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.

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

"It is very fast and easy to use."

"The tool provides good performance and productivity."

More HPE Integrity pros

"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."

"All components in the HPE Synergy solution are redundant; if we experience any downtime in a component, a redundant one is available in our Synergy frame, therefore the downtime and stability for HPE Synergy solution are very good and highly appreciated."

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

"Everybody noticed very large improvement in data processing. A lot of activity which took hours now takes, let's say, tens of minutes."

"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."

"We have more control over the firmware and how we are managing our physical servers."

"Support is very helpful."

"Give us the ability to seamlessly migrate from one operating environment to another within minutes, which is invaluable."

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."

"The manageability must be improved."

"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 monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."

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

"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."

More HPE Integrity cons

"The profiles aren't so easy to work with."

"The technical support was about the only negative experience that I had. It was a mixed bag when we were first standing it up. We had some requirements from our information security department, and technical support wasn't able to give me immediate answers. They had to engage engineering, which they did, then they got me the answers. However, it took a week of back and forth conversations and phone calls to get it all worked out."

"I would like it to connect to the HPE Cloud Connect compute platform for simplicity of our infrastructure."

"Product documentation is disorganized."

"We'd like to see faster networking in the back-end."

"Technical support for this solution has a very good initial response; however, escalation takes time, and most of the time the first level of support cannot solve your case."

"There is certainly a feature or two missing."

"It would be nice if the updates were not accompanied by downtime."

More HPE Synergy cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is the best."

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

"The price is not very expensive."

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

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."

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

"We do CAPEX."

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

"The cost is high and that is a drawback for some customers."

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

"We are satisfied with its price."

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

"The hardware licensing cost is reasonable."
