PowerEdge C Reviews

The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect for our organization. We really like how user-friendly it is.

The management is excellent and also very straightforward.

The security of the product is very good.

We found the pricing to be quite fair. It's not overly expensive.

The upgrades for the solution are very good. It continues to add useful features to the product with every new release.

Overall, it offers a lot of good features for the industry. I don't recall any that are lacking per se.

We had a few minor issues with compatibility on the latest version during the installation process.

I've been using the solution for eight to ten years at this point. It's been almost a decade. I've used it for quite a while.

The solution is quite stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's quite good.

The solution scales very well. If a company needs to expand it, they can do so easily.

The organizations we work with vary in size and it scales to meet any organization's needs. Some have thousands of users, for example.

Technical support has been very knowledgeable and responsive. They're good. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide us.

The setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly complex in any way. The product's servers are easy to install. You can install it easily on VMware if you want to.

There were a few minor issues with compatibility, however, other than that, it was a good experience.

The cost of the solution is reasonable. It's a good selling point for Dell. They keep it competitive.

We're Dell partners. We have a business relationship with the company.

We're using almost the entire series. We use a variety of versions of the solution.

Overall, I would rate it at a nine out of ten.

On-premises

IBM

It's a good product. Virtualization on it is good.

It should be improved in terms of future expansion. We should be able to have additional free slots for future extensions in terms of memory.

I'm not working on that. My team is working on that. We've been using it in our company for a long time.

It's stable.

It's scalable. We can extend a node on HVI.

They are good.

It was straightforward. 

I'd rate it an eight out of ten.

I was running them as hosts for my virtual or private cloud — we were hosting several servers, virtual servers.

The management platform is great.

I can't think of anything that needs to be improved at the moment. A lot of evolution is occurring with Blade PowerEdge, including, what call, the blade servers. The VxRail should be opened to allow other virtualization platforms to be used. 

I have been using PowerEdge C for over 10 years.

PowerEdge C is very stable. We hardly experience any downtime. 

In terms of scalability, as long as the infrastructure is set up well, adding a host to the environment is very easy — I don't see any issues with that. A lot depends on the design that you put in place. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give the technical support a rating of eight. I am very satisfied with them.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

PowerEdge C is very expensive, but personally, I think it's worth the price.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven. If they lowered the price, I would give them a higher rating.

On-premises

• Good management tool – the overall management is simplified with Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) • It is cheaper than similar products from other vendors. • Reduced power consumption • It supports up to 12 LFF or 24 SFF hot plug-in SAS. • The nodes are hot swappable. • Good warranty and support services.

I don't see the possibility of mixing LFF drives with SFF drives in a particular machine.The PowerEdge C series is a racked server good for enterprise data-centers or even cloud services. We deployed four PowerEdge C6100 when we needed to reduce the power consumption and the amount of heat generated in our data-center. In the long run, we discovered that we have succeeded in reducing the space occupied by our old PowerEdge 2900. We also noticed improved performance and simplified maintenance.

Each of the PowerEdge C6100's can accommodate either 12 LFF or 24 SFF hard disk drives. This is a major improvement compared to what we used to have. PowerEdge C6100 is totally independent with its own monitor port, serial port, USB port, and NICs.

I have found the compression capability the most valuable feature.

A feature that needs to be added is the ability for full container storage.

I have been using this solution for more than a year.

The price of the solution is reasonable.

There could be some more ports added in the future.

I have been using the solution for approximately five years.

We have not had any problems for stability.

The scalability of the solution met our needs.

The installation is not complicated.

I rate MS - PowerEdge C a seven out of ten.

On-premises

- Perfect virtualization server, as it has 4 Intel Xeon 7500 sockets and 64 DIMM slots to utilize 1TB of RAM. - R910 utilizes Intel’s RAS (Machine check architecture) feature which monitors hardware errors and recovers from them, which provides advanced reliability for critical applications. We are using these servers for our Oracle databases, web applications, and terminal services, and are very happy with it. - Server has a dual Secure Digital (SD) non-volatile memory card for hypervisor failover and VMWare ESXi, which can be installed directly on this card for redundancy. - The 4U Rack server was intelligently designed, as all components are easily reachable and also have a lot of room for expansion. Dell has designed this system to be tool-less and so for any maintenance, you don’t need a screw driver. - IDRAC6 connectivity enables our administrators to manage the servers remotely.

We have been using R910 servers in our data center for 2 years and have not encountered any serious issue.

PowerEdge R910 is a powerful machine which supports 1TB RAM and takes advantage of its Nehalem EX processing power using 4 sockets including 32 cores. We strongly recommend R910 for efficient and scalable server infrastructure.
