Very reliable, expands well, and is pretty simple to set up

It is very straightforward to set up. It's not complex. The length of deployment depends on the way that you configure the Blades. For example, if you're going to work with VMware, the time could be at least 25 to 30 minutes. It is not going to depend on the BladeSystem; it is going to depend on the time of the operate system deployed. The number of people you need for maintenance depends on the monitoring system that you have. For example, if you have a good monitoring system for this platform you're going to need less than ten specialists, but if you don't have a monitoring system to check the platform, probably you're going to need more than ten people.

Highly scalable, stable, but complex installation

The initial setup of HPE NonStop is difficult. It was costly. We followed the typical site surveys and requirements, such as power, electricity, temperature, network, and air conditioning. Additionally, the customer requirements and other software that need to be installed can make the process more difficult. There are many steps in the setup before we arrive at the stage where we start implementing the hardware. I rate the initial setup of HPE NonStop a three out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They are very fast and very reliable. They are working under very tough conditions."

"The most valuable feature of the HPE BladeSystem is the ease of management and the robust design."

"The product has been simple to set up."

"The product is quite stable. Its performance is reliable."

"They are reliable, and it's relatively easy to manage them. They also regularly provide patching for the servers."

"The solution has good performance."

"The most valuable feature, of course, is its size as I can build a huge compute resource on it."

"It is not expensive."

More HPE BladeSystem pros

"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."

"Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable."

"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."

Cons

"The problem is that when want to expand with a new chassis, you have to do everything manually. It's not automatic."

"The response time in terms of getting technical support assistance could be improved."

"Creating an integrated solution could make HPE BladeSystem more appealing."

"The only side that must be improved is the active-passive interconnect module architecture."

"They should provide open learning materials and seminars for detailed knowledge of the product."

"Some part of virtual connections needs improvement."

"BladeSystem is an old-fashioned server and not very well developed for new features and new areas of data centers, which is not very good for enterprise companies."

"The interface in terms of management could be much more intuitive."

More HPE BladeSystem cons

"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop."

"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."

"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing was good. We selected this solution because it was within our budget. We paid just once when we bought it. We never bought any license."

"Regarding the cost, HPE BladeSystem is not cheap. The solution and its support are costly, and there are challenges with renewal and pricing, especially in Nigeria, due to the dollar rate and FX issues. However, it is reliable. I don't have specific figures for licensing costs, as the procurement and finance departments handle them."

"Add OneView and ILO advanced to the base product. Don’t adjust the price, but just include them."

"I don't have access to your financial information or the specific details of this solution's pricing. There are no additional fees. It is the hardware and the support."

"it would make everyone happy if the solution were less expensive."

"It is not expensive, really, in this class of server products."

"We have an annual license."

"The chassis itself, with no blade server inside, so expensive. The C7000 model costs around $100,000."

More HPE BladeSystem pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."

"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
