HPE ProLiant DL Servers Pros and Cons

iLO, in particular, helps us manage the servers better, especially as a lot of them are remote from where the IT staff are. We have some locations where we just have not got IT presence at those locations, so iLO really helps with that.

When we need to, we can get through to technical support and get the right person.

​It is very stable. I can rate it as a 99.99% stable server from HPE.​ There is zero downtime, especially in the ProLiant 380 series.​

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. ​

There is a lot of extra storage. I am only using half of what I need.

HPE offers the products we need. They come back with solutions. It's uncomplicated to deal with HPE.

This solution is very scalable. When we bought the DL580, we bought it with full capacity. It is great for our business.

​We use HPE Datacenter support, and it is good support. It is automatic support. When I have a problem, the question is written automatically.​

We decided to switch because this solution provides more memory density.

A better option would be same day support, not next business day.

If they could put a SAN storage or resend it in the same product, it would be very helpful and more powerful.

We'd like to see better processors, better Intel processors. That's the most important for us at this moment.

It's scalable but we are switching to workstation for some software because the CPU speed isn't fast enough anymore.
