Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."Basically, in a cluster, it works really nicely, especially within a cluster environment. Also, it's easily configurable."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of management with the hardware."
"They are very fast and very reliable. They are working under very tough conditions."
"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."
"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."
"One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"It is really stable, however the motherboard sometimes crashes."
"The latest version of this system is called Synergy from HPE, and it comes with more advanced features. This is currently the most advanced solution available in the market. One of its key features is its energy efficiency, which optimizes energy usage."
"OA updates and upgrades have to be made simpler."
"They are not selling BladeSystem anymore. The end of the sale of this platform was this year, 2020."
"Some part of virtual connections needs improvement."
"Higher bandwidth interconnects could be introduced."
"The solution could improve by having more automation, such as the automatic mapping feature that is available in the Synergy Blade series."
"HPE BladeSystem can improve by providing the latest generation processor engine, such as the I-Flex processor."
"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 know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."
"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."
"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online."
