Find out in this report how the two Blade Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very fast and easy to use."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"We have what is called a chief data care center support. This is the highest level of support they have. We have been very happy with the support we have received."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"It's a bit easier to manage than the C7000s."
"It allows for easy management."
"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."
"The initial setup is fine."
"OneView, as a single point, a single management tool, it makes me delirious. It's really nice."
"It gives us ease of use. It's nice because we don't have to mess with networking once it's set up. Once it's done, we just put another blade in and go from there. We don't have to go back in, run more cables, deal with more data center stuff. We stick a blade in, use the server profile template, build out a server profile from that, and it just goes."
"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 converged network adapters."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"The manageability must be improved."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"HPE Integrity is a pain. HPE hasn't put much work into developing the solution in the past few years because it will be discontinued soon."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"One of the things that I would like to see, and could be in their road map, is getting virtual connect to 100 Gig throughput."
"The solution must concentrate on improving the product quality."
"I would like to see more nodes in a single chassis so we wouldn't have to purchase additional chassis."
"The post-sales activity needs improvement. There is some sort of convoluted spreadsheet that you have to fill in prior to the platform being delivered. It seems a little bit out-of-date and inefficient. Surely, there is some sort of web page configuration tool online that a customer could use. Then, it could be validated by somebody else, like a partner or HPE technical resource, then that would be a lot more efficient."
"Changes to the solution are quite complex."
"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."
"I would be more comfortable if Ansible actually rolled back the data used for automating platforms. If it could be communicated to the upstream Ansible, I wouldn't need to go back and forth and validate the libraries as we upgrade the Ansible version."
"Gen 11 is being released. That's going to have a lot of advantages over Gen 10 and previous generations in terms of the cooling modules in the servers to keep them cooler and run with more efficiency and better performance. There are more management features with iLO 6 and the latest OneView management."
