With a perfect record for uptime, the solution ensures a return on investment

Since it is a legacy tool, there is a need to change it for flexibility. I think now it has improved because the security is very good. It is very secure for the performance of the machine critical application service, and it is very good. I don't know how to speak more on improvement needed because it's a good enough tool. However, depending on the application, it's limited. Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop. It is not flexible because I know that because of the compatibility of Java with HPE NonStop. When we are using Java, the performance is not good.

We're able to set-up multiple VLANs in it.

Hyper V was the best option in case of server fail-over & Storage option was the best with the VD pools assigned to the server modules We have improved a lot, and our customers are very satisfied with the product. We're able to set-up multiple VLANs in it. I think that Intel shouldn't have…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."

"They've been very reliable since we started using them in 1978, but we're going to replace them in a few years."

"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."

"If you are contemplating a fault-tolerant, high uptime transaction processing machine with above normal transactions volumes - to act as a transaction server with infrequent changes to code - and you simply must have bulletproof performance - this might be the ticket."

"Because we're able to get immediate support, this prevents downtime and directly impacts cost savings."

"It helps us to keep the business running 24/7."

"Technical support is A++. If there is a problem, HPE will fix it."

"Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable."

More HPE NonStop pros

"The MFSYS25 is a relatively cheap blade system with a built in "mini" SAN."

"We have improved a lot, and our customers are very satisfied with the product."

Cons

"The NonStop Support Center is very good, with an occasional bump in the road."

"If pushed, then the only thing I can think of would be utilities provided by the vendor."

"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."

"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."

"The hardware fails often, and I feel that HP really needs to pay more attention to this issue."

"I would never advise someone to buy or to implement the new NonStop because it's hard to find skilled people."

"The NonStop system is well priced, but the software that runs on it is quite pricey."

"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop."

More HPE NonStop cons

"The Intel Switches give very poor performance when mixed with anything else."

"There is one regular error which irritates me during production hours. It continually gives us COMPONENT UNFIT ERROR."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."

"The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."
