Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Apollo Systems provide stuff that standard services do not. More HTDs, more compute power, at very reasonable pricing.""It's pretty flexible. You can choose how much storage you put on the server. You can have one to three nodes, depending on whether you want more CPU or storage.""It enables us to implement software defined solutions very easily, because Apollo servers are certified for use with Linux systems""When we moved to the Apollo and all flash drives, we gained a lot of performance.""With HPE Apollo, we can propose configurations with many hard drives, making it suitable for large storage needs.""It's going to meet our needs moving forward, it is scalable.""HPE Apollo's pricing is low, and implementation is very easy compared to other products.""we can use the same platform for several use cases: Hadoop, Ceph, and we are considering the server for another use case right now. It's a single solution, we only have to integrate it once and we can use it for several technologies."

"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."

"It uses well known architecture and it's easy to develop for.""It is stable and easy to manage.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is more stable than AMD for VMware."

Cons
"Lustre seems to be just a little bit unstable overall.""The solution's deployment, security, and scalability need improvement.""We could, perhaps, use more GPUs in the future, go from eight to 16 GPUs per instance. That could run head-to-head against the DGX-1, the DGX-2 that NVIDIA has developed in their own chassis. That would be interesting to see.""We are quite happy with it, but its price and storage density can be better.""The predictive analysis feature could be improved.""We have tried to used standardization using Ubuntu Linux and it's been hard. They had some difficulties getting the RAID configuration up and running because there are no drivers for it. It's not supported by HPE.""The technical support from HPE has always been good in my experience.""If there could be some training for our team, we would be better equipped to promote and support HPE Apollo."

More HPE Apollo Cons →

"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."

More Huawei FusionServer RH Series Rack Servers Cons →

"When you have an Intel Server System, the prices may be much higher since it is a different processor, making the solution's pricing part one of its shortcomings where improvements are required.""We have to scale it ourselves but it scales. It depends on the software because it's mostly the hardware platform that Intel is managing.""The shipment time can be improved. When we order Intel products, we have to wait for a long time. They can increase the local services and engineers in China. Local engineers will be able to know and understand customer problems much better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Obviously I would like to see the cost go down. That speaks for itself."
  • "The price of the solution is more expensive than Dell which is their main competitor. However, there are times we have managed to receive a comparable price."
  • "There is an annual license required to use HPE Apollo."
  • "It is an expensive solution but it is worth the money. The standard licensing cost is for the GPU and the features that someone is using. There are additional charges but they depend on the solution."
  • "Compared to other products, HPE Apollo is not an expensive solution."
