Has supported future scalability with seamless deployment
In terms of potential room for improvement regarding Dell PowerEdge M, I would want to see something such as dense nodes and additional storage, as well as multiple network connectivity on the blades. The functions that I would want to see from Dell are not limited to just what I mentioned, but currently, I feel no additional features are needed. I suggest adding an additional network card within the blades, specifically for connectivity.

Pricing is very high. It should be less. In comparison to other brands like Dell or Cisco, I think HPE is not CTS. HPE should not be CTS. It should be less than Cisco and IBM. IBM has higher costs. Compared to Dell and Cisco, it is costly, and some management software is also expensive.

"Dell PowerEdge M lacks GPU nodes and doesn't have a direct solution for GPUs."
