Linda Belebesi

Unix System Engineer at Road Accident Fund

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.

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.

Helps grow horizontally or vertically within one box or chassis

The initial setup is very easy. We deployed this in two days, including installation, system setup, firmware upgrades, configuration, and network connection. By the next day, we were already deploying virtual machines. We initially began with the Blade system. As the migration to SAP HANA approached, it seemed prudent to upgrade our hardware. Consequently, we facilitated their transition from the Blade system to Synergy. Subsequently, we collaborated closely with the SAP consultancy company to oversee the migration process, ensuring seamless integration of all workloads and sub-environments. We have four people working on the deployment, including a project manager, two specialists, and one tech support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."

"It is very fast and easy to use."

"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."

"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."

"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."

"The tool provides good performance and productivity."

"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."

"We have what is called a chief data care center support. This is the highest level of support they have. We have been very happy with the support we have received."

"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."

"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."

"Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable."

"Great flexibility including configuring the interconnects on the use of the chassis."

"Orchestrating automations is great because you can connect to other tools with the REST API and automate components."

"The Synergy environment provides us with one view. We're able to manage the entire stack, top to bottom, from that single view."

"The flexibility to link them together and configure them gives us the ability to scale out easily, to add more compute resources as needed... The way that they're scalable and flexible means we can add additional servers in quickly... We're not spending a lot of time doing procurement and building of physical servers."

"The most valuable features are the converged network adapters."

"The processing time has been about 50 times faster and allows us to do AI models."

"Cable management is a big feature, in addition to time to deployment. We can buy a new server and have it up and running very quickly."

"Where it used to take one week to re-image or upgrade our hosts, it can now take one day."

Cons

"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."

"HPE Integrity is a pain. HPE hasn't put much work into developing the solution in the past few years because it will be discontinued soon."

"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."

"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."

"Pricing is very high."

"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."

"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."

"The manageability must be improved."

"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."

"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."

"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop."

"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."

"The performance could be better. The converged network cards initially didn't work. However, later on in the newer version, they came up with 50 GB network cards to replace the 20 GB ones, and it's perfectly fine now. At times, it could also be more stable."

"We have flaky things, like a lot of bad fans."

"One of the things that I would like to see, and could be in their road map, is getting virtual connect to 100 Gig throughput."

"Because we're using 2012, we're having issues making templates."

"The initial setup was complex. We had a couple of bright engineers working on it, and they figured out a lot of things that they don't know... The problem was that they couldn't find documentation easily, to walk them through setup when they just didn't know the platform."

"I'd like to see the firmware updates, as well as the built-in OneView and imager in Composer, become a little more powerful and faster."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."

"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."

"The pricing is the best."

"The price is not very expensive."

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."

"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."

"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."

"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs because we have had to buy less services than we used to."

"We pay about £500 for the solution."

"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."

"For me, the scalability is how much money that I need to spend on switches for how many frames, which ultimately means servers. To get the best bandwidth before the most recent product announcement, I have buy new switches every three frames. The competition is shipping a product right now where I only need switches every ten frames."

"It costs us around $60,000 a year."

"The biggest cost is the VMware licensing."

"VMware is part of the cost. We bought the chassis, we bought the solution. The blades are roughly running us $60,000 a pop right now."

"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
