HPE BladeSystem Reviews

HPE BladeSystem is used to consolidate the server's footprint.

The most valuable feature of the HPE BladeSystem is the ease of management.

HPE BladeSystem can improve proactive monitoring.

I have been using HPE BladeSystem for approximately 15 years.

HPE BladeSystem is very reliable, it is 100 percent stable.

As our business grows the HPE BladeSystem is scalable.

We have approximately 400 people using the solution in my organization. We plan to increase the usage in the future.

I have contacted HPE several times the HPE BladeSystem, and I was satisfied with the speed and their response.

I have previously used IBM and I was not happy with the solution. However, they no longer have the solution, they sold their portfolio to Lenovo.

The initial setup of the HPE BladeSystem was easy. The time it took for the deployment was approximately two days.

We used support from the vendor for the deployment.

I have seen a return on investment from using the HPE BladeSystem.

When you purchase HPE BladeSystem you have to pay for the support service. The first three years are covered under the warranty, and for any further support, you have to pay annually. When comparing the cost of HPE BladeSystem to other vendors, the fees are less expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE BladeSystem an eight out of ten.

We use the solution as a web application server. Multiple users visit our university website. The students watch live video lectures and download them.

Remote management features are valuable. We can manage it over the network from anywhere. We can get consolidated reports. We need not visit data centers. The performance of the tool is great.

The tool must provide integration with the cloud.

I have been using the solution for four years.

The tool is stable. I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. Sometimes, we face hardware failure.

This is a sophisticated solution that covers the entire process, from the components such as network and storage, up to the smart components. It also includes power management and is fully managed.

The most valuable feature of this solution is its high availability.

The latest version of this system is called Synergy from HPE, and it comes with more advanced features. 

This is currently the most advanced solution available in the market. One of its key features is its energy efficiency, which optimizes energy usage.

I have been working with HPE BladeSystem for five years.

HPE BladeSystem is also commonly known as ProLiant BL. ProLiant is a brand of server products manufactured by HPE, and the BL designation specifically refers to the blade form factor used in the BladeSystem line. The ProLiant BL servers are the blade servers that are designed to be used with the BladeSystem enclosures.

We are using version Gen Nine.

I would rate the scalability of HPE BladeSystem, an eight out of ten.

I have worked with Synergy within the last 12 months.

The installation is not difficult

To install the system hardware, we engaged the services of HPE professionals to ensure proper installation.

I don't have access to your financial information or the specific details of this solution's pricing.

There are no additional fees. It is the hardware and the support.

It all depends on how you configure the network components with the plate. That should be done properly, you know. If you configure it correctly, the network component and this connectivity will be available. There will be no issues throughout the update, repairing the hardware, upgrading the firmware, and so on.

I would rate  HPE BladeSystem a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for virtualizing databases and servers.

The solution uses less cabling and less space in the data center.

The price of the solution has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for ten years.

I give the stability a ten out of ten.

I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

We have around ten administrators using the solution in our organization.

We previously used the base system of HPE BladeSystem 1C7.

The initial setup is easy and can be completed within two days.

The implementation was completed in-house with the help of an HPE partner.

The licensing is on an annual basis.

I give the solution an eight out of ten. There are better solutions available in the market.

We are using HPE BladeSystem for commercial usage.

The most valuable feature of HPE BladeSystem is its upgradability and centralized configuration.

I have been using HPE BladeSystem for several years.

The solution is stable.

I rate the stability of HPE BladeSystem a nine out of ten.

I rate the scalability of HPE BladeSystem a nine out of ten.

I have previously used Dell and Cisco UCS.

The initial setup of HPE BladeSystem is not complex. The deployment is typically dome done within one day, a maximum of two days if it includes the OS or virtualization.

I rate the initial setup of HPE BladeSystem a nine out of ten.

We have a team that does the implementation of the solution.

The price of HPE BladeSystem could improve. They need to reduce the price to be able to compete better with other vendors, such as Dell.

Cisco UCS is the worst for pricing, then Dell, and HPE.

I rate the price of HPE BladeSystem a seven out of ten.

The maintenance of the solution can be done by one person.

I rate HPE BladeSystem a nine out of ten.

These are rack servers. 

We have data for banking services. We use Windows servers, mostly. We install applications and banking applications mostly, otherwise like some E-discovery services servers are there. We have almost 25 servers. Some of them are in a data center, and some of them are in-house.

We can enhance the processors and increase the RAM. It's easy to do. It's very easy to upgrade.

The solution is issue-free and works almost flawlessly.

It's simple to set up if you have some experience with the product.

The solution is very stable. 

It is scalable. 

If you've never used the solution before, the initial setup can be complex. 

The pricing is high. If you compare it with Lenovo systems, the pricing is too high. At this point in time, we are looking for some servers and when we have compared the prices we found Lenovo is the lowest option, even though they have about the same level of services. 

We'd like them to be more scalable.

I'd like to be able to implement a single test system.

I've used the solution for a few years. 

It's a stable, reliable solution. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good.

They can scale if it is required. 

We have more than 1,000 users on the solution right now.

Technical support is good. They are helpful and responsive.

Positive

Depending on your knowledge, the solution can be very easy or a bit complex to set up.

These are rack servers, so most of the time goes into acquiring them. Once you order them, it takes around four to eight weeks to get them. Once you get those servers, they can be deployed in a week or five days' time.

How many people you need for maintenance depends upon the technical guys as well as the applications themselves. If you're maintaining, then you just need two or three guys. However, it would take more resources if you talk about connectivity and application maintenance and other parts. It also depends upon the number of servers we have installed. 

The cost of the solution is high. There are other cheaper options.

There is no licensing. You pay for the solution once. 

We are currently comparing the solution to Lenovo.

We use it in-house and in a data center.

They need to make the product more scalable and price-efficient. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I would rate the solution seven out of ten. It needs to be a bit less expensive. 

Our IMS system, or internal information system, is run on the server. If we have some sort of issue with our student management system, then we run it on that server as well. 

The solution is very fast and the power consumption is great. 

Sometimes there will be a delay and it will take some time to restart the server.

The servers are a little bit huge, so it would be great if they could renew the size. Still, the Dell servers are comparatively large, but handling these servers, even just moving them or mounting them in the rack, is a huge challenge for us. If it is possible to reduce the size, that would be great.

We have been working with this solution for two or three years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. We have employees using this solution remotely and locally, so I believe there are more than 200 users. 

We have rarely had to work with the technical support team, but they are okay. We are satisfied with them. I would rate them an eight out of ten. 

Positive

The initial setup was not hard because our expert technicians handled it. It might be a little bit confusing to do the BIOS setup if you don't have much experience, but if you have expertise you can handle it. 

We handled deployment in-house with our own experts. We also have an internal team that deals with the maintenance of the solution, and it is very easy to maintain.

We have an annual license. 

We currently use both HPE BladeSystem and EMC from Dell. Personally, I prefer HPE because I have more experience with it. 

As a tech guy, I recommend HPE for heavy usage. If you need to use it for applications and multitasking purposes, I recommended HPE because you can simultaneously run different applications without any delays or issues.

I would rate this solution as an eight out of ten.
