Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"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."
"OneView, as a single point, a single management tool, it makes me delirious. It's really nice."
"It makes it simpler for me to manage my environment. It is one pane of glass, compared to multiple."
"Valuable features include its dependability, reliability, and the ease of managing the system."
"Where it used to take one week to re-image or upgrade our hosts, it can now take one day."
"The solution help us to implement new business requirements quickly, since it is easy and quick to upgrade our capacity."
"It allows for easy management."
"We build out a whole stack at one time, so we don't have to worry about it until that stack is full, then that gives us time to get the next one ready."
"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."
"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."
"The post-sales activity needs improvement. There is some sort of convoluted spreadsheet that you have to fill in prior to the platform being delivered. It seems a little bit out-of-date and inefficient. Surely, there is some sort of web page configuration tool online that a customer could use. Then, it could be validated by somebody else, like a partner or HPE technical resource, then that would be a lot more efficient."
"The speed in OneView and how it updates the entire configuration needs improvement. If they can do that, and it could be a little more clear on what impact different actions will have for certain things, that would be good."
"The update is problematic. When you want to update the firmware, or when you want to update software on Composer, it takes a lot of time. A lot."
"Because we're using 2012, we're having issues making templates."
"Technical support was time consuming and unsatisfactory. The initial product setup was complex, lasing around three weeks to a month."
"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."
"The only good thing is that they have some powerful machines that you can use, such as the latest generations of HPE Compute that you can use."
