We performed a comparison between HPE Superdome X and Super Micro SuperBlade based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."
"I like the robustness of the machine. Similar performance could likely be achieved with other configurations, but this machine is very stable."
"We've got a few of them, because we needed some really large machines. So far, they've been working pretty good."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"This product is very reliable."
"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"Superdome X is a system that can compete in terms of performance and uptime, but it's now standard. That is the great value. There are competitors like IBM, for example, but IBM has a propietary operating system. With Superdome X, you have a system that can run Windows, Red Hat, or VMware, but in a mission critical server."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I think the IPMI is a really good feature."
"The ability to save resource is a key feature."
"In this specific model, it could be beneficial to have a server configuration similar to Cisco, like the kind offered in HPE Superdome Flex X280. The ability to separate the chassis is important because we are forced to use two chassis even with lower loads. So introducing more flexibility in the Superdome environment would be helpful."
"I'd like to see the onboarding of some storage class memory to really expand the already very large RAM, into something that could be even much bigger."
"What would make it better from my point of view is if HPE spent more time on testing with the actual built-in Red Hat Linux drivers, as opposed to always trying to say, "Use our driver.""
"HPE Superdome X can improve by adding a lot of cloud capabilities to allow this solution to be cloud-ready in case the customer wants to move it to the cloud."
"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online."
"I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."
"The solution does not scale well."
"Supermicro blade servers are not the best. They could improve in scalability but are not really scalable right now."
"There is a lack of support for fiber channels currently that needs to be added."
