Pros
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."

More Huawei FusionServer RH Series Rack Servers Pros →

"The best features of the solution are its robustness and service level.""We value the stability and technology capability of this solution the most. It is very stable, and the processor technology of IBM is very good. When you have a CIO and you are dealing with C-level every day, you can, without any doubt, support the core banking or critical applications with this solution.""The performance and stability are great.""The main feature that I have found most valuable is PowerVM - its virtualization feature which is the most powerful.""What we like the most is the ability to upgrade the scaling of the system itself. Whenever we need extra storage, we can do that. Whenever we need extra memory, we can do that as well. It's fast and it's available.""From a software developer standpoint, virtualization is really the key, as we can more easily spin up a new partition, virtual instance of IBM i.""IBM Power Systems are secure and have fast processing.""The performance is the solution's most valuable asset. It has one of the highest levels of performance I have ever seen. It's quite remarkable, in that sense."

Cons
"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."

More Huawei FusionServer RH Series Rack Servers Cons →

"I think the cost should be cheaper.""No available price list is on the web. Due to this, the customer cannot compare pricing.""It would be ideal if the solution was more simple to work with.""One of the features that we would like, and I think they are also adapting to the latest trends in the market, is to make it more open, more flexible... With VMware, anybody can create a virtual machine without any knowledge of the server side. But with AIX it's a bit difficult.""One of the main challenges with IBM Power Systems is the functionality of live partnership mobility.""Everyone likes speed. Not that speed has been an issue up until now but you can never be too fast.""If you take advantage of some of these real advanced features, for oversubscribing as an example, it's not supported on Linux on Power. So that stops us, in particular, from going that way.""The pricing is high."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Why should I be charged for that use rather than a single CPU, a single socket?"
  • "The cost model is great. There is so much built in to the technology, that if you know how to use it you can save yourself a lot of money."
  • "It is designed for a large workload, as opposed to a small workload. For our circumstances, and even as an independent, I can't buy a Power system to experiment on. It can't happen. You cannot buy them."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "Its price is too high."
  • "Its price depends on the sizing."
  • "The pricing of the solution is very good because we can beat any other competitor with the pricing. Lately, they have offered good pricing for their customer."
  • "The price of the solution could be somewhat better and this is what lowers my rating of it to a seven or eight out of ten."
