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

"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."
"Because we are bringing in and deploying things very quickly, we can go to the business and give them solutions pretty quickly."
"The most valuable feature is its composable infrastructure. Everything I need is in the box. Manageability is through OneView, so I can get all the information about the box itself at any time I want."
"Give us the ability to seamlessly migrate from one operating environment to another within minutes, which is invaluable."
"If you can get it set up right and get a little bit of expertise in it, it's a wonderful platform."
"Shorter delivery times. Where we now have a delivery time of about six weeks, we hope to go back to days."
"Synergy has great data storage and it's a storage module."
"It helps us manage our IT landscape because it is easy, standard, and very consolidated."
"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 performance could be better. At times, it could also be more stable."
"The cost is high or a big investment and that is a drawback for some customers."
"A faster Composer module would be a good inclusion for the next release of this solution."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. It's for admins, and you should have the knowledge to use it."
"I would like to see support for other vendors’ hardware."
"The Synergy platform is HPE-specific and more for on-premises. You're kind of locked in with VMware and the HPE with the VMs. The Nutanix offering is a bit more flexible."
"They have not improved their product since it was purchased."
"Synergy could probably do some code enhancements to simplify the deployment a bit more."
"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

"We have already paid once. It is just the price for the permit and its use. It seems you don't have to keep paying for it, but I am not sure."
"We do CAPEX."
"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
"The cost is high and that is a drawback for some customers."
"We are satisfied with its price."
"For temporal use, when you throw on the fact that you're essentially doubling your capacity, right there you could claim a 50 percent TCO reduction."
"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."
"We outright purchased Synergy."
