Reliability and reasonable pricing enhance data center management
I researched on peerspot.com about IT solutions, specifically about HPE BladeSystem and HPE Synergy, because we are already using HP servers in our state data center. In HP Cloud System, we are using a converged infrastructure to connect LAN and SAN connectivity across the network. Regarding Virtual Connect technology, there is a noticeable impact on network management. For day-to-day operations, we use various applications such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams to connect virtually. Using HPE BladeSystem Virtual Connect technology in HP Cloud System, we achieve efficient network management with well-defined LAN and SAN connectivity. We already have a defined modular architecture in place designed by the HP team for our data center. My company name is National Institute for Smart Government, also called NISG, under the National e-Governance Division. My title is Technology Management Consultant. I would rate HPE BladeSystem as an eight out of ten.

Pros

"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Currently, we're using HPE BladeSystem BL460, but we're planning to migrate to the Synergy System as part of our strategy since the OEM support for the BL460 will eventually end. The most valuable features are its high computing capability and availability. Additionally, the ability to manage all resources from a single dashboard using the OneView solution that comes with the HP Converge system is incredibly beneficial. The efficientand unique environment makes it an excellent fit for our needs."
"They are reliable, and they hardly break down. They are fast, and they serve us very well."
"The product is quite stable. Its performance is reliable."
"The most valuable feature, of course, is its size as I can build a huge compute resource on it."
"It provides a secure access to the console and reliable administration."
"I have noticed that the solution does provide a very good ROI for companies."
"One of the most valuable features I have found to be the enclosure. It is really easy to manage and everything is integrated. You are able to upgrade the software quite easily."
"The feature I find most valuable is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"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."
"There could be more management capability to work with integrations."
"It could always use new tools."
"Improving HPE BladeSystem could involve enhancing the customization features which are currently less robust than other tools in the market that offer drag and drop modules."
"If you compare it with Lenovo systems, the pricing is too high."
"​It is really stable, however the motherboard sometimes crashes."
"HPE BladeSystem can improve by providing the latest generation processor engine, such as the I-Flex processor."
"There have been some hardware failures with them. These failures have since been solved by HPE support partners."
"The price of the solution has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"No license is required to operate the product."
"I need to pay for the license, and it is expensive. We make yearly payments."
"The HPE BladeSystem is an expensive solution."
"The prices for the HPE Virtual Connect Modules are expensive compared to other I/O Modules available."
"With regards to the prices, they need to adapt to the current needs of the country."
"When you purchase HPE BladeSystem you have to pay for the support service. The first three years are covered under the warranty, and for any further support, you have to pay annually. When comparing the cost of HPE BladeSystem to other vendors, the fees are less expensive."
"The pricing is competitive."
"The price of HPE BladeSystem could improve. They need to reduce the price to be able to compete better with other vendors, such as Dell."
"Add OneView and ILO advanced to the base product. Don’t adjust the price, but just include them."
