We performed a comparison between HPE Superdome X and PowerEdge C 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."I like the robustness of the machine. Similar performance could likely be achieved with other configurations, but this machine is very stable."
"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"PowerEdge C is the best server I have worked with. I like that it's user-friendly. PowerEdge C performs very well."
"The scalability of the product is good since it offers high performance and capacity."
"Technical support has been helpful."
"It's a good product. Virtualization on it is good."
"I like the feature that allows for a backup and that is suitable for me."
"The performance is good."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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.""
"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."
"We had a few minor issues with compatibility on the latest version during the installation process."
"The product’s cost needs improvement."
"It would be better if the solution provided simplified storage and hardware with an integrated one-tier architecture."
"It would be easier if data center management and disaster recovery were combined."
"The current memory could be improved."
"The need to update the firmware and check if there is any bug in the product is one of the areas where Dell PowerEdge C falls short and needs to make improvements."
"The price must be improved."
"It should be improved in terms of future expansion. We should be able to have additional free slots for future extensions in terms of memory."
