HPE Synergy Reviews

This is the first time that we are using Synergy, so we don't yet have the experience to talk about this.

It provides the new computer node and connects 3PAR without SAN people to help me.

I think that they can improve the update because the update is problematic now. When you want to update the firmware, or when you want to update software on Composer, it takes a lot of time. A lot. For compute node, you need one hour for upgrading firmware. I think that is a big problem.

It became stable the second time. The first time, it wasn't. We had some problems but they're solved, and now it's stable.

We want to scale in three frames this year, we suppose, because they want to change everything in the datacenter. They want to put everything on Synergy. Synergy with integration with monitoring software, and Docker. So, we wanted to do this.

They are responsive. We don't have any problem at all when talking with them.

Overall we've had a good experience. We have had a little problem during startup because the OneView software is older than the last release. During the update, we had some problems, but HPE solved them quickly and perfectly.

It provides VMs quickly and gives me the facility to create backups.

The rapid provisioning of VMs is the best improvement.

I would like to see better integration with other products.

It is stable. It protects against crashes.

We did not try to scale the solution.

Technical support is good.

We did not use a product previous to this one. When selecting a vendor, I look for innovation and support.

I was involved in the setup and it was easy.

We evaluated Dell and Lenovo. We chose HPE because Synergy is innovate in the way that it delivers its services and I think that is very interesting.

Check all the best practices about the configuration and the connection to the network. I would give that special attention.
