The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not a complex process.

The setup and deployment took maybe an hour or so. 

You need two people for deployment and maintenance.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution's complete deployment phase takes two to three days. There is a lot of work to complete the migration part.

It is easy to set up the solution. It's not complex. 

You do need training, however, I have done this for 20 years and I am well versed in the technology. For me, it isn't a problem. The intake solution isn't difficult.

The solution's initial setup was complicated as we needed to gain technical knowledge. Also, we had to invest in additional self-learning experiences. The deployment process took us about three to six months to complete.

It's very easy to set up and energy-efficient. It's very compact and has enough connections on the front and back of the rack. I'm very satisfied with this product.

We have one rack with five rack servers and some data storage, so physical deployment takes one day.

OM
System Administrator at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

From an administrative perspective, the initial setup is absolutely straightforward. From a user's perspective, it not so straightforward if you want to add some features. The old servers don't have the stability needed to manage the storage from the remote management tool; it's not really comfortable, but still usable. It's absolutely fine when setting up the server.

The basic setup takes less than one hour. It depends on where the servers are deployed from and how ready the server is. I mostly work remotely, so I am not hands-on with the server. Deployment is just a matter of the network and how it was prepared previously. At minimum, deployment takes one hour.

It was complex to get this started because the Lenovo and VMware are not very compatible. We had to get some updates in order for it to be implemented.

Deployment required a small team and it was handled by one internal person and supported by a couple of engineers from our supplier. It is quite easy to maintain the servers.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment duration varies because sometimes the students are deploying it, and they take a little longer. Normally, it is quite fast.

The initial setup is not complex. It's very straightforward.

Deployment times vary. If students are doing it, it might take a little bit longer, however, if we handle it ourselves, we can do it relatively quickly.

It's difficult to count how many people we have on deployment and maintenance duties as they're all part-time. We have about four to five full-time equivalents.

CEO at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees

It is not complex. It is easy for us. The deployment took less than a week because we know what we should do. In four or five days, we had deployed it into the server. HP is easier to deploy than Lenovo.

Its initial setup is very easy. The deployment generally takes two or three days, but the duration also depends on the complexity of the solution. One person is sufficient for its deployment.
