We performed a comparison between HPE ProLiant DL Servers and Oracle SPARC Servers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rack Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup was easy and not complicated."
"The scalability is very high in 380, so instead of using the high-end servers, you can use multiple servers and segregate the applications between the servers. "
"The most valuable features of HPE ProLiant DL Servers are very high quality."
"The ProLiant DL Servers are stable and reliable."
"Support is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Where there is a need to actually expand on the capacity, it's easily done, especially when more memory is needed."
"It's flexible."
"We have had no issues with the stability of the product."
"I have found the LDAP facilities most valuable. In addition, I like the CPU."
"Our customers are happy with many features in Oracle SPARC Servers, like the automatic ASR feature."
"The operating system is rock solid and the best I have ever used."
"The Oracle server is very powerful. They are more powerful and durable compared to Intel hardware. Which has been a benefit to our organization."
"The performance is the best feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that Oracle Database functions very well with Oracle SPARC Servers."
"The processor is very helpful and the licensing is very flexible."
"They should build risc processors with high speed."
"They can increase the controller cache. Currently, it has a controller cache of up to 4 GB. The RAID controller card comes with a maximum of 4 GB cache in HPE servers, whereas it comes with a maximum of 8 GB cache in Dell servers. They can also improve the port size. HP provides a 25 GB port on the server, whereas both Dell and Cisco provide a 100 GB port."
"The technical support is pretty good, however, they could be a bit faster and more responsive."
"They should work with Microsoft to make licensing costs better. That's because the physical servers have processors with all these cores, and Microsoft now licenses Windows virtual server desktops based on the number of cores and the serving servers. So, if you got to build 10 or 20 servers on that desktop, you got to license them all with Microsoft. They should have a partnership with Microsoft to decrease the virtual licensing of servers in partnerships so that when you purchase the servers, you also get licensing for Microsoft on top of them. That's because it gets very expensive to license virtual operating systems to run on physical servers."
"The technical support response time has room for improvement."
"The installation could be simplified."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive to be more competitive."
"We would like to see remote monitoring capabilities added."
"Like IBM, Oracle SPARC Servers should be able to run other open operating systems like Linux."
"They have declared the end of life of the hardware."
"I would like to see a reduced price point."
"Oracle SPARC Servers should be fine-tuned well enough to work with the other servers and software products in the market, as it is an area where Oracle SPARC Servers lack."
"The solution could improve by giving a clear roadmap about the future. I'm not seeing a lot of improvements on the OS side of the software. They need to work more on the operating system."
"They need some sort of modeling because IBM has different types of models."
"Oracle doesn't have a good roadmap for the solution because they are moving to the x86 platform."
