HPE Proliant ML Reviews

We use the standard version of these servers. They're very useful for us and are the only servers we use for all our server needs.

We're standardized with these servers with the accompanying support and hardware. It makes things much more efficient for us to maintain and operate. Plus, it's easy for staff to manage.

We first used them 25 years ago, and therefore have many different generations of them. We actually have thousands of them in our data centers.

They deploy without issues.

We have stability problems when we install new generations, but they're usually resolved within six months or so.

It's very scalable.

I think that technical support is good enough for us.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Just use it.

It's truly effective and it's always on. We've tried other manufacturers who claimed particular purposes for their servers, but we never got any decent results from them. We tried HP servers a few years ago and we've come back to it. It's perfect for what we do.

For us, it's change in continuities where we've seen the most improvement. Each time we move new hardware, it's more and more effective. Everyone on the team is familiar with the hardware, so we don't have to teach them everything. It's simple for us to operate as a team, which is of primary importance for us.

It seems that when we have a single problem, it's a fight with the hardware. We get the package and we do the assembly. This takes us a week or more, and that's a problem. It takes too much time.

Deployment has been issue-free.

It's very stable. That's a main factor for us.

We're able to scale it, though we're mainly adding older servers to this new one. Scalability is not the most important thing for us.

Technical support has been good. We work in sensitive environments and technical support has been a positive point.

Initial setup was straightforward.

We implemented it ourselves in-house.

HP maybe seems sometimes more expensive than others, but we stay with them and we know why.

Complete video overview:

I can update this soon with benchmark results and also coming soon is memory configurations.

Our customers use the solution for Active Directory.

The product is good for companies that have small offices. We can install more internal disks in the product. We can utilize more than a terabyte of memory.

The product should allow management to troubleshoot remotely. The management should be able to access remote management instead of going to the server location.

I am using the solution in my current organization.

The solution is stable.

The product is scalable.

The support responds quickly to all our queries.

The initial setup is simple.

We deploy the product using Intelligent Provisioning. Once we have the ISO file, the product can be automatically installed. The deployment takes around 35 to 40 minutes. One person can deploy the solution. It is not difficult to maintain the solution.

Dell also provides similar solutions. Dell is cheaper than HPE. The choice of product depends on the customer’s needs.

We are system integrators. We set up servers for our customers. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
