We performed a comparison between HPE BladeSystem and HPE Superdome X based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."Wide choice in mixing SAN and LAN."
"With just one cable, for redundancy let's say two, you can feed sixteen servers in a single c7000 chassis."
"The product is quite stable. Its performance is reliable."
"The solution uses a smaller space in our data centers. It uses less feeder and network cable, which reduces costs."
"I have noticed that the solution does provide a very good ROI for companies."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of HPE BladeSystem is simplified management."
"The product has been simple to set up."
"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."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"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."
"One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."
"I like the robustness of the machine. Similar performance could likely be achieved with other configurations, but this machine is very stable."
"This product is very reliable."
"HPE BladeSystems is an old technology that cannot fit all of the dynamic organizational needs of our company."
"Storage capacity could be enhanced."
"It is really stable, however the motherboard sometimes crashes."
"The other similar solutions used different CLI commands than HPE BladeSystem. The HPE BladeSystem CLI commands should be the same as the other companies which would make it easier to manage. It would be better for the system administrators to manage HPE BladeSystem and other systems together. I wanted to configure this service with the CLI but the commands are different than the other solutions making it a bit more difficult."
"HPE BladeSystem that we are using is currently very old. It's not too good. We haven't renewed it. I would like the solution to have more updates."
"The scalability is limited because you only have a 16-server by chassis."
"It may be coming to its end of life."
"It will be discontinued so we will have to change to another product shortly."
"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."
"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.""
"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."
"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online."
"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."
