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."

"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."

"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."

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

"The tool provides good performance and productivity."

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

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

More HPE Integrity pros

"The initial setup is fine."

"The Synergy environment provides us with one view. We're able to manage the entire stack, top to bottom, from that single view."

"We have been able to give the deployment team what they request more quickly. We are able to quickly deploy what is being asked of us. If the development team needs a platform of 20 servers to run a particular platform, we can give that to them within a day or two."

"It allows for easy management."

"The benefit is that it's going to be maintained, contrary to what we had last year, when the maintenance went off for the last generation of the servers that we had there."

"The single pane of glass management is huge, because in all our previous systems, depending on what we were managing, we would go to a different management point. Being able to go to one spot to get everything is helpful. I find that server profile creation is a lot easier in OneView than it was previously. We are able to stay compliant with firmware and updates, because we are assigning server profiles and reapplying them when there are changes. This makes everything a lot simpler."

"The solution help us to implement new business requirements quickly, since it is easy and quick to upgrade our capacity."

"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."

More HPE Synergy pros

Cons

"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."

"Pricing is very high."

"The manageability must be improved."

"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."

"Where I have not really enjoyed is the flexibility of doing things. You are just in a straitjacket with what they give you."

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

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

More HPE Integrity cons

"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 cost is quite high."

"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."

"We had an issue during the initial setup with the 40 Gigabyte cards. They weren’t working, so we had to work really closely with HPE support to get them to work."

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

"The stability is not good right now. We have had a couple of outages where we have receive very good support from HPE. However, we have not been able to come up with cut and dried reasons for why the outages have occurred. They have not been able to be reproduced, so it has been difficult getting our trust back."

"There is always room for improvement. Based on our use cases, I don't believe there are any additional features required."

"When templates are created, there are some steps where you need to reboot the machines. Being in production, this is not a good idea. For example, if you reconfigure the network, you should not have to reboot the machine. You should just apply the new template and that's it."

More HPE Synergy cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is not very expensive."

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

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."

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

"The pricing is the best."

"We do CAPEX."

"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."

"The solution can be expensive because it requires both hardware and software purchases."

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

"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."

"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."

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

"We pay about £500 for the solution."
