We performed a comparison between Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series and HPE Synergy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The solution helps us to implement new business requirements quickly, by using the Composer for efficiency. It has also improved the productivity of our development team due to the efficiency of being able to deploy via Composer."
"We've found the scalability to be reasonable if you are ready to invest in it."
"The scalability is very good. The ability to link chassis or frames together makes it simplistic, especially with the use of OneView."
"They're easy to swap and move around the datacenter, for sure. They don't occupy too much space for what they offer."
"In the data center, you see customers with a lot of blade enclosures and a lot of servers, and this solution works fine."
"OneView, as a single point, a single management tool, it makes me delirious. It's really nice."
"It is first in class for composable infrastructure. It has the scalability that meets our future needs and the automation that builds into something that we are really looking forward to using."
"The hyper-converged infrastructure where everything is stateless is valuable. Basically, you have your compute storage and networking management."
"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."
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
"One of the issues that we that we have been having is with the firmware baselining. So, we need to just making sure that we get that working. However, we are in the early stages. It may well be that we just tweak a few things."
"I would like the ability to have my storage components accessed from any other frame across the backplane. If we have a storage module and we run out of space in that frame, it'd be nice to be able to share it across the frames. You can do it with hyperconverged. Why can't you do it with Synergy?"
"We had an issue during the initial setup with the 40 Gigabyte cards. They weren’t working, so we had to work really closely with HPE support to get them to work."
"A big thing for me is moving InfoSight for ProLiant into OneView, or at least connecting it. Today we have to use the iLO Amplifier Pack and that would require us to reconfigure iLO on every single one of the servers, independently, to get that data into InfoSight. We're really looking for a single control and management plane."
"Technical support for this solution has a very good initial response; however, escalation takes time, and most of the time the first level of support cannot solve your case."
"Sometimes there are firmware or software difficulties when connecting between networks or with storage."
"I think we were promised a little more than we were given. It's true, they are working very hard to try to help remedy that."
"In the past, I have had issues with configurations."
