Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"Great flexibility including configuring the interconnects on the use of the chassis."
"There is no problem with the scalability."
"The benefit is that it's going to be maintained, contrary to what we had last year, when the maintenance went off for the last generation of the servers that we had there."
"We like that the solution can be arranged for an all-in-one single pane of glass, something our customers find important."
"Orchestrating automations is great because you can connect to other tools with the REST API and automate components."
"Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"The solution helps us to implement new business requirements quickly with some app deployments."
"The most valuable feature is its composable infrastructure. Everything I need is in the box. Manageability is through OneView, so I can get all the information about the box itself at any time I want."
"It can have more automation. In addition, Fujitsu should have a broader portfolio, not specifically in terms of the service solutions, but more in terms of the big picture. A broader portfolio would be nice for providing different solutions for the customers."
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
"Its management needs some work. It is not the best in terms of management. It has decent management. Its user interface can also be better."
"Synergy could probably do some code enhancements to simplify the deployment a bit more."
"Having a seamless DR implementation would help significantly."
"It has affected the productivity of our development team in a bad way. When we first stood the hardware up 18 months ago, the image streaming capacity and capability were not very good at all. We had hoped that it would allow us to be more composable and be able to switch over from one version of an operating system to another version of an operating system. However, it wasn't ready for prime time yet. Therefore, we had to go back to a deployment of bare metal install. We are still waiting and trying to figure out how we can do the composable infrastructure."
"Sometimes there are firmware or software difficulties when connecting between networks or with storage."
"It has been in the external integrations to other platforms that we have, which aren't HPE, where some of our challenges have been. I would like to see some integrations with non-HPE platforms."
"Over the two years of using HPE Synergy, we have found some hardware failures that are frequent in the SOP models, CNA cards, and converged network adapters. These failures are frequently happening for a lot of the customers."
"I would like it to connect to the HPE Cloud Connect compute platform for simplicity of our infrastructure."
