Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo and others in Rack Servers."The storage and the disc performance in terms of IOPS is great."
"The scalability of the Dell XR2 Rugged Server is good and easy to do."
"Very practical and easy to maintain."
"It is very stable. This is the feedback that I'm getting from my customers for the hardware. It is also 100% scalable. HPE is also very specialized when it comes up to the server industry. It is not only about the rack servers; it is also about the blade servers. They were the first ones to bring these to the market more than ten years ago."
"The feature that I find the most valuable is that all alerts are integrated with HPE InfoSight. Any problem related to an HPE server can be solved remotely at L1, L2 level."
"The ProLiant DL Servers are stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is scalability."
"The scalability is very high in 380, so instead of using the high-end servers, you can use multiple servers and segregate the applications between the servers. "
"I am impressed with the tool’s stability."
"The product is compatible and flexible for small and medium businesses."
"It lacks a modular option to expand to a 16-bay system."
"Dell XR2 Rugged Server could improve if there was more customization allowed."
"HPE ProLiant DL Servers are not scalable."
"Configurations could be simplified."
"Not all of the hardware is completely up-to-date."
"I want to improve hyper-converged sites."
"If they could put a SAN storage or resend it in the same product, it would be very helpful and more powerful."
"The price of this solution should be lowered to make it more competitive."
"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 overall cost of the product needs to be lower, as it is one of the areas of concern in the product."
