We use PowerEdge C for microcredit service, application servers, database servers, and report servers.
The solution provides good support and service. PowerEdge C has a dual socket on the server.
The solution’s pricing could be cheaper.
I have been using PowerEdge C for eight years.
I rate the solution an eight out of ten for stability.
The solution provides good scalability and performance. We have around 1,000 customers for PowerEdge C.
The solution’s technical support is very good. Once, our server's motherboard was not responding, and Dell replaced the motherboard within ten days.
The solution’s initial setup is very easy.
It took around two to three days for me to deploy the solution.
I would recommend PowerEdge C to other users because it is stable and reliable.
Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.
Before we deploy any solution for our customers we always keep in mind the requirements and select the features that are in line with VMware’s technology. For example we have chosen a Dell solution based on one customer specific needs and budget. This involves collaborating with Dell and VMware in order to get all the necessary licence. At the same time, we have also opted for the PowerEdge blade series which helps us in consolidating workloads and maximising output power. Our main use is to select solutions that fit the requirements of the customers while ensuring full support from Dell and maintaining confidentiality.
We have realised that instead of purchasing multiple servers with fewer cores, opting for higher series with more cores is a viable option that has been held to reduce the footprint in our data centre. This has also helped in generating green data centres and requires less cooling and maintenance.
The PowerEdge series has a powerful feature for remote server management called the iDRAC feature.
With the tool, we can easily upgrade and ensure compatibility between operating systems, hardwares and drivers. Among other features, the hardware also stands out because it is certified and aligns with the processor manufacturers like Intel. This enables them to offer the latest options which are not available with other suppliers.
There has been an increase in quality issues.
I have been using PowerEdge C for the past 3 years.
It is indeed, very stable.
It is satisfactory for our users and we don’t have any issues in scaling the same.
Deployment of the solution typically takes one day for physical setup and connection without virtualization. For more complex setups like the DXL stack, it may take around 3-4 hours to bring everything online. I would rate it 9 out of 10, as it is very simple to set up.
I would rate the pricing a 4 out of 10.
Overall, I would rate the solution 8 out of 10. I would recommend it but it is not free. We have been using it as a part of our proposals and promotions for all the customers.
