| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Support Engineer-Enterprise System at a tech services company | 3.5 | I find this solution easy to deploy, performant, and low maintenance, with no stability or scalability issues in five years. While it lacks an integrated DVD/CD ROM, I advise planning future needs, as setup requires technical knowledge. |
| Project Manager | Service Delivery Coordinator at kyndryl | 4.5 | I have used the IBM BladeCenter H for eight years, valuing its density, redundancy, and easy setup, finding it superior to HP. While scalability is expensive, I recommend it for those with experience, despite modular hardware trends. |
| Design and Develpement Engineer at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees | 4.5 | I use this stable, scalable virtualization server, valuing its CPU/RAM and support. Though FCoE setup is complex and storage needs improvement, it's end-of-sale, replaced by the IBM Flex System that includes storage. |
| Sr. System Administrator at a consumer goods company with 501-1,000 employees | 4.5 | I value the central management and performance of this IBM blade solution. However, firmware upgrades and initial setup are difficult and costly. Customer service is excellent, and I've had no scalability issues despite its age. |
| IT Infrastructure Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I like its small form factor and scalability for medium applications. Performance is generally good, though it struggles with non-linear workloads. I recommend it for medium-to-light use and hope for advanced redundancy improvements. |
| System Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | I've used these stable, scalable IBM servers for over a year, enabling critical operations without downtime. Deployment, stability, and customer service are excellent. My only improvement suggestion is for better IBM warranty extension processes. | |
| CIO at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees | I've used this solution for over four years, valuing its reliability and expandability. It saves space and has no stability issues. While customer service is good, I believe the management software needs improvement. | |
| Sr. Systems Engineer at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees | I found this solution excellent for virtualization density, despite troublesome firmware updates and poor customer service, which even caused issues. Overall, it was stable and scalable. |
