windows Server 2025 helps customers

  • Lower licensing costs by up to 40%
  • Reduce disruption with Hotpatching, allowing updates to be applied without planned downtime. 

These benefits give partners practical ways to discuss total cost of ownership and long-term business value during every refresh conversation.

3. Open the door to future modernisation

A server refresh often becomes the first step in a much larger transformation.

Windows Server 2025 creates a cloud-ready foundation that supports hybrid infrastructure, Azure integration, virtualisation and future AI workloads.

By introducing these broader use cases early, partners can expand refresh projects into larger strategic engagements that extend well beyond the initial server purchase.

Every refresh is an opportunity

Don’t forget to ask ‘What OS will you be running on this server.’

With Windows Server 2025 preinstalled on Dell PowerEdge, you can create more valuable customer conversations, increase the value of every server sale and make life easier for your customers.
