Cons
"Airflow in the servers can be a problem. Sometimes we cannot add CPU to Edge Servers because there's not enough airflow in the appliance.""With Lenovo, when it comes to its HCI-related part, which includes ThinkAgile, users may face issues as VMware licenses are not linked with ThinkAgile."

More Lenovo Edge Servers Cons →

"They need some sort of modeling because IBM has different types of models.""They have declared the end of life of the hardware.""Oracle SPARC Servers should be fine-tuned well enough to work with the other servers and software products in the market, as it is an area where Oracle SPARC Servers lack.""Oracle doesn't have a good roadmap for the solution because they are moving to the x86 platform.""I would like to see a reduced price point.""The solution could improve by giving a clear roadmap about the future. I'm not seeing a lot of improvements on the OS side of the software. They need to work more on the operating system.""Like IBM, Oracle SPARC Servers should be able to run other open operating systems like Linux."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is available to users at a low price."
  • More Lenovo Edge Servers Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Oracle SPARC Servers are expensive to manage, this is because after five years Oracle will increase the support charges for the hardware. The licensing policy for Oracle is different for Intel and Sparc. It will cost you less if you use your Oracle hardware with Oracle SPARC Servers."
  • "The licensing is flexible."
  • "The application running on it is very important to us and this makes the price worth it."
  • "The hardware is expensive but it has very rich virtualization features that make it economical."
  • "My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing costs attached to the solution."
