Reliability and reasonable pricing enhance data center management

I researched on peerspot.com about IT solutions, specifically about HPE BladeSystem and HPE Synergy, because we are already using HP servers in our state data center. In HP Cloud System, we are using a converged infrastructure to connect LAN and SAN connectivity across the network. Regarding Virtual Connect technology, there is a noticeable impact on network management. For day-to-day operations, we use various applications such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams to connect virtually. Using HPE BladeSystem Virtual Connect technology in HP Cloud System, we achieve efficient network management with well-defined LAN and SAN connectivity. We already have a defined modular architecture in place designed by the HP team for our data center. My company name is National Institute for Smart Government, also called NISG, under the National e-Governance Division. My title is Technology Management Consultant. I would rate HPE BladeSystem as an eight out of ten.

Highly stable, straightforward, and easy to use

In terms of improvement, the operating system development is slow, making it hard to keep up with modern tech and integrate with third-party products. Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365. This means if you are using HPE, you might face challenges connecting to the cloud and need to rely more on on-premises servers. Also, the support is lacking in some third-party products, limiting your options.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is scalable, offering flexibility and expansion options to meet changing business needs."

"HPE BladeSystem provides good commuting performance."

"When it comes to the BladeSystem, what we love about it most is being able to actually manage it using OneView."

"The benefit is the density and the capability for global harmonization on the hardware, because all the hardware chassis are the same. We can also purchase the same network cards too, chassis by chassis, so it gives us a global solution."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its high availability."

"It is very stable."

"With just one cable, for redundancy let's say two, you can feed sixteen servers in a single c7000 chassis."

More HPE BladeSystem pros

"If the hardware offered higher efficiency, that would be an ideal situation for our company."

"HPE BladeSystem could improve the communication between the server and the storage."

"Currently, in the case of a disk failure there is a need to remove the whole bay and as a result, to disconnect all the other disks."

"Regarding the cost, HPE BladeSystem is not cheap.

I don't have specific figures for licensing costs, as the procurement and finance departments handle them."

"It is expensive. There are no additional costs. We are able to get good discounts anyway from HPE, but if the price can come down, we'll be happy."
