Robust product, helped with workload management and offers remote configuration
In this specific model, it could be beneficial to have a server configuration similar to Cisco, like the kind offered in HPE Superdome Flex X280. The ability to separate the chassis is important because we are forced to use two chassis even with lower loads. So introducing more flexibility in the Superdome environment would be helpful. One other problem is energy consumption. We are forced to use both chassis even when we only need, for example, all four processors. It's not always used at full capacity every day. When underutilized, we still need to have both chassis powered, which creates an energy consumption issue. While the machine can be configured to reduce consumption, the idea of having different possible configurations with varying chassis usage, similar to the Flex version, could be interesting for this model, too. This model leverages specific features of the Intel MAP board, so switching like in the Flex might be difficult due to the motherboard switching involved.

We're able to set-up multiple VLANs in it.
Hyper V was the best option in case of server fail-over & Storage option was the best with the VD pools assigned to the server modules We have improved a lot, and our customers are very satisfied with the product. We're able to set-up multiple VLANs in it. I think that Intel shouldn't have…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"We've got a few of them, because we needed some really large machines. So far, they've been working pretty good."
"If you're looking for a solution where you need a lot of workload and power, it's a great solution."
"This product is very reliable."
"HPE Superdome X is a very resilient infrastructure, and stable."
"It's an amazing product, an amazing technology, that has the best of that world: performance and uptime, and standardization."
"We felt that the HPE's solution offered the best performance of the group."
"We like the flexibility with the platform and our ability to stretch it across a lot of different areas of the company and product lines."
"We have improved a lot, and our customers are very satisfied with the product."
"The MFSYS25 is a relatively cheap blade system with a built in "mini" SAN."
 

Cons

"I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."
"I'd like to see the onboarding of some storage class memory to really expand the already very large RAM, into something that could be even much bigger."
"In this specific model, it could be beneficial to have a server configuration similar to Cisco, like the kind offered in HPE Superdome Flex X280. The ability to separate the chassis is important because we are forced to use two chassis even with lower loads. So introducing more flexibility in the Superdome environment would be helpful."
"The technical support sucks, would be understating it. Because the first line and the second line support tend to give out stupid suggestions that are completely useless, and they aren't listening to anything."
"What would make it better from my point of view is if HPE spent more time on testing with the actual built-in Red Hat Linux drivers, as opposed to always trying to say, "Use our driver.""
"The price of this product should be cheaper."
"HPE Superdome X can improve by adding a lot of cloud capabilities to allow this solution to be cloud-ready in case the customer wants to move it to the cloud."
"Looking back to our original purchase of Superdome X, we bought the smallest model."
"There is one regular error which irritates me during production hours. It continually gives us COMPONENT UNFIT ERROR."
"The Intel Switches give very poor performance when mixed with anything else."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is not very cheap. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very inexpensive, and ten being very expensive."
"There is a very expensive one-time cost with no licensing fees."
