Handles workloads and diverse applications efficiently
We have a lot of VMs on Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers. On a single server, we have probably hosted 14 or 15 VMs. Out of these, 8 to 10 are continuously running, and four of them are backup VMs, so it can handle a good workload. For cybersecurity, it is only accessible on the intranet; it is not accessible through the web. We use it for local development purposes, and it is behind our firewall. Its security is strong. We handle a lot of test data for government and confidential customers. It is safe and strong locally. We have not experienced any security issues. Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have helped to reduce unplanned production downtime if we need to replace a hard disk, instead of completely shutting a server, there is a hot swap feature. It is quite good in that aspect. Usually, for any activity, there is a downtime of about 30 minutes. It has saved a lot of time. We have tried AI workloads for a development environment for a government customer in Singapore. The servers are hosted in Singapore. It is an ML-based engine with AI. It is a government project where data is processed, and we run it on Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers. The benefit of running AI workloads on PowerEdge Servers is that it is easy to allocate memory. The application we are running is memory intensive. It is pretty easy to scale memory and storage.

Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems
I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Any necessary adjustments can be made seamlessly without the need to unplug cables, as everything is contained within the rack itself."
"The solution's stability is good...The solution's scalability is good."
"The solution delivers what it promises. You look at the specs and it delivers them."
"PowerEdge's management interface is easy to use. It's also a platform that we can trust."
"We use remote access a lot. They are fairly simple to use."
"The core strength of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers lies in their expansive connectivity and seamless integration with other offerings within the Dell product ecosystem."
"The server itself has the most stable updates. The patches and the updates will take you a long way before they release another one, so you aren't constantly doing more updates and upgrades."
"The scalability of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers is excellent."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"One area where PowerEdge could improve is the challenge of keeping technology consistent over the years."
"The data analytics for this solution could be improved."
"It's more from the pandemic, however, the logistics part of it could be better."
"The price is the only thing that can be improved."
"Unfortunately, PowerEdge Rack Servers do not support NVMe storage."
"There are a lot of data platforms around, but it would be helpful if we could perform some basic data operations on the server so we don't need an extra vendor. Azure is their Microsoft Cloud solution, and they collaborate with data companies like Databricks. We are also on the cloud and work with Databricks, but they could add some basic features so an enterprise doesn't need to go for extra Databricks to do their data things."
"I'd like to take the complexities out of all the different tools that surround it, like OpenManage."
"We have storage and would like to manage more backups without adding extra storage devices. Maybe it's already there. I need to look at it more."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not a very expensive solution."
"We have not compared them with others. The price is okay, but they can always be a little bit cheaper."
"Dell is somewhat more expensive than HPE."
"If price isn't a concern, I would recommend it."
"The pricing is good compared to other products."
"The solution’s pricing is competitive with other products."
"The pricing for this solution is competitive compared to others on the market."
"One of the clients has been offered a price of $18,000 instead of the regular price of around $25,000."
