Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."The most valuable feature of Dell PowerEdge M is iDRAC."
"The solution offers remarkable flexibility, reliability, and extensive software support."
"It helps us to manage multiple chassis from a single website."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution integrated well."
"It's great for managing overall infrastructure."
"The solution is made with high-quality hardware."
"I have compared Dell EMC to other solutions and have found it to be good. The SAN and LAN traffic, manageability, and upgradability are all good."
"I like the robustness of the machine. Similar performance could likely be achieved with other configurations, but this machine is very stable."
"One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."
"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"We've got a few of them, because we needed some really large machines. So far, they've been working pretty good."
"Superdome X is a system that can compete in terms of performance and uptime, but it's now standard. That is the great value. There are competitors like IBM, for example, but IBM has a propietary operating system. With Superdome X, you have a system that can run Windows, Red Hat, or VMware, but in a mission critical server."
"This product is very reliable."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"It requires time to transition to the new generation."
"Technical support is not good."
"We have had some issues with the vendor's support that we have received. When you open up a support case with Dell they send a partner to assist you and in our experience, they are lacking knowledge about the solution. There are times when you need professional support from the vendor that knows the solution well."
"The set up is complex"
"In terms of improvement, it should also offer a hyper-converged option."
"Can be improved by being proactive in making changes that could improve the solution."
"More interconnections with third party equipment and limited I/O selection."
"I would like to have additional HPC and AI capabilities on general Dell PowerEdge servers."
"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online."
"What would make it better from my point of view is if HPE spent more time on testing with the actual built-in Red Hat Linux drivers, as opposed to always trying to say, "Use our driver.""
"HPE Superdome X can improve by adding a lot of cloud capabilities to allow this solution to be cloud-ready in case the customer wants to move it to the cloud."
"I'd like to see the onboarding of some storage class memory to really expand the already very large RAM, into something that could be even much bigger."
"I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."
"In this specific model, it could be beneficial to have a server configuration similar to Cisco, like the kind offered in HPE Superdome Flex X280. The ability to separate the chassis is important because we are forced to use two chassis even with lower loads. So introducing more flexibility in the Superdome environment would be helpful."
