We performed a comparison between Huawei KunLun Mission Critical Server and IBM Power Systems based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo and others in Rack Servers."Features like partitions are useful."
"The backups work great, data recovery works great."
"The performance is the solution's most valuable asset. It has one of the highest levels of performance I have ever seen. It's quite remarkable, in that sense."
"The SMT that they've improved has really helped open up boundaries for other applications that can use it."
"The solution does not require any maintenance."
"Power Systems' best features include its user-friendliness and self-checking/self-healing abilities."
"When it comes to reliability, availability and profitability, nothing can beat IBM Power Systems."
"Active Memory Expansion allows you to compress your memory on the run time to allow you to have less physical memory available, but provision more memory to your partitions, as everything will be compressed on the fly."
"We've been using it for a long time, and it's stable."
"Support can be better."
"Its price can be improved. It is too high."
"If you take advantage of some of these real advanced features, for oversubscribing as an example, it's not supported on Linux on Power. So that stops us, in particular, from going that way."
"One of the features that we would like, and I think they are also adapting to the latest trends in the market, is to make it more open, more flexible... With VMware, anybody can create a virtual machine without any knowledge of the server side. But with AIX it's a bit difficult."
"I think IBM needs a little more work on managing the overall environment with eliminating Systems Director."
"Better manage heterogeneous footprints of all the different operating systems that are out there across one common interface."
"There are improvements that can be made on the technical side."
"IBM should be more flexible with marketing or offer marketing events themselves and invite the partners to attend. That might be far more productive."
"It does not offer the ability to run any X86 or X64 Intel architecture-based application on Power Systems. There are a lot of applications, lots of business use cases that do not support this architecture as of now. If somehow application tasks can be ported on to IBM Power Systems, that would be a big improvement."
