We performed a comparison between HPE BladeSystem and HPE Superdome X based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."The benefit is the density and the capability for global harmonization on the hardware, because all the hardware chassis are the same. We can also purchase the same network cards too, chassis by chassis, so it gives us a global solution."
"Modularity is a key feature that provides energy saving ."
"It is very stable."
"The solution has high performance."
"The solution is very fast and the power consumption is great."
"The solution is scalable, offering flexibility and expansion options to meet changing business needs."
"Remote management features are valuable."
"The technical support is good."
"One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."
"I like the robustness of the machine. Similar performance could likely be achieved with other configurations, but this machine is very stable."
"We've got a few of them, because we needed some really large machines. So far, they've been working pretty good."
"This product is very reliable."
"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."
"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"If the hardware offered higher efficiency, that would be an ideal situation for our company."
"For me, the product is okay, but I would probably suggest improvement in their services or technical support. They need to work harder in the preventative maintenance of the system. They need to improve in terms of how quickly can we get attention and how quickly problems are resolved. Its price could also be lower."
"I would like OneView to go over the current limit of 40 instances."
"The tool must provide integration with the cloud."
"The price of the solution has room for improvement."
"The problem is that when want to expand with a new chassis, you have to do everything manually. It's not automatic."
"I'd like to see an all-in-one packet in the future."
"BladeSystem is an old-fashioned server and not very well developed for new features and new areas of data centers, which is not very good for enterprise companies."
"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online."
"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."
"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."
"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.""
"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."
