Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The speed of the backups and having the system be immune to ransomware are the main advantages.""HPE ProLiant DL Servers are a great product. We don't have many complaints.""I recommend HP ProLiant. It's a robust and scalable product.""The solution is stable.""The pricing of the product is fair and not too expensive.""It's very easy to set up.""HP ProLiant servers provide redundant solutions for almost everything. You can set up multiple power supplies, with a primary power source and a secondary power supply connected on UPS. If the power goes out in the building, the UPS will supply power to the host at all times. The solution can run on batteries for many hours, depending on your battery and UPS capacity.""Its management, IOs, and stability are the most valuable features. It works fine. It has all the features of a typical server. All that can be done has already been done."

"It uses well known architecture and it's easy to develop for.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is more stable than AMD for VMware.""It is stable and easy to manage."

Cons
"The solution could improve by providing more best practices from an architectural point of view. What are some recommended configurations for use, such as in a VM environment? HP provides some best practices but they are based on VMware, not on Red Hat. It would benefit for others to see the different use cases. How the HPE ProLiant DL Servers were used in the context of Red hat virtualization, and some configurations as an example to allow us to identify some points that we can improve in our platform. We could make our system more reliable and scalable.""The price of the solution could be less expensive to be more competitive.""It is too expensive. Its price should be improved. The system admin interface should have better visibility while troubleshooting a problem, even when the problem is coming from the application.""It's scalable but we are switching to workstation for some software because the CPU speed isn't fast enough anymore.""We found that the extensions could be improved and the price could be a little lower.""In the HPE ProLiant DL Servers generation nine, there was a problem when the expansion cards were installed on the server. There was only a small amount of room for the top expansion cards that hand could insert or remove the cables inside.""Not all of the hardware is completely up-to-date.""They should improve the solution's built-in quality."

"The shipment time can be improved. When we order Intel products, we have to wait for a long time. They can increase the local services and engineers in China. Local engineers will be able to know and understand customer problems much better.""When you have an Intel Server System, the prices may be much higher since it is a different processor, making the solution's pricing part one of its shortcomings where improvements are required.""We have to scale it ourselves but it scales. It depends on the software because it's mostly the hardware platform that Intel is managing."
