Provides the best pricing in the market, performs well, and has good productivity
We use the solution for our production environment The tool provides good performance and productivity. It is a good solution. We run our production applications on the product. The manageability must be improved. Regular management is a little complex. I have been using the solution for ten…

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

"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"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 tool provides good performance and productivity."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"We have more control over the firmware and how we are managing our physical servers."
"In the data center, you see customers with a lot of blade enclosures and a lot of servers, and this solution works fine."
"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."
"The composable feature is amazing as it helps avoid downtimes."
"Where it used to take one week to re-image or upgrade our hosts, it can now take one day."
"We bought it with the intent to replace the c7000 workstation blades. It is bigger than the workstation blades in core count, memory, and graphical capabilities. So, it has broadened us in that regard, and we have more capabilities."
"The processing time has been about 50 times faster and allows us to do AI models."
"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."
 

Cons

"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"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."
"Pricing is very high."
"The manageability must be improved."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"The post-sales activity needs improvement. There is some sort of convoluted spreadsheet that you have to fill in prior to the platform being delivered. It seems a little bit out-of-date and inefficient. Surely, there is some sort of web page configuration tool online that a customer could use. Then, it could be validated by somebody else, like a partner or HPE technical resource, then that would be a lot more efficient."
"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?"
"The cost is quite high."
"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."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. It's for admins, and you should have the knowledge to use it."
"If it would be possible to connect clusters of five with other clusters, so that they could all share resources, that would change the game for us. It would make it a viable solution for us."
"In the Generation 10 modules, we have observed that very often the server has hardware issues."
"I would like it to connect to the HPE Cloud Connect compute platform for simplicity of our infrastructure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The pricing is the best."
"The price is not very expensive."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The licensing is more around the software for RGS, because we are deploying bare metal installs. It is mainly the operating system and any lights-out management. So, licensing is minimum. We are licensing it annually."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
"The price point is a little high. We were able to get a good deal on a promotion, to go with it. It would be nice to see the prices come down a little bit."
"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs because we have had to buy less services than we used to."
"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 are satisfied with its price."
