Has supported future scalability with seamless deployment
In terms of potential room for improvement regarding Dell PowerEdge M, I would want to see something such as dense nodes and additional storage, as well as multiple network connectivity on the blades. The functions that I would want to see from Dell are not limited to just what I mentioned, but currently, I feel no additional features are needed. I suggest adding an additional network card within the blades, specifically for connectivity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like about Dell PowerEdge MX-Series is the whole integration, where you do not have a lot of cables, which is a strong point compared to others on the market."
"The server is more common for the mass market and although it is nothing special, what stands out is the good after-sales service provided."
"The solution integrated well."
"One of the best aspects of PowerEdge is that it provides a consolidated hardware infrastructure, allowing multiple servers in a simple ten-rack unit."
"The Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) support is notably better than that of other servers."
"The solution is made with high-quality hardware."
"Regarding technical support from Dell, I find them to be one of the best support providers in the industry right now."
"PowerEdge M allows me to manage all servers and blades from one admin console."
"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
 

Cons

"I believe that the tool’s support team is an area with certain concerns where improvements can be made."
"In terms of improvement, it should also offer a hyper-converged option."
"It requires time to transition to the new generation."
"For the support of Dell PowerEdge MX- Series, I would rate it a seven; for EMC storage, Dell is not performing as well as EMC, but for servers, they are good, so I would say seven or eight."
"I would like to have additional HPC and AI capabilities on general Dell PowerEdge servers."
"We have had some issues with the vendor's support that we have received. When you open up a support case with Dell they send a partner to assist you and in our experience, they are lacking knowledge about the solution. There are times when you need professional support from the vendor that knows the solution well."
"Dell PowerEdge M lacks GPU nodes and doesn't have a direct solution for GPUs."
"The firmware updates for the product need improvement."
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
"It can have more automation. In addition, Fujitsu should have a broader portfolio, not specifically in terms of the service solutions, but more in terms of the big picture. A broader portfolio would be nice for providing different solutions for the customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost varies significantly depending on the server's configuration and can range from $10,000 to $60,000 for the same server line family."
"It was budget friendly."
"I know we get three years basic, and the on-site licensing model for business seems fine. I wouldn't pay for a support plus or anything."
"The product is budget-friendly. The initial cost for each server was around 10,000 euros. It's a standard price, not too high or too low."
"The solution's pricing is slightly higher."
"The product is neither expensive nor cheap. It is manageable for medium enterprises as well."
"If we would not have gone with the vendor we might have been charged unnecessarily for packages we did not need."
"Dell PowerEdge M price is comparable to other solutions but cheaper than IBM. However, the IBM solution is a higher grade solution whereas Dell PowerEdge M is a medium-level solution."
"No license is required to operate the product."
"There are special licenses that are connected to the usage. We installed Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series for a high PC solution, and for this reason, some Microsoft licenses and other special licenses were embedded or bundled to the Fujitsu solution."
