Robust product, helped with workload management and offers remote configuration
In this specific model, it could be beneficial to have a server configuration similar to Cisco, like the kind offered in HPE Superdome Flex X280. The ability to separate the chassis is important because we are forced to use two chassis even with lower loads. So introducing more flexibility in the Superdome environment would be helpful. One other problem is energy consumption. We are forced to use both chassis even when we only need, for example, all four processors. It's not always used at full capacity every day. When underutilized, we still need to have both chassis powered, which creates an energy consumption issue. While the machine can be configured to reduce consumption, the idea of having different possible configurations with varying chassis usage, similar to the Flex version, could be interesting for this model, too. This model leverages specific features of the Intel MAP board, so switching like in the Flex might be difficult due to the motherboard switching involved.

Pros

"We installed Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series for a high PC solution, and for this reason, some Microsoft licenses and other special licenses were embedded or bundled to the Fujitsu solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"It is a very practical solution because you have all the servers in a minimal space."
"It is a very practical solution because you have all the servers in a minimal space."
"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"CPU and memory, it's just pretty good and helps us to support the students and the teachers of the school."
"I would tell you that if you are looking for a product that can be used by multiple groups especially multiple groups with one point of administration, Superdome is very good."
"If you're looking for a solution where you need a lot of workload and power, it's a great solution."
"HPE Superdome X is a very resilient infrastructure, and stable."
"We like the flexibility with the platform and our ability to stretch it across a lot of different areas of the company and product lines."
"One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it, but because of the structure and the engineering behind it, you can actually have your blades partitioned and they're actually physically divided."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is much better to use “normal” servers. The initial investment for a blade server is very high and creates dependency."
"It is much better to use “normal” servers. The initial investment for a blade server is very high and creates dependency."
"It can have more automation."
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
"Looking back to our original purchase of Superdome X, we bought the smallest model."
"I'd like to see the onboarding of some storage class memory to really expand the already very large RAM, into something that could be even much bigger."
"The technical support sucks, would be understating it. Because the first line and the second line support tend to give out stupid suggestions that are completely useless, and they aren't listening to anything."
"I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."
"I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."
"There's a big upfront investment, but the total cost of ownership should be cheaper over the long term."
"What would make it better from my point of view is if HPE spent more time on testing with the actual built-in Red Hat Linux drivers, as opposed to always trying to say, "Use our driver.""

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are special licenses that are connected to the usage. We installed Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series for a high PC solution, and for this reason, some Microsoft licenses and other special licenses were embedded or bundled to the Fujitsu solution."
"No license is required to operate the product."
"There is a very expensive one-time cost with no licensing fees."
"The pricing is not very cheap. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very inexpensive, and ten being very expensive."
