We performed a comparison between HPE NonStop and HPE Synergy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable."
"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."
"The initial setup is fine."
"Improved storage, scalability, and ease-of-use."
"It has improved our procurement and day zero provisioning. We are bringing in racks of Synergy which are not populated with the blades, then we are buying the blades and populating them, as our business needs. This has been pretty helpful to be able to sort of pre-package the data center with the Synergy platform, then deploy servers into it as we grow."
"Orchestrating automations is great because you can connect to other tools with the REST API and automate components."
"Being able to connect my 3PAR arrays to the Synergy platform is the most valuable aspect to me."
"It allows for easy management."
"The processing time has been about 50 times faster and allows us to do AI models."
"We bought it with the intent to replace the c7000 workstation blades. It is bigger than the workstation blades in core count, memory, and graphical capabilities. So, it has broadened us in that regard, and we have more capabilities."
"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."
"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."
"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop."
"One of the features I want to see, which I will see with OneView 5.0, is to have all the OneView consoles in a single pane of glass. That will make it easy to see everything in one place and not have to log in to multiple consoles."
"You can always improve some things."
"I would like the ability to have my storage components accessed from any other frame across the backplane. If we have a storage module and we run out of space in that frame, it'd be nice to be able to share it across the frames. You can do it with hyperconverged. Why can't you do it with Synergy?"
"They have not improved their product since it was purchased."
"This solution could be improved by increasing the speed on the conversion adapters. It should be 100 gigs."
"Over the two years of using HPE Synergy, we have found some hardware failures that are frequent in the SOP models, CNA cards, and converged network adapters. These failures are frequently happening for a lot of the customers."
"There is always room for improvement. Based on our use cases, I don't believe there are any additional features required."
"When templates are created, there are some steps where you need to reboot the machines. Being in production, this is not a good idea. For example, if you reconfigure the network, you should not have to reboot the machine. You should just apply the new template and that's it."
