With a perfect record for uptime, the solution ensures a return on investment
Since it is a legacy tool, there is a need to change it for flexibility. I think now it has improved because the security is very good. It is very secure for the performance of the machine critical application service, and it is very good. I don't know how to speak more on improvement needed because it's a good enough tool. However, depending on the application, it's limited. Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop. It is not flexible because I know that because of the compatibility of Java with HPE NonStop. When we are using Java, the performance is not good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"It is a very practical solution because you have all the servers in a minimal space."
"It is a very practical solution because you have all the servers in a minimal space."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."
"Technical support is A++. If there is a problem, HPE will fix it."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."
"They've been very reliable since we started using them in 1978, but we're going to replace them in a few years."
"If you are contemplating a fault-tolerant, high uptime transaction processing machine with above normal transactions volumes - to act as a transaction server with infrequent changes to code - and you simply must have bulletproof performance - this might be the ticket."
"The HPE NonStop solution is rated with the highest level of availability in the industry."
"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."
"This is the standard for reliability and fault-resilience."
 

Cons

"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
"It is much better to use “normal” servers. The initial investment for a blade server is very high and creates dependency."
"It can have more automation."
"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."
"It is much better to use “normal” servers. The initial investment for a blade server is very high and creates dependency."
"The NonStop Support Center is very good, with an occasional bump in the road."
"NonStop (formerly known as Tandem) in the Guardian OS could use another, friendlier macro language."
"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."
"Currently the NonStop platform doesn’t support virtualization of servers or CPU’s. Only storage."
"The initial setup is complex. You need the help of a consultant for it to go smoothly."
"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."
"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."
"The hardware fails often, and I feel that HP really needs to pay more attention to this issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
