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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"Composability... We show our partners the value of composability and how it can meet their needs."
"The solution has decreased our deployment time by 10 to 20 percent."
"Everything is in one place. We have one place to with OneView. It provides one console with one place to get to everything. The one interface makes it easier. We have one guy who does almost everything in it."
"There is no problem with the scalability."
"The i3S module can be configured to provision storage to all blade servers and boot to any operating system without needing local hard drives."
"The product enables the centralization of all administrative tasks."
"The composable feature is amazing as it helps avoid downtimes."
"The stability is very good. We haven't had any outages."
 

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."
"Technical support was time consuming and unsatisfactory. The initial product setup was complex, lasing around three weeks to a month."
"I'd get the firmware to be a little more secure and a little more streamlined."
"I would like it to connect to the HPE Cloud Connect compute platform for simplicity of our infrastructure."
"They must improve the OneView tools."
"It has affected the productivity of our development team in a bad way. When we first stood the hardware up 18 months ago, the image streaming capacity and capability were not very good at all. We had hoped that it would allow us to be more composable and be able to switch over from one version of an operating system to another version of an operating system. However, it wasn't ready for prime time yet. Therefore, we had to go back to a deployment of bare metal install. We are still waiting and trying to figure out how we can do the composable infrastructure."
"HPE Synergy could improve its remote support."
"I think we were promised a little more than we were given. It's true, they are working very hard to try to help remedy that."
"The post-sales activity needs improvement. There is some sort of convoluted spreadsheet that you have to fill in prior to the platform being delivered. It seems a little bit out-of-date and inefficient. Surely, there is some sort of web page configuration tool online that a customer could use. Then, it could be validated by somebody else, like a partner or HPE technical resource, then that would be a lot more efficient."
 

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."
"VMware is part of the cost. We bought the chassis, we bought the solution. The blades are roughly running us $60,000 a pop right now."
"There was at least about a 20 percent savings in cost over our purchase based on the purchase price of the compute modules themselves versus what we've had to pay before. It was significantly less."
"We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."
"For temporal use, when you throw on the fact that you're essentially doubling your capacity, right there you could claim a 50 percent TCO reduction."
"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs by 50 percent."
"For me, the scalability is how much money that I need to spend on switches for how many frames, which ultimately means servers. To get the best bandwidth before the most recent product announcement, I have buy new switches every three frames. The competition is shipping a product right now where I only need switches every ten frames."
"We are satisfied with its price."
