I need to pay for the license, and it is expensive. We make yearly payments.

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.

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 price of HPE BladeSystem is less expensive than some other solutions, such as Dell. The cost of replacement equipment is expensive.

The cost of the solution is high. There are other cheaper options. There is no licensing. You pay for the solution once.

The prices right now for HP are high. It has the highest price if you compare it with other solutions like Dell, for example. That said, I don't directly deal with contracts and can't speak to the exact cost.

HPE is not the cheapest solution but if you want to buy a Rolls Royce, it costs. They are the most expensive product on the market. It's been 10 years since we implemented it, so I don't remember the licensing cost.

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 for large enterprises. Medium-sized companies would find it difficult to afford the HPE BladeSystem's overall capital expenses.

The price of the product was a bit on the high side. You do have to pay for the hardware and a yearly licensing fee.

Items which are more cost-effective have a greater tendency to be refurbished. This is why I don't really consider the pricing to be problematic. This said, it would make everyone happy if the solution were less expensive.

Its pricing was good. We selected this solution because it was within our budget. We paid just once when we bought it. We never bought any license.

It is expensive. There are no additional costs. We are able to get good discounts anyway from HPE, but if the price can come down, we'll be happy.

I don't know the exact cost of licensing, however, it's my understanding that the solution is relatively expensive.

It is not expensive, really, in this class of server products, but as a customer, we always hope that the pricing could be lower.

For anybody planning to use the c7000 for virtualization, I strongly advise you to use half-height servers. This gives the advantage of using sixteen Blades in a single chassis.

It's quite expensive for the initial purchase. The chassis itself, with no blade server inside, so expensive. The C7000 model costs around $100,000.

HP ProLiant BladeSystem share power, cooling, network, and storage infrastructure via the blade enclosure. Since equipment is not needed for each server, you get a dramatic reduction in power distribution units, power cables, LAN and SAN switches, connectors, adapters, and cables. And you can add the newest-generation technologies by simply changing individual components.
