HPE BladeSystem vs HPE NonStop comparison

"It also has a pretty solid design and management."

"The scalability has been good."

"The solution has good scalability."

"We are very happy with flexible NIC configuration features which are possible if you combine the BladeServers with HPE flex switches in the enclosures."

"This has drastically reduced our datacenter space, has good cooling and power consumption."

"The most valuable feature of HPE BladeSystem is its upgradability and centralized configuration."

"Basically, in a cluster, it works really nicely, especially within a cluster environment. Also, it's easily configurable."

"The most valuable feature of HPE BladeSystem is the ease of management. It is easy to communicate from the server to the storage."

"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."

"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."

"In terms of improvements, I'd suggest enhancing the stability of the HPE BladeSystem, especially regarding network connectivity. We once had an issue where a system didn’t communicate with the network, and it took a while to diagnose the problem. Eventually, we discovered it was a motherboard issue, but we initially thought it was the network card. Improving the onboard administratordashboard to provide more granular insights, like clearly identifying faultycomponents, would make troubleshooting much more efficient. Aside from that, the system is superb and has been reliable."

"I would prefer to have changes in the compatibility of the blade servers with the new ones designed by HPE, as the top team's version does not have it."

"There could be more management capability to work with integrations."

"The connectivity speed could be improved."

"I am not sure if iLO is included or if there is a separate license. If it is not included, it should be included in the license. It is such a valuable feature especially because people are working remotely."

"Higher bandwidth interconnects could be introduced."

"Non-disruptive firmware upgrades in all areas of blade technology."

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

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

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

"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."

"I would recommend this solution for large enterprises. Medium-sized companies would find it difficult to afford the HPE BladeSystem's overall capital expenses."

"​The price could be cheaper."

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

"The product’s price is high compared to one of its competitors."

"The price for HPE BladeSystem can vary between $100,000 to $1 million or above. The price can be high."

"The price of HPE BladeSystem is less expensive than some other solutions, such as Dell. The cost of replacement equipment is expensive."

"The prices for the HPE Virtual Connect Modules are expensive compared to other I/O Modules available."

"There is a one-time purchase for the HPE BladeSystem."

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

"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."

"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."
