Dell PowerEdge FX [EOL] Reviews

We use PowerEdge for the hosting and implementation of our cloud deployment.

We like PowerEdge for its high-performance computing architecture. 

Before the cloud solution and virtualization, we relied on Dell hardware from specific vendors. The lifecycle for cloud infrastructure is shorter than it used to be. We need a longer lifecycle from the IT supplier providing the computing solution. 

I've been using PowerEdge FX since 2017.

PowerEdge has been part of our core package since 2017. It's stable. We haven't faced any issues with the computing set. 

PowerEdge FX is scalable.

Our system integrator provides the first level of support on top of our agreement with the vendor itself, so I can say we haven't had any issues with the support yet.

Setting up PowerEdge FX was easy to handle. We have had the help of a system integrator.

There's no license for the PowerEdge hardware.

I rate PowerEdge FX nine out of 10. It's a stable and scalable solution our customers can rely on for their applications, especially physical applications. 

It depends on the client's requests, but mostly we work with the rack servers.

PowerEdge FX has lot of applications; we use it for businesses like data analytics, application businesses, and more. It depends on the different services.

The features that I have found most valuable are that it has very robust servers and a very heavy load. We've been working on servers now for 10 years and those servers are still up and running. Those servers are still very powerful until today.

In terms of what could be improved, we always find this kind of a problem when comparing the cost that's provided by Dell to that of HP. Dell's main competitor is HP servers. I don't know about the IBM's, but most of our requests are coming from Dell compared to HP. In terms of the cost, it is a little bit high, meaning, there is some difference in the cost compared to the equivalent product with HP servers.

I have been using Dell EMC PowerEdge FX for eight years.

I have servers running 8 years now, that is very stable.

Most of the people don't go for the scalability of the server. They don't add on specific things. They add new servers. Today, the cost of the servers is not that heavy, like before. So people add one note and two notes when they require some use cases.

My experience with Dell customer service is that mainly they are very, very supportive.

The initial setup is very, very easy.

I'm a gold partner, so I am satisfied with Dell EMC PowerEdge FX.

Based on the feedback from the clients that we are working with, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate Dell EMC PowerEdge FX a nine.

I'm an old guy with Dell. I always prefer this brand over others.

I would for sure recommend Dell EMC PowerEdge FX. 

We use it for our database for data warehouse analytics.

It has extremely high performance, and it is easy to manage.

It should have more simplified management. It is a common problem where vendors think that they have simplified a solution, but the users don't look at it in the same way. A vendor thinks that there are only ten steps for a task, but we consider them as many steps.

It should also have more support for NVMe. For high performance and speed, there should also be more network cards for the fiber channel and ethernet.

I have been using this solution for probably four years.

I would rate Dell EMC PowerEdge FX a seven out of ten.
