"The initial setup is simple and straightforward.""Power Systems' best features are that it's reliable, stable, and easily available. It's also really scalable and can be virtualized without third-party software support.""IBM Power Systems are secure and have fast processing.""The main feature that I have found most valuable is PowerVM - its virtualization feature which is the most powerful.""IBM Power Systems' best features are its reliability, resilience, and performance per rack unit.""The most valuable feature of our machines is their ability to replace faulty parts without causing any downtime.""Power runs our resilient data systems, our high-end databases, stuff that can't go down.""Additionally, the processing power is far superior, especially with the RSA feature for reliability, serviceability, and availability."

Cons
"They should continue to maintain the stability that is there.""I would like to replace a hard drive that might be saved on the fly, on the server that I'm using currently, but I can't do that. I'm forced to power off my virtual machine, turn off the server, disconnect it from the power, replace the drive, rebuild the storage, and power it on again.""A better option would be same day support, not next business day.""The solution is a little bit expensive.""They are pretty solid servers, but, just like all servers, they become obsolete after some time. They can maybe provide a console to monitor the health of the servers. There should be some kind of console to which you can log in to remotely check on the health of a server, even when the server is off. The servers that we have are only scalable to some extent. They have got a limited amount of hard drive that you can insert. Their scalability should be improved.""In the HPE ProLiant DL Servers generation nine, there was a problem when the expansion cards were installed on the server. There was only a small amount of room for the top expansion cards that hand could insert or remove the cables inside.""HPE ProLiant DL Servers are customizable, but when you first deploy them, you basically have to rebuild configurations on them. This is true for large orders. But for small orders, you will be tied up with previous configurations of some other brand like Dell.""HPE ProLiant DL Servers could improve its portfolio, it could be more diverse because there is a limited number of them available. Dell, IBM, or Lenovo, have a better product portfolio that is diverse."

More HPE ProLiant DL Servers 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 →

"The pricing is high.""Sometimes, the availability of additional services can be a challenge. Certain IBM software takes time to deliver to the client. It can be slow.""The solution is quite expensive.""Everyone likes speed. Not that speed has been an issue up until now but you can never be too fast.""We have a problem with the storage software. The media to restore data is also not found.""The solution is highly-priced.""I would like to see IBM Power Systems integrate with all cloud types.""Power Systems' price could always be lower."

    Information Not Available

  • "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."
  • "It is designed for a large workload, as opposed to a small workload. For our circumstances, and even as an independent, I can't buy a Power system to experiment on. It can't happen. You cannot buy them."

  • "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."
