We implemented the solution in-house. A system administrator can repair any items that go bad during setup. The solution is not hard to manage with some experience.

Our company implements the solution for customers. Deployments are based on use cases or management strategies and are mixed between on-premises and the cloud. 

An implementation might include twelve compute nodes in one chassis and one frame. This might connect to a master module that provides connectivity for three frames. If you set it up correctly, all you have to do is add the compute node, create the server profile in OneView, and connect to the proper adapters. A server team then takes over to implement the operating system. 

Testing and implementation takes one day because you cooperate with teams to set up ports, switches, and internal or external storage. Implementation might take longer if there are many blades, frames, or tools connected to the environment for reporting, monitoring, and backup. A very complex implementation that requires cabling in a data center might take one week. 

Usually, we handle the deployments in-house, without the help of outside support from consultants or integrators. 

HPE Pointnext came out and did the initial configuration. Our experience with them was awesome. 

We used Tech Data for our deployment. They were very knowledgeable and quick to help us.

We handled the initial setup process ourselves. 

The deployment took one or two hours. A consultant from HPE helped us deploy the product. We needed one or two people to deploy the tool.

We did use Professional Services to help us deploy the Image Streamer and database back-end. They set it up and left. We had to reconfigure it and move it from rack to rack. That is when it broke, then we had to reengage those people again.

HPE Synergy is not difficult to maintain.

We have worked with the HPE technical team for Synergy cases. For example, for firmware upgrades, security purposes, and vulnerabilities.

We used a reseller, TIG. Our experience with them was great. They facilitated getting us pretty much all the information we needed.

We did it for ourselves.

We used a reseller, KDCC, for the deployment. They was great.

We used HPE’s Pointnext services to help move to this solution. They were great. The Professional Services of HPE were great. They came and set it up, making it an easy process.

We used a reseller - NWN. Our experience with them has been very good.

We used an integrator for the deployment. They were very good. They were able to get us in contact quickly with the right people when we had questions.

We had assistance from the vendor to deploy it.

We used a reseller. On a scale of one to five, five being excellent, our experience with the reseller was a four.

We use HPE Pointnext services to come out and change our bad drives.

We used an integrator for the deployment. Our experience with them was very good.

We used both a reseller and HPE for our deployment. 

We used a value-added reseller and hired the HPE installation services to come with the solution. They assisted us with setting it up, and the experience was quite good.

We bought it through our VAR, American Digital. But most of the people who came out were from HPE directly.

We used startup services for the deployment. The frustration with that was it was contracted out to third-party vendors, so it was sort of hit or miss for what you get with third-party vendors in terms of their knowledge. That was a bit frustrating. 

We will probably always buy the startup services. However, we will do the rack and stack along with most of the wiring in terms of the network and Fibre Channel. Then, we will let them run the interconnects through the actual configuration of the enclosure itself with the startup services links.

We used an HPE partner for the deployment. They were terrific.

We did not use a third-party.

We did a remote install, then we engaged a third-party partner of HPE (AdvizeX) to help us with the configuration. They were very good.

We used a Mexican integrator/reseller for the deployment, who was very good. They are one of my best suppliers.

We used an integrator for our deployment. We felt that they lacked in-depth knowledge of the product. They knew the service stuff, but if something went wrong then they didn't really know how to bring it back online.

We had HPE consultants and a VAR. We had about six people, four from HPE, two from our VAR, and our whole team working on it for a month to try to deploy it. It was a struggle.

We used ConRes for the deployment, and my experience with them has always been great.

It was deployed by a contractor. We have a technical team of about 20 people for its maintenance.

We had help from the local HPE office. If we had any questions, we were able to ask the technical guys from the local HPE office. I don't remember if we had any really big issues.

HPE was there all along the way. It was very good. They're very good to work with.

We used a reseller. We've always worked with Comport and they're a great partner.

We used a reseller, PCM, for the deployment. Our experience with them was excellent.

We did it with HPE Consultant Services. Our experience with them is always good. Very thorough. They have local resources onsite who have good knowledge of the product. They're able to answer our questions. It's always been a good experience.

We used a reseller and our experience with them was very good.

We worked directly with HPE. Our experience with them was good. They came to the table and really worked with us. We generated a lot of bug tickets and issues, so we had a lot of really challenging conversations. However, the fact that they were there to have those conversations is why we wanted them.

HPE has brought people to bear for the project that would likely have come out of a Pointnext engagement in other cases. However, we haven't directly done something with Pointnext services.

I implemented this solution by myself.

We deployed in-house.

We were direct through HPE.

Our reseller installed it; a third-party.

I do integration on behalf of the customer. 

We used a VAR for the initial deployment. Our experience with them was excellent. They knew the product. They had set it up before; it was very obvious. Their pre-planning was top-notch. We were very happy with them.

For the second deployment we did not use a third-party, we did that all in-house.

We used an integrator/reseller. They were solid.

We deploy with the help of HPE consultants. Our experience with the HPE consultants is very positive. They have been all over it, more so than the customer even.

We worked directly with HPE.

I handle the installations for clients. I'm an integrator.

Our deployment was handled by a Vendor Team, and they are very experienced.

HP implemented this solution.
