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."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"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 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."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"It is helping us sort of bridge a gap that we are having moving off of old legacy systems, like HP-UX systems and trying to move over to x86. So, it is helping fill a hardware gap that a lot of our platforms have needed in the past."
"In the data center, you see customers with a lot of blade enclosures and a lot of servers, and this solution works fine."
"It has had a positive effect on the efficiency of our IT infrastructure team. The manageability of it is so easy, we're able to install it quickly, and replacement parts are easy to get in and out quickly."
"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."
"It makes it simpler for me to manage my environment. It is one pane of glass, compared to multiple."
"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."
"I love the satellite architecture for the Virtual Connect. I think this is great. I love the storage drawer, which you can present volumes to any compute node within the same frame."
"It allows for easy management."
 

Cons

"The manageability must be improved."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"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."
"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 user interface could be more user-friendly. It's for admins, and you should have the knowledge to use it."
"The pricing can be improved as it is a costly solution due to sanctions in Iran."
"The possibility of using storage directly in the frame in order to have bigger storage directly there, and not having an attached storage like SAN or NAS. That would be helpful."
"Technical support was time consuming and unsatisfactory. The initial product setup was complex, lasing around three weeks to a month."
"One of the things that I would like to see, and could be in their road map, is getting virtual connect to 100 Gig throughput."
"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 think we were promised a little more than we were given. It's true, they are working very hard to try to help remedy that."
"Changes to the solution are quite complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is the best."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The price is not very expensive."
"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."
"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 bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."
"The cost is high and that is a drawback for some customers."
"We do CAPEX."
"For me, the scalability is how much money that I need to spend on switches for how many frames, which ultimately means servers. To get the best bandwidth before the most recent product announcement, I have buy new switches every three frames. The competition is shipping a product right now where I only need switches every ten frames."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
"The platform that we run Synergy on is all virtualized. Our primary cost is likely VMware."
