Featured Reviews

SHIVAKUMAR A P - PeerSpot reviewer
Addresses end-to-end customer needs and improves data center efficiency
The AI engines that HPE ProLiant DL Servers suggest for their customers include NVIDIA graphics and EnvyLink graphics for AI customers. The AI engines are more than sufficient for the current situation. HPE ProLiant DL Servers address end-to-end customer needs. It is a perfect combination with the generation 12 now, and there are absolutely no gaps. Customers usually deploy HPE ProLiant DL Servers on-premises, as on cloud, they do not have the option to specify the server model, and the cloud vendors will not specify which server it is. My usual deployment process involves checking the power AC requirements, power and cooling requirements, then the rack requirements, and then I proceed to deploy the servers based on the customer requirement. I rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers 10 out of 10.
Santiago Zaragoza - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The ProLiant DL Servers are stable and reliable."
"The product is scalable and stable."
"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."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"The speed of the backups and having the system be immune to ransomware are the main advantages."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."
"I recommend HP ProLiant. It's a robust and scalable product."
"Its management, IOs, and stability are the most valuable features. It works fine. It has all the features of a typical server. All that can be done has already been done."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"The support lifecycle for the product for the Telco application should be better."
"It has something called WorldView. They should do some enhancement over WorldView to run an operating system as a code. Such a feature would be amazing for running multiple servers. They are already working on this, and they can enhance the existing versions for this. It should also be cheaper. It is currently expensive."
"We would like to see remote monitoring capabilities added."
"I want to improve hyper-converged sites."
"If they could put a SAN storage or resend it in the same product, it would be very helpful and more powerful."
"The servers should include OneView for intelligence provisioning."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"In the HPE ProLiant DL Servers generation nine, there was a problem when the expansion cards were installed on the server. There was only a small amount of room for the top expansion cards that hand could insert or remove the cables inside."
"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

"This was a one-time purchase for us because it's hardware that we purchased from HPE. There aren't any licensing costs."
"This is an expensive product and there is licensing required for iLO, which is the HPE monitoring system."
"The iLO (integrated lights out) license is very expensive, but the functionality you receive is worth it."
"They need to work with Microsoft to make the licensing costs better and more efficient."
"The solution is expensive."
"It's expensive."
"I give the pricing a six out of ten."
"This product is within our budget."
