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 tool provides good performance and productivity."

"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."

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

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

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

"It is very fast and easy to use."

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

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

"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."

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

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

"The solution help us to implement new business requirements quickly, since it is easy and quick to upgrade our capacity."

"It makes life easier for us when we are deploying new technology, as we have the building blocks already in place."

"The initial setup is straightforward. The infrastructures as code enables you to fill out the configuration before you even deploy it, then it is just a one-touch deployment."

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

"It is really easy to use, because it's GUI-based. It is not command line based, like mainframes."

"Great data storage and very good for software defined solutions."

"The solution helps us to implement new business requirements quickly with some app deployments."

"HPE Synergy is a stable solution."

More HPE Synergy pros

Cons

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

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

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

"Pricing is very high."

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

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

"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 manageability must be improved."

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

"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."

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

"Instead of having Synergy vertical, make it horizontal. It is easier to stick in when it is vertical."

"In the past, I have had issues with configurations."

"A faster Composer module would be a good inclusion for the next release of this solution."

"We had some challenges during the implementation and a few issues afterward, but they were all sort of related to how Synergy interacts with Nexus. Our Nexus on the network side is managed by another group, and they had just gotten Nexus, so they weren't really familiar with how Nexus even worked. Getting these two to interact well was the majority of our issues. It really didn't have anything to do with Synergy. It points to know the environment that you are putting it in and making sure you are dotting all your i's and crossing all your t's when you are figuring out what their requirements are to communicate."

"The main challenge we faced was that when it was installed it just did not work. There were faulty components and it took weeks of troubleshooting to find the faulty components, get them replaced. Getting help from HPE was difficult. Nobody knew about the product. It was a brand-new product and people had not been trained on it. That part was not a great experience."

"Synergy could probably do some code enhancements to simplify the deployment a bit more."

"ICMs could be better in this model. When you look at its competitors, the most critical point is the throughput. HPE is the best with the ICM module, which is an interconnect module that connects the servers of the frames to the LAN and SAN. HPE Synergy should also support the latest processors provided by Intel."

"The Synergy platform is HPE-specific and more for on-premises. You're kind of locked in with VMware and the HPE with the VMs. The Nutanix offering is a bit more flexible."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The price is not very expensive."

"The pricing is the best."

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."

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

"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"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."

"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."

"We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."

"The platform that we run Synergy on is all virtualized. Our primary cost is likely VMware."

"We are satisfied with its price."

"The Nutanix platform came in a little more expensive than the Synergy."

"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."

"The biggest cost is the VMware licensing."
