Find out in this report how the two Blade Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the stability."
"The solution uses a smaller space in our data centers. It uses less feeder and network cable, which reduces costs."
"The solution has high performance."
"They are reliable, and they hardly break down. They are fast, and they serve us very well."
"I have noticed that the solution does provide a very good ROI for companies."
"The solution is very fast and the power consumption is great."
"We are very happy with flexible NIC configuration features which are possible if you combine the BladeServers with HPE flex switches in the enclosures."
"Its ease of management, consolidation, connectivity, power, and cooling are the most valuable features."
"One of the main features that attract customers to buy their products is the great management tool and almost zero failure rate, making it easy to use."
"The initial setup is not complex. It's a user-friendly tool."
"I like the feature that allows for a backup and that is suitable for me."
"The scalability of the solution met our needs."
"PowerEdge servers have high CPU processing power, and the support is also good."
"Technical support has been helpful."
"The performance is good."
"It's a good product. Virtualization on it is good."
"The scalability is limited because you only have a 16-server by chassis."
"The management side of this solution could be improved."
"I am not sure if iLO is included or if there is a separate license. If it is not included, it should be included in the license. It is such a valuable feature especially because people are working remotely."
"We had a few hard drives that crashed, and we couldn't find them locally. We've tried internationally, but we are still struggling to get its spare parts. This is the main challenge that we have faced with this solution. Fortunately, the other drives are still working. There should be easy availability of spare parts. I should be able to request a quotation online from HPE for things that I am not able to get locally. Currently, I can order online, but when I type the serial number, most of the time, it is rejected. I don't know why it is happening. It could be because the company that sold us the system didn't buy it through the normal HPE channel. HPE should assist us as users to get the spare parts. Its security needs to be beefed up. I would like some security features. It was also challenging for us to set it up because we didn't get enough training from them."
"For me, the product is okay, but I would probably suggest improvement in their services or technical support. They need to work harder in the preventative maintenance of the system. They need to improve in terms of how quickly can we get attention and how quickly problems are resolved. Its price could also be lower."
"The only side that must be improved is the active-passive interconnect module architecture."
"Higher bandwidth interconnects could be introduced."
"HPE BladeSystem could improve the communication between the server and the storage."
"There has been an increase in quality issues."
"The price must be improved."
"There is some trouble with the stability part of the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The reliability needs improvement."
"The product’s pricing could be a little cheaper."
"Its customer service could be better."
"The current memory could be improved."
"It would be easier if data center management and disaster recovery were combined."
