"The storage and the disc performance in terms of IOPS is great."
"HPE ProLiant DL Servers are a great product. We don't have many complaints."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It's very easy to set up."
"Our monitoring tool has a database, so we need a server with a fast IO."
"We decided to switch because this solution provides more memory density."
"When we need to, we can get through to technical support and get the right person."
"This solution is perfect. From the time of purchase, it was state-of-the-art, and still, after five, 10 years, they still meet our demands extremely well."
"We get good performance with HPE ProLiant DL Servers. They are really stable. We run all our applications smoothly. We have no problem at all."
"It lacks a modular option to expand to a 16-bay system."
"Dell XR2 Rugged Server could improve if there was more customization allowed."
"The price of this solution should be lowered to make it more competitive."
"I would like to replace a hard drive that might be saved on the fly, on the server that I'm using currently, but I can't do that. I'm forced to power off my virtual machine, turn off the server, disconnect it from the power, replace the drive, rebuild the storage, and power it on again."
"The technical support response time has room for improvement."
"They should build risc processors with high speed."
"There are concerns about the HPE team in the Southeast Asia region, suggesting a need for improvements in terms of responsiveness. There have been instances where the response time was slow, causing challenges during urgent situations. Its stability also needs to improve."
"They should work with Microsoft to make licensing costs better. That's because the physical servers have processors with all these cores, and Microsoft now licenses Windows virtual server desktops based on the number of cores and the serving servers. So, if you got to build 10 or 20 servers on that desktop, you got to license them all with Microsoft. They should have a partnership with Microsoft to decrease the virtual licensing of servers in partnerships so that when you purchase the servers, you also get licensing for Microsoft on top of them. That's because it gets very expensive to license virtual operating systems to run on physical servers."
"I want to improve hyper-converged sites."
"When it comes to security there can always be room for improvement. If there was an option to build security into the system it would be an advantage."
