Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is quite stable. We didn't have a single downtime of failure. Nor have we ever experienced any downtime in electrical components or the hardware. In this way, the server is reliable.""We can pull out elements and change them ourselves.""They are incredibly valuable because they are both user-friendly and powerful for managing hardware.""What we like the most is the stability. Without shutdowns, our VMs and servers are up and running fine.""I've been consistently impressed by the exceptional build quality of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers.""What truly impresses me about Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers is their unwavering commitment to customer service, providing great assistance throughout the entire product lifecycle.""They are very stable. They are rock solid. I am happy with them.""Their support is very good and very effective."

"The performance is the solution's most valuable asset. It has one of the highest levels of performance I have ever seen. It's quite remarkable, in that sense.""Power runs our resilient data systems, our high-end databases, stuff that can't go down.""The SMT that they've improved has really helped open up boundaries for other applications that can use it.""When it comes to reliability, availability and profitability, nothing can beat IBM Power Systems.""The backups work great, data recovery works great.""IBM Power Systems' best features are its reliability, resilience, and performance per rack unit.""The most valuable feature of IBM Power Systems is its performance.""BM Power Systems get updated every two years and are scalable and stable."

Cons
"I would like to see a virtual view of the solution after creating and configuring it.""The solution could improve by making the warranty policy better, which is a little bit complex because our local service partner Smart Technologies has long delays. Whenever we open any case for any customer, it takes more than five days. If we could handle it by ourselves, we could have the issue solved in one day. They should work on a way to fix these delays.""There needs to be more flexibility for business options.""From the licensing model perspective, it might be useful for enterprises to get an overall enterprise license, rather than licensing each server. That is one option because we tend to buy the service with the licenses, but some of our older equipment does not have them.""This solution helped us reduce our rack footprint. It reduced our power consumption including size and weight.""On the MX7000 platform, they should continue to release better and faster blades.""Perhaps they could make it more power efficient. They're pretty good, but there's always room for improvement. Also, they could try to reduce heat generation.""The rate controller interface is difficult to get to without installing additional software. It would be helpful if they had preinstalled software to make that easily accessible."

"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 →

"I would like to see IBM Power Systems integrate with all cloud types.""I would like to see firmware available to all of the systems.""The solution is quite expensive.""The pricing of the product could always be lowered.""The lack of software vendors moving onto the platform, as opposed to fleeing the platform, is an issue.""I think IBM needs a little more work on managing the overall environment with eliminating Systems Director.""The scalability process should be simplified.""No available price list is on the web. Due to this, the customer cannot compare pricing."

    Information Not Available
  • "Why should I be charged for that use rather than a single CPU, a single socket?"
  • "The cost model is great. There is so much built in to the technology, that if you know how to use it you can save yourself a lot of money."

  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "Its price is too high."
  • "Its price depends on the sizing."
  • "The pricing of the solution is very good because we can beat any other competitor with the pricing. Lately, they have offered good pricing for their customer."
