JQ
Oracle Database Administrator at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
Robust security layers have supported mission-critical banking and protected sensitive data
Where I have not really enjoyed is the flexibility of doing things. You are just in a straitjacket with what they give you. The flexibility of doing things is limited compared to other platforms. The backup and restore features on that module were a bit old. I couldn't create a snapshot and provision a server in minutes. The VM features that I can use now easily were not that easy with HPE Integrity and were not even available for us. I had a lot of interaction with HPE Integrity and wanted to move to a different platform for a different experience. I did not see any products matching the Dell PowerFlex environment in terms of server capabilities when it comes to HPE Integrity. We are now using Oracle products and Oracle Data Guard. Oracle on HPE Integrity was a bit more difficult because you have to get separate patches, separate tunables, and separate kernel settings for HPE Integrity. Everything was so proprietary on HPE Integrity, making it difficult to have one solution. The Dell Linux environment with Oracle Linux OS now will be much easier.

With a perfect record for uptime, the solution ensures a return on investment
Since it is a legacy tool, there is a need to change it for flexibility. I think now it has improved because the security is very good. It is very secure for the performance of the machine critical application service, and it is very good. I don't know how to speak more on improvement needed because it's a good enough tool. However, depending on the application, it's limited. Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop. It is not flexible because I know that because of the compatibility of Java with HPE NonStop. When we are using Java, the performance is not good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"The Integrity is the most reliable server that I have."
"Except running Oracle on Integrity servers, its ROI is well justified in customer environments."
"It just keeps on going; we don't have any problems with any HPE equipment, to be fair."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"If one needs a system with first class stability that may be an expensive solution, HPE Integrity is a way to go."
"HPE Integrity is a mission-critical server, and we are using it for our SAP; we require zero downtime, which is why it is typically used in environments like banks or air traffic control where the downtime requirement is absolute zero."
"The added value of Integrity has always been the reliability of the processors and all the parts in the servers."
"The HPE NonStop solution is rated with the highest level of availability in the industry."
"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."
"If you are contemplating a fault-tolerant, high uptime transaction processing machine with above normal transactions volumes - to act as a transaction server with infrequent changes to code - and you simply must have bulletproof performance - this might be the ticket."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."
"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."
"Because we're able to get immediate support, this prevents downtime and directly impacts cost savings."
"Technical support is A++. If there is a problem, HPE will fix it."
"This is the standard for reliability and fault-resilience."
 

Cons

"With the announcement last year from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise that they are no longer supporting Itanium 2 processors, which means HP-UX is going to die soon in a couple of years."
"Pricing is very high. It should be less."
"We're moving away from Integrity as it's more pricey than the Intels."
"The quantity of the processor from Integrity, because at this moment there's a limit."
"Don't do it. Go x86."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"Since Intel featured this product as a mainframe class, it should perform closer to a mainframe."
"Where I have not really enjoyed is the flexibility of doing things. You are just in a straitjacket with what they give you."
"If pushed, then the only thing I can think of would be utilities provided by the vendor."
"Currently the NonStop platform doesn’t support virtualization of servers or CPU’s. Only storage."
"The hardware fails often, and I feel that HP really needs to pay more attention to this issue."
"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop."
"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."
"There were some scalability issues. When we decided to migrate an application or port application, the limitations of these servers did not help us."
"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."
"The initial setup is complex. You need the help of a consultant for it to go smoothly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is not very expensive."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The pricing is the best."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
"The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
