Reliable servers handle numerous applications efficiently
Pricing is very high. It should be less. In comparison to other brands like Dell or Cisco, I think HPE is not CTS. HPE should not be CTS. It should be less than Cisco and IBM. IBM has higher costs. Compared to Dell and Cisco, it is costly, and some management software is also expensive.

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

"It is very fast and easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"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."
"The solution helps us to implement new business requirements quickly, by using the Composer for efficiency. It has also improved the productivity of our development team due to the efficiency of being able to deploy via Composer."
"Where it used to take one week to re-image or upgrade our hosts, it can now take one day."
"The Synergy environment provides us with one view. We're able to manage the entire stack, top to bottom, from that single view."
"The initial setup is fine."
"OneView, as a single point, a single management tool, it makes me delirious. It's really nice."
"With OneView, we can take care of all our servers in one dashboard."
"The manageability is its most valuable feature. It is a fully managed platform, which is very simple to manage."
"I like that it's suitable for virtualization. It's also stable and scalable. The newer version has a lot of memory, and you don't have to worry about updates."
 

Cons

"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."
"The manageability must be improved."
"Pricing is very high."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"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."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"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 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. This would be more efficient with resources."
"In the past, I have had issues with configurations."
"I would like the ability to have my storage components accessed from any other frame across the backplane. If we have a storage module and we run out of space in that frame, it'd be nice to be able to share it across the frames. You can do it with hyperconverged. Why can't you do it with Synergy?"
"I would like more storage with this solution, because we still need 3PAR or other storage outside the box for the amount of data that we have."
"I would like to see more nodes in a single chassis so we wouldn't have to purchase additional chassis."
"The solution should support Cisco or other vendor interconnect models."
"The installation and initial setup process is complex and needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is the best."
"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."
"We have already paid once. It is just the price for the permit and its use. It seems you don't have to keep paying for it, but I am not sure."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
"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."
"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
"The platform that we run Synergy on is all virtualized. Our primary cost is likely VMware."
"In our whole environment, the cost is in the millions. On this particular chassis, the annual cost is 12 blades times approximately $40,000."
"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
