Technical Research Report: Analyzing the Benefits of Windows Server® 2025 OEM Licensing and Dell™ PowerEdge™ R770 Servers
Bellevue, WA May 12, 2025 --( PR.com )-- A total cost of ownership (TCO) study conducted by Prowess Consulting reveals that the Windows Server® 2025 OEM license that comes preinstalled on Dell™ PowerEdge™ R770 servers delivers significant savings in both capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx) compared to a traditional volume-licensed, manually installed version.* Additional benefits of Windows Server 2025 include enhanced security capabilities, with multi-layered security rooted in hardware, in addition to hotpatching updates.
To investigate how Windows Server 2025 can help small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) address today's business and operational challenges, Prowess Consulting compared the benefits of Windows Server 2025 OEM licensing preinstalled on PowerEdge R770 servers to traditional, manually installed volume licensing. They also examined the new and enhanced capabilities of Windows Server 2025 versus Windows Server 2022.
The study's results indicate that the latest version of Windows Server with OEM licensing can help SMBs modernize infrastructure, significantly lower TCO, protect against cyber threats, and meet regulatory requirements.
'Standardizing server environments with Windows Server 2025 OEM licensing preinstalled on PowerEdge R770 servers can significantly lower TCO,' says Ben Fuller, Prowess Consulting Account Director. 'Compared to traditional volume licensing, OEM licensing costs less, streamlines software procurement, reduces manual intervention, accelerates server deployment, and significantly lowers CapEx and OpEx.'
Windows Server 2025 installed on PowerEdge R770 servers enables SMBs to adopt a zero-trust security model rooted in hardware. Multi-layered, hardware-enforced, and automated security features like hotpatching enhance an organization's security strategy without requiring specialized expertise. Other future-ready enhancements help boost AI and machine learning (ML) performance, scale infrastructure from edge to cloud, improve operational efficiency, and streamline DevOps. Particularly of benefit for organizations with limited IT resources is the OEM licensing's technical support package, which is superior to that of traditional licensing.

No Pipeline, No Progress: Meeting The Demand For Advanced Degrees
As demand for master's and doctoral degrees surges, too few programs exist to support the students most often excluded—despite their potential. The United States stands at a crossroads. While innovation, competitiveness, and global leadership increasingly depend on highly educated workers, access to graduate education remains deeply unequal and underfunded. Over 60% of business and government leaders hold graduate degrees—with more than half in business and nearly a third in law. A 2020 report by Brint and colleagues found that 61% of top media figures and 78% of think tank and foundation leaders also held advanced degrees. In many leadership roles, graduate education is no longer a competitive advantage—it's a requirement. Demand is rising. A 2024 report from Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce projects that nearly 1 in 5 jobs will soon require an advanced degree. Among 'good jobs'—those offering middle-class wages of $43,000 or more—1 in 4 will demand graduate credentials. Yet access to graduate education remains deeply inequitable. Madeline Brighouse Glueck finds that parental education still shapes graduate enrollment, especially in high-investment, high-return programs like law, medicine, and PhDs. In medicine alone, over 75% of students come from the top two income quintiles. Even academically qualified first-generation and low-income students are often left behind. While families with financial and social capital can navigate elite admissions and cover soaring costs, others are shut out. The only federally funded graduate pipeline program is the McNair Scholars Program, which supports first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented undergraduates seeking PhDs. This program—and others like Upward Bound—are now at risk of being defunded. As the federal government grows increasingly hostile toward identity-based programs in higher education, the burden of promoting equitable access is falling to the private sector and nonprofit organizations. Yet only a handful of national nonprofits directly focus on this issue: These organizations are doing powerful work—but their combined reach can only serve a fraction of the students who deserve access. To meet the moment, coordinated investments are needed—not just in graduate preparation, but also in affordability, mentorship, and long-term support: Graduate education is not a luxury—it is a national imperative. If we want to lead in science, health, law, and business—and if we believe in opportunity—we must invest in the people who will lead those fields. Let's ensure that talent, not zip code or family background, determines who has a seat at the table. Change can't wait. The time to invest is now. —--------- Help us widen the pipeline.

The Cheapest Pickup Trucks You Can Buy in 2025 Aren't All Small
Almost across the board, pickup truck prices are creeping upward. Most of this is due to inflation (and more recently, tariffs), but formerly cheap trucks like the new generation Toyota Tacoma are going somewhat upmarket, while the price creep affecting the cheapest pickups like the Ford Maverick appears to be due to automakers capitalizing on unexpected success and, again, more recently, responding to tariffs. (The Maverick, like some other trucks on this list, is assembled outside of the U.S., which raises price pressure compared to home built options.) For now, the cheapest work trucks you can buy can still be had for under $40,000, but you don't need us to tell you that the versions of the most common full-size trucks most consumers buy are in the $50,000 to $60,000 range. Of course, the base price isn't the only metric by which to measure a truck, but it's an important one. If you want to explore other ways pickup trucks stack up against each other, MotorTrend 's proprietary algorithm provides the ultimate source of automotive data by combining over 75 years of our own instrumented performance, comfort, and efficiency testing on more than 5,000 vehicles. That data is fused with decades of expertise from former heads of design, engineering, and our own car buying experience experts. Built by statisticians and honed by automotive experts, MotorTrend 's Ultimate Car Rankings will assist in finding your perfect vehicle. But, you came here for cheap trucks, and here they are, the cheapest trucks you can buy in 2025:
