High availability servers have boosted hosted payment services but still need better local support
We are not using PowerVM because of certain limitations; it is on a back-end engine. However, we are using other components such as vSphere for some small interfaces, and those are the main components we are utilizing. Since these servers are fully dedicated to various high-end solutions, they have some embedded features that their kernel and applications are using, which are bound to that functionality. We may not provide an exact assessment on its usage, but we are considering those products for some AI solutions; however, we are currently in the review stage and have not concluded our evaluation on how those are utilized yet. We are aware of the pricing of HPE ProLiant DL servers, but not off the cuff. We have obviously acquired those solutions ex-Pakistan, so they are on the rise, and while we do not remember those prices offhand, they are generally better than the IBM series, although they are becoming slightly pricey in Pakistan due to processor shortages and demand. Improvements could be made in database engine hosting services because, as it stands, the pricing of Oracle is too high from both the service and software solution perspectives. If pricing can be reduced, especially for DB servers, that could have a direct positive impact on the overall solution. Regarding reliability, it has been satisfactory so far, but since the distributors are not physically present in Pakistan, that creates a risk for long-term large customers. They provide import-based services, necessitating us to over-invest in backup stock and offline servers. If there was a market presence from those players in Pakistan, it could benefit both clients and distributors by reducing the need for investment in backup inventory.

Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems
I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HPE ProLiant DL Servers are easy to maintain. When we need to update the firmware or we need to log on remotely via the IO management interface. It's very convenient, easy. The supply chain is fast when we need to replace some failed hardware, such as hard drives or power supplies. Most of the time, it only takes a few days. The HPE ProLiant DL Servers services are officially certified for Red Hat usage which is a big advantage."
"The stability has been very good, and it is very reliable."
"The most valuable features are reliability, the ease of implementation and setup, it's all wizard-driven, and also maintenance on the devices, spare parts availability, and reliability."
"The pricing of the product is fair and not too expensive."
"Compatibility is the best feature of the solution."
"During the period of time I was providing tech support for this product line, I was able to see that its fault tolerance is really high, providing the capability of a reaction against a “disaster” and the failure rate is really low."
"They are good because we can isolate the customer's various stuff onto machines that have everything dedicated, rather than being a blade, where I share stuff with others and they do something dumb."
"The reason we switched from Dell was because we felt that the HPE solution was far superior."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"We don't get any support from HP because of our geographical location. We solve all problems ourselves by doing research on the internet."
"The pricing of HPE ProLiant DL Servers depends purely on the configuration, and it is not affordable."
"Serial number tracking and trying to get that tied to my account. I have a terrible time with that with HP."
"It's scalable but we are switching to workstation for some software because the CPU speed isn't fast enough anymore."
"Regarding reliability, it has been satisfactory so far, but since the distributors are not physically present in Pakistan, that creates a risk for long-term large customers."
"The solution should work to be more scalable."
"I think the speed could be improved with OneView. At the moment, OpenManage is faster and has a better interface than HPE."
"Support on the hardware side is a little bit more challenging than on other sides because there are so many components involved, if you look at servers."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We did not need to pay for a license for the use of HP DL servers, just for normal hardcore support."
"It is expensive. Its price should be better."
"I give the pricing a six out of ten."
"The price of HPE ProLiant DL Servers is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"This product is within our budget."
"It is just too expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
