Supports flexible hosting needs through seamless upgradability and strong monitoring capabilities
The most valuable features of Dell PowerEdge R-Series for me are the feature richness and the upgradability. I really love the way that it is so dynamically applicable for every situation, and they manage to have an all-in-one solution for every single situation. Dell PowerEdge has supported the growth and operational success of my company through its great compute power and price-to-performance ratio. Every time Dell is at the top of its game for us, and there is just no other brand for us that is able to reach that kind of price-to-performance ratio. Dell PowerEdge R-Series has features that specifically cater to the needs of my small company, such as iDRAC. The iDRAC system is a complete feature set for managing servers and hardware technically and monitoring-wise. It really fits in our system and our ecosystem, and monitoring-wise, it is excellent. They have all these sensors available via different protocols and end points, which I love, and the ability to manage and control everything via the iDRAC interface is just a welcome bonus. In our use case, Dell PowerEdge R-Series is very flexible. It is another computer which helps a lot because of the durability over time. They keep running, making scalability for getting more of those resources in our environment so easy.

Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems
I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our entire infrastructure runs on Dell PowerEdge R-Series."
"PowerEdge hasn't let us down in any situation."
"Dell's professional services as great, as they're very helpful and also do cross-training with us."
"Primarily, what we value most is the stability of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers."
"The robustness of the hardware itself is valuable. We have had PowerEdge servers running even after they were out of their warranty timeline. For example, about four or five years ago, we updated the virtualization platform. One of the servers that we had on that platform was ten years old. These servers have a lot of durability. You can see that they are well-made."
"Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers scale with the growing needs of my company."
"Ease of use."
"The biggest benefit my company gets from having Dell PowerEdge R-Series is that they work as we expect and deliver the performance that we expect."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"Improvement is always necessary for Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers so that people don't take it for granted. It keeps everyone on their toes to continue improving."
"Dell PowerEdge R-Series could be improved in the area of the connection with the OpenManage Mobile App, as it hangs a bit sometimes."
"Dell PowerEdge R-Series can be improved on the cost if they can lower the price, and of course, more security."
"The solution could still use some more analytics."
"For products that are not part of the premium support package, it is a bit more tedious."
"For the internal SD card of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers, I would add driver packs so that when you're trying to image bare metal, you don't have to worry about trying to find all the drivers you need to install whatever OS it could be, specifically in our environments in the fed space, since trying to use USB devices is difficult, so adding things on the USB stick and plugging them in for drivers is most of the time not possible."
"Configuring the Dell was a bit more complicated than just using the HP since the HP was really straightforward about everything."
"The limited connectivity of the Rack Servers, due to having only three USB ports, is an area of improvement for Dell."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are affordable. Even during our recent procurement, the cost of Dell servers was lower than that of HPE."
"We would prefer it if the pricing were for half the cost. We have been expanding our company, and my boss stated that we must save money."
"The pricing for this solution is reasonable. We pay a basic premium with a military premium on top of that."
"The pricing is very competitive."
"I know the pricing for Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers went up last year, and we weren't too happy about that, but it is what it is."
"We have a contract with the OEM of the equipment for licenses, so we possess all OEM licenses for the Dell software. We have licenses for Linux and VMware software, with a special price and an annual contract for updates of Linux and VMware. Additionally, we have an Oracle database on the Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers."
"I wouldn't say the solution's pricing is the best, but it's very competitive."
"Compared to other vendors, the prices are much lower."
