My impression of the scalability of the product is good. You can put a lot of memory in the tool now, and you have a good choice in processors, so you can go wherever you want or do whatever you want with your money. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Valuable Features

"PowerEdge has high functionality, especially for automation on the firmware, which allows us to receive alerts for issues."
"The Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) support is notably better than that of other servers."
"It allows us to consolidate our infrastructure very efficiently, enabling us to deploy eight servers in a seven-unit density."

Room for Improvement

"The caching is a bit weak, making the hardware non-responsive, especially on hypervisor layers like ESXi or Hyper-V."
"The last year, we experienced problems with support, as Dell decreased staff in Latin America, impacting support quality."
"One area for improvement is the connectivity, specifically the backplate and switch connections."

Pricing

"The cost varies significantly depending on the server's configuration and can range from $10,000 to $60,000 for the same server line family."
"I know we get three years basic, and the on-site licensing model for business seems fine. I wouldn't pay for a support plus or anything."
"The product is budget-friendly. The initial cost for each server was around 10,000 euros. It's a standard price, not too high or too low."
