Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"The composable infrastructure allows us to build our own server profiles, then build up the infrastructure that we need from compute modules."
"We have been able to give the deployment team what they request more quickly. We are able to quickly deploy what is being asked of us. If the development team needs a platform of 20 servers to run a particular platform, we can give that to them within a day or two."
"Everything is combined in one chassis, you have storage, compute, networking. So you save a lot of space in the datacenter."
"Shorter delivery times. Where we now have a delivery time of about six weeks, we hope to go back to days."
"The most valuable features are the evolution of our existing HPE portfolio, the integration with our existing tool sets, and the enhanced capabilities that OneView bring."
"It is really easy to use, because it's GUI-based. It is not command line based, like mainframes."
"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."
"It's very scalable. We like the idea that we can put four chassis in one of our racks, and we can connect up to 25 chassis, so the scalability to us, and being able to sync all those into one management portal, is unheard of. You can't really sync that many blades and chassis together in any other platform."
"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."
"The only issue that we had was our rack was too small. The product is heavy, so it took a lot to get it in there."
"The update is problematic. When you want to update the firmware, or when you want to update software on Composer, it takes a lot of time. A lot."
"There is always room for improvement. Based on our use cases, I don't believe there are any additional features required."
"The performance could be better. The converged network cards initially didn't work. However, later on in the newer version, they came up with 50 GB network cards to replace the 20 GB ones, and it's perfectly fine now. At times, it could also be more stable."
"They were not so deep into integration with VMware."
"I would definitely like to see them fix the firmware updates on all the blades. No matter what operating system it is running on, make sure I can do the firmware as well as the software for those firmware components at the same time. I don't want to have to rely on an external product. Let's bring that product inside the menu so that I have a better experience with updates."
"This solution could be improved by increasing the speed on the conversion adapters. It should be 100 gigs."
"We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations."
