Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 3, 2025

HPE Integrity and HPE Synergy are prominent players in the enterprise server market. Although HPE Integrity is known for its strong support and competitive pricing, HPE Synergy is often regarded as the more advanced option due to its innovative features and adaptability.

Features: HPE Integrity is valued for its stability, robust performance, and suitability for mission-critical tasks requiring uninterrupted service. It excels in reliability, scalability, and ease of use. HPE Synergy shines with its modular architecture and flexibility, allowing seamless integration with cloud environments and hybrid IT strategies. Its composable infrastructure and central management via HPE OneView enhance its adaptability, enabling scalable and efficient resource utilization.

Room for Improvement: HPE Integrity can improve by advancing its adaptability and ease of integration with modern IT environments, increasing modularity, and optimizing resource scaling capabilities. HPE Synergy could enhance its initial complexity and cost, simplify the composability concept for broader understanding, and further integrate with existing infrastructures to ease migration processes.

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.

Redundant components and single console management improve efficiency while high costs warrant attention

Regarding HPE Synergy, the most valuable feature is that the whole solution and the whole system operate in passive mode, and there are very few chances of downtime as all the components in HPE Synergy are redundant, including VC Flex modules and interconnect modules, as well as power supply and fan modules. Other networking and storage connectivity modules are also redundant, and we can mount the entire Synergy frame in a single rack. If we fully populate a Synergy frame with 12 servers, 12 physical machines could be mounted in one Synergy frame, mostly with redundant power supplies and networking ports along with SAN connectivity on a single console.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When it comes to high-fault tolerance, HPE Integrity is very good, and we have had very good experience with the integrity of the servers for mission-critical functions and high-fault tolerance."

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

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

"It is very fast and easy to use."

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

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

More HPE Integrity pros

"The composability is great."

"On the previous HPE platform, we struggled because everything was independent. We had to manage firmware on each server, storage and network configuration on each server. Synergy is template-driven so we can ensure consistency of all of those settings. It allows us to standardize configuration and ensure consistency across the board."

"I highly recommend HPE Synergy to others, as it is user-friendly, high-performing, and has good support."

"The most valuable feature is its composable infrastructure. Everything I need is in the box. Manageability is through OneView, so I can get all the information about the box itself at any time I want."

"The stability of the solution is very reliable."

"It makes it simpler for me to manage my environment. It is one pane of glass, compared to multiple."

"The price is reasonable, and the stability and scalability are okay; we bought the solution because it suits our needs."

"The most valuable features are the evolution of our existing HPE portfolio, the integration with our existing tool sets, and the enhanced capabilities that OneView bring."

More HPE Synergy pros

Cons

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

"We're moving away from Integrity as it's more pricey than the Intels."

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

"Pricing is very high."

"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."

"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."

More HPE Integrity cons

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

"The user interface could be more user-friendly. It's for admins, and you should have the knowledge to use it."

"We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations."

"One of the features I want to see, which I will see with OneView 5.0, is to have all the OneView consoles in a single pane of glass."

"Operationally, it is a little bit challenging to manage at this point. When you add onto it, you have to be very aware of where you are in the frame, on your count, and what components."

"Our IT infrastructure costs have gone up each year by 20 percent."

"I find the product documentation to be disorganized; it's not intuitive and the info required for checking a specific step-by-step configuration is buried under too much literature."

"I would like the ability to take the storage tray that is in a chassis and share it out to multiple chassis, not just the servers within the same chassis."

More HPE Synergy cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is the best."

"The price is not very expensive."

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

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

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."

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

"We do a biannual renewal. I know how much that renewal is, but I don't know how much it breaks down to be just Synergy, since we have our VMware, all of our physical equipment, etc. all rolled up into one renewal, which is a little over $300,000 every two years. However, only a subset of that is the Synergy product."

"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."

"There was at least about a 20 percent savings in cost over our purchase based on the purchase price of the compute modules themselves versus what we've had to pay before. It was significantly less."

"Our IT infrastructure costs have gone up each year by 20 percent."

"We do CAPEX."

"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs by 50 percent."

"In our whole environment, the cost is in the millions. On this particular chassis, the annual cost is 12 blades times approximately $40,000."
