Cons
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex.""It can have more automation. In addition, Fujitsu should have a broader portfolio, not specifically in terms of the service solutions, but more in terms of the big picture. A broader portfolio would be nice for providing different solutions for the customers."

More Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series Cons →

"The response time in terms of getting technical support assistance could be improved.""I would like to see the upgrade path a little bit smoother.""Some part of virtual connections needs improvement.""They should provide open learning materials and seminars for detailed knowledge of the product.""This product needs a wider range of firmware compatibility matrix from the oldest to the newest blade server.""The problem is that when want to expand with a new chassis, you have to do everything manually. It's not automatic.""The servers are a little bit huge, so it would be great if they could renew the size.""They could include some embedded software for container technology."

    Overview

    Managing large computing and storage requirements with limited resources, budgets and space is a challenge. The Fujitsu Server PRIMERGY BX400 helps to solve it. It is a fully-featured blade system built from the ground up as a user-friendly and versatile IT infrastructure. Up to eight server and storage blades are all packed into a surprisingly small enclosure that is as easy to install and manage as it is to use.

    HP ProLiant BladeSystem share power, cooling, network, and storage infrastructure via the blade enclosure. Since equipment is not needed for each server, you get a dramatic reduction in power distribution units, power cables, LAN and SAN switches, connectors, adapters, and cables. And you can add the newest-generation technologies by simply changing individual components.
