SHIVAKUMAR A P - PeerSpot reviewer
Addresses end-to-end customer needs and improves data center efficiency
The AI engines that HPE ProLiant DL Servers suggest for their customers include NVIDIA graphics and EnvyLink graphics for AI customers. The AI engines are more than sufficient for the current situation. HPE ProLiant DL Servers address end-to-end customer needs. It is a perfect combination with the generation 12 now, and there are absolutely no gaps. Customers usually deploy HPE ProLiant DL Servers on-premises, as on cloud, they do not have the option to specify the server model, and the cloud vendors will not specify which server it is. My usual deployment process involves checking the power AC requirements, power and cooling requirements, then the rack requirements, and then I proceed to deploy the servers based on the customer requirement. I rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers 10 out of 10.
Santiago Zaragoza - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It's flexible."
"It's easy to upgrade, and it is very easy to take care of the firmware upgrades."
"We get good performance with HPE ProLiant DL Servers. They are really stable. We run all our applications smoothly. We have no problem at all."
"Where there is a need to actually expand on the capacity, it's easily done, especially when more memory is needed."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This solution is very scalable. When we bought the DL580, we bought it with full capacity. It is great for our business."
"The most valuable features are the value and the scalability."
"It is very stable. This is the feedback that I'm getting from my customers for the hardware. It is also 100% scalable. HPE is also very specialized when it comes up to the server industry. It is not only about the rack servers; it is also about the blade servers. They were the first ones to bring these to the market more than ten years ago."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"Not all of the hardware is completely up-to-date."
"We would like to see remote monitoring capabilities added."
"In Qatar, HPE doesn't have as much support as Dell. I would recommend Dell if given the option because it has a solid local presence."
"The scalability of Gen8 models should be improved. They can also improve its price."
"Configurations could be simplified."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"The initial configuration process could be simpler."
"The technical support response time has room for improvement."
"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

"This is an expensive product and there is licensing required for iLO, which is the HPE monitoring system."
"It is just too expensive."
"There are less expensive solutions than HPE ProLiant DL Servers. However, there is a lot of value in this solution."
"The iLO (integrated lights out) license is very expensive, but the functionality you receive is worth it."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I give the pricing a six out of ten."
"They need to work with Microsoft to make the licensing costs better and more efficient."
"I give the cost a ten out of ten."
