HPE Synergy Pricing and License Cost

The platform that we run Synergy on is all virtualized. Our primary cost is likely VMware. View full review »

VMware is part of the cost. We bought the chassis, we bought the solution. The blades are roughly running us $60,000 a pop right now. View full review »

We do a biannual renewal. I know how much that renewal is, but I don't know how much it breaks down to be just Synergy, since we have our VMware, all of our physical equipment, etc. all rolled up into one renewal, which is a little over $300,000 every two years. However, only a subset of that is the Synergy product. There was at least about a 20 percent savings in cost over our purchase based on the purchase price of the compute modules themselves versus what we've had to pay before. It was significantly less.

The licensing is more around the software for RGS, because we are deploying bare metal installs. It is mainly the operating system and any lights-out management. So, licensing is minimum. We are licensing it annually. When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it. It reduced our IT infrastructure cost by a little because of the amount of capacity and it is bigger. I only have 12 blades in Synergy, where in the c7000, I had 16 blades. I lost four systems for customers in the way that we deploy systems. View full review »

After buying it, I don't think there are any costs other than for regular support. View full review »

The price point is a little high. We were able to get a good deal on a promotion, to go with it. It would be nice to see the prices come down a little bit. View full review »

We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on. This is in addition to the VMware and Microsoft licensing for the operating systems. Our IT infrastructure costs have not been affected by this solution. Most of our infrastructure surrounding and supporting Synergy was already purchased prior to it being set up. View full review »

The biggest cost is the VMware licensing. In our whole environment, the cost is in the millions. On this particular chassis, the annual cost is 12 blades times approximately $40,000. View full review »

We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff. View full review »
