We performed a comparison between HPE NonStop and HPE Synergy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Blade Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The stability of HPE NonStop is good."
"Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."
"OneView, as a single point, a single management tool, it makes me delirious. It's really nice."
"In terms of managing our IT landscape, it helps by reducing complexity... We've taken one of our virtualization guys and turned him into a Synergy guy, and he's been able to understand the networking, he's been able to understand the OneView, he's been able to understand the Synergy. He manages all of those rather than our having to have multiple teams associated with it."
"The stability is very good. We haven't had any outages."
"As we purchase and install more Synergy chassis, then we will be able to manage them together as one entity, as opposed to multiple separate cabinets."
"They're easy to swap and move around the datacenter, for sure. They don't occupy too much space for what they offer."
"The product enables the centralization of all administrative tasks."
"It's a bit easier to manage than the C7000s."
"The initial setup is fine."
"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."
"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."
"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop."
"In the past, I have had issues with configurations."
"When templates are created, there are some steps where you need to reboot the machines. Being in production, this is not a good idea. For example, if you reconfigure the network, you should not have to reboot the machine. You should just apply the new template and that's it."
"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."
"I would really like a way to validate the firmware in my specific environment before trying to deploy it. Those were the issues we had early on with firmware upgrades, particularly around certificates. All in all, having some level of confidence aside from it just having been tested generically would help. Something more specific to my environment would be very helpful."
"We have flaky things, like a lot of bad fans."
"Instead of having Synergy vertical, make it horizontal. It is easier to stick in when it is vertical."
"I would like to see more nodes in a single chassis so we wouldn't have to purchase additional chassis."
"This solution could be improved by increasing the speed on the conversion adapters. It should be 100 gigs."
