Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability.""Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."

More Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series Pros →

"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.""We've got a few of them, because we needed some really large machines. So far, they've been working pretty good.""SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications.""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.""One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."

Cons
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex.""It can have more automation. In addition, Fujitsu should have a broader portfolio, not specifically in terms of the service solutions, but more in terms of the big picture. A broader portfolio would be nice for providing different solutions for the customers."

More Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series Cons →

"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online.""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."""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.""I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported.""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.""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."

  • "No license is required to operate the product."
  • More Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is a very expensive one-time cost with no licensing fees."
  • "The pricing is not very cheap. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very inexpensive, and ten being very expensive."
