| DevOps Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I find Supermicro Superblade servers competitively priced and easy to set up, with IPMI being a valuable feature. While stability is okay (6/10) and scalability is poor, they suit our virtualization needs. I rate it 8/10. |
| Sr. Systems Engineer at a computer software company with 51-200 employees | 3.0 | I found this backup solution's initial setup straightforward and it's quite stable with good tech support. However, I'm concerned about its poor scalability, long delivery times, and am already exploring alternative solutions. I rate it 6/10. |
| Senior Field Application Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | I recommend Super Micro SuperBlade; it's stable, scalable, and saves resources. Setup is simple and it's not expensive. My only concern is its current lack of fiber channel support. |
| Support Technician at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | We find this device affordable, scalable, and easy to use, ideal for our SMB budget. Setup was quick, and we've experienced no issues. We chose it over Dell for its cost-effectiveness, making it our company standard. |
We use Supermicro Superblade servers because we are a software engineering company.
I think we bought the Super Micro server because it was a competitively priced.
With many servers in one, these blade servers are easier to manage. We use Proxmox on these servers for virtualization. So these blades are in Proxmox clusters, and we create VMs for our customers or colleagues.
I think the IPMI is a really good feature because the VR is too far from our server, enabling us to restart or check or monitor our servers via the internet.
The service could be improved by faster servers, more widely available VMs, and more storage in one place. Then, in the event of a blade failure, we could start our VMs on another blade in a couple of minutes.
This is why we wanted to buy storage. But now, we want to buy a twin server with 24 VMware discs to create test storage.
The next product release should allow more servers to be controlled simultaneously.
I've been working with this company for two years, but I think the servers have been here for about four or five years.
The product isn't the most stable, but it's okay for us because there are no problems with the servers. So I'd give it six out of 10.
I think the Supermicro blade servers are not the best. They could improve in scalability but are not really scalable right now.
The initial setup of the Supermicro SuperBlade servers was pretty easy. I would rate it as eight on a scale of one to 10, with 10 being easy.
The product is competitively priced.
About 1,000 people use the Supermicro SuperBlade servers in our company.
Overall, I would rate the product eight out of 10.
The product is primarily used for backup as a service.
It's just provided a solution that allowed us to install backup solutions, backup software, with a large number of disks.
The initial setup was straightforward.
We have found the product to be quite stable so far.
Technical support is quite helpful.
They need to improve their delivery time. It takes too long right now. It's something they need to work on.
The solution does not scale well.
We've been using the solution for about eight months or so. It hasn't even been a year yet. It's still quite new to us.
So far, the solution seems to be very stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. The performance has been good overall.
It's not very scalable. We've maxed it out with the number of drives that it can handle.
We have close to ten users on the solution currently.
Technical support was pretty good. I'd give them probably eight out of ten. They are helpful and responsive and we are satisfied with the level of service provided to us.
The initial setup was not overly difficult or complex. It was straightforward. I'd describe it as simple. A company shouldn't have any issues with implementation.
The deployment is fast and only takes a few hours to execute.
We have another team that handles maintenance. I'm not sure how many people are required to handle that aspect of the product.
We handled the entire process n-house. There was no need to enlist the help of an integrator or consultant. We could handle it all ourselves.
I can no speak to the cost of the solution. It's not an aspect that I deal with directly.
While this solution is being used extensively, we're looking at other solutions.
We're simply customers and end-users. We don't have a special relationship with this company.
We are using the latest version of the solution. I can't speak to the exact version number.
I'd advise those considering the solution to just plan ahead for the lead time on delivery.
I'd rate the solution at a six out of ten.
This solution can be used for various applications, high-performance computing, software as a service, cloud service, and data centers. It can be used anywhere.
The ability to save resource is a key feature.
There is a lack of support for fiber channels currently that needs to be added.
I have been providing this product for five years now.
The solution is stable.
I have found it to be a scalable product. We have over 3,000 customers globally.
There are one or two customer support agents, there is not a lot that can fail with the solution.
The installation is simple and does not take much time. Everything is all preconfigured and the blades are hot-swappable.
The deployment can be done with two people, everything is manageable through the software.
The product is not expensive.
It's an affordable and scalable device that fits requirements for a SMB with a tight server budget. It's also easy to work with.
We enjoy working with the product.
I don't think there are any areas that need improvement as we are happy with the product, but they do need to keep their hardware standards up.
I've used it for more than two years.
There were no issues because we planned it weeks in advance.
No issues encountered.
No issues encountered.
It's good.
Technical Support:We provide technical support, so we just need a good warranty and returns policy.
It is now our company standard, and we switched to this product as it's from a reliable brand.
It is quick and easy with skilled technicians.
We did it in-house.
We are a SMB and we cater to the SMB market. That means that for us, the cost is the main factor, and if we can get good quality for less, we will always opt for that option.
We also looked at options from Dell, but we chose this because of the cost.
It's best for small deployments for small SMBs with low server requirements.
