High availability servers have boosted hosted payment services but still need better local support
We are not using PowerVM because of certain limitations; it is on a back-end engine. However, we are using other components such as vSphere for some small interfaces, and those are the main components we are utilizing. Since these servers are fully dedicated to various high-end solutions, they have some embedded features that their kernel and applications are using, which are bound to that functionality. We may not provide an exact assessment on its usage, but we are considering those products for some AI solutions; however, we are currently in the review stage and have not concluded our evaluation on how those are utilized yet. We are aware of the pricing of HPE ProLiant DL servers, but not off the cuff. We have obviously acquired those solutions ex-Pakistan, so they are on the rise, and while we do not remember those prices offhand, they are generally better than the IBM series, although they are becoming slightly pricey in Pakistan due to processor shortages and demand. Improvements could be made in database engine hosting services because, as it stands, the pricing of Oracle is too high from both the service and software solution perspectives. If pricing can be reduced, especially for DB servers, that could have a direct positive impact on the overall solution. Regarding reliability, it has been satisfactory so far, but since the distributors are not physically present in Pakistan, that creates a risk for long-term large customers. They provide import-based services, necessitating us to over-invest in backup stock and offline servers. If there was a market presence from those players in Pakistan, it could benefit both clients and distributors by reducing the need for investment in backup inventory.

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

"HP ProLiant servers provide redundant solutions for almost everything. You can set up multiple power supplies, with a primary power source and a secondary power supply connected on UPS. If the power goes out in the building, the UPS will supply power to the host at all times. The solution can run on batteries for many hours, depending on your battery and UPS capacity."
"They just work, which is basically what our requirement is."
"The solution is highly scalable because the processor core is high to the extent of a dual processor, which means it can handle a heavy workload and virtualization and is one of the best products that can be effective in a virtualized environment."
"These products are used as corporate infrastructure servers and improve our ability to perform everyday tasks crucial to our business as well as allow for easy administration from an IT perspective."
"Stability and reliability; it's rare that it fails and, when it does, we have HPE support with a four-hour turnaround and it gets fixed."
"The primary features of the 380 and 580 we find valuable are high availability and performance, as well as better response from the storage combination that we are using; they are fully fault-resilient—not exactly like our IBM Power series, but some combinations work well."
"We decided to switch because this solution provides more memory density."
"They're incredibly reliable and we have no issues running them."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"When we do use it, the quality depends on the country."
"The installation could be simplified."
"This server is separate from the next one and I'd like it to be integrated so it becomes all-in-one."
"They should continue to maintain the stability that is there."
"The technical support response time has room for improvement."
"Serial number tracking and trying to get that tied to my account. I have a terrible time with that with HP."
"The solution should work to be more scalable."
"It has something called WorldView. They should do some enhancement over WorldView to run an operating system as a code. Such a feature would be amazing for running multiple servers. They are already working on this, and they can enhance the existing versions for this. It should also be cheaper. It is currently expensive."
"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

"We have purchased this solution and it is under warranty."
"The price is a little too high; it could be reduced."
"They need to work with Microsoft to make the licensing costs better and more efficient."
"We have to pay for an annual license which is expensive."
"They should reduce the prices as it is a significant concern for developing countries."
"The solution comes with a one time perpetual license which is included with the server."
"It is not expensive. Its price is similar to other solutions."
"It is expensive. Its price should be better."
