"The most valuable features of HPE ProLiant DL Servers are very high quality."
"The pricing of the product is fair and not too expensive."
"HPE ProLiant DL Servers are easy to maintain. When we need to update the firmware or we need to log on remotely via the IO management interface. It's very convenient, easy. The supply chain is fast when we need to replace some failed hardware, such as hard drives or power supplies. Most of the time, it only takes a few days. The HPE ProLiant DL Servers services are officially certified for Red Hat usage which is a big advantage."
"It is a stable solution."
"It lacks a modular option to expand to a 16-bay system."
"Dell XR2 Rugged Server could improve if there was more customization allowed."

"Not all of the hardware is completely up-to-date."
"Its management console could be better."
"The servers should include OneView for intelligence provisioning."
"ProLiant servers could be more scalable. For example, some models can only contain four hard drives, but many of our customers expect six. If they were to add another extendable hard drive slot, it would be easier to sell the servers to our customers."
"Sometimes, there are connectivity issues and the server is not able to connect to our SAN."
"The scalability of Gen8 models should be improved. They can also improve its price."
"My customers are tilted toward GPU users, and the mixed version of the enabled hard drives require — flash drives, SSD, NNL, and PLAS — all mixed and matched in a single box. These are requirements I've already shared with the HPE account manager."
