Highly scalable, suitable for enterprise usage and good performance

It depends on what my business requirements are, what I'm evaluating at that point in time, and what HP provides. So, it will be difficult for me to pinpoint a couple of times because that changed from situation to situation. So if I'm evaluating the server, what kind of technologies HP is mileaging over the other competitors makes a difference. So sometimes processes, performance, sometimes memory available space, the hyper-converged, and these are the certain things when it comes to the enterprise level product. When it comes to the endpoint, it depends upon the user experience that HP provides.

A highly efficient choice for deploying scalable and reliable middleware applications

The most valuable features include distinct storage within the Oracle PCA. This separate storage is crucial as it serves both primary and secondary purposes. Additionally, high-priority elements encompass Lava switches for network functionality. Recent efforts have focused on efficient patching of the entire PCA stack, covering the master node, computing nodes, network switches, and storage components.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is very simple to use."

"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."

"This is a scalable solution. Our customers begin with an initial configuration and later add more servers, memory and other options to meet the demands of increased processing."

"The flexibility is the most advantageous aspect of the solution. Our system has a very big environment. Due to this, the replication and backup operation is not an easy task. We prefer HPE SimpliVity modules in our environment, even when we have some different cases in operations."

"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."

"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."

"We use the solution for DDI."

"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

More HPE ConvergedSystem pros

"Supports connection to most of network topology, such as VLAN and network segmentation."

"You will find the high availability and License Team with Oracle very valuable."

"It is scalable as the box can be increased by one compute node, if required."

"It has helped us to reduce Oracle licensing costs for database and applications."

"The most valuable features include distinct storage within the Oracle PCA."

Cons

"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."

"The MTG inside HP could be improved."

"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."

"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."

"This is an expensive solution."

"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."

"The solution needs to add NFS features."

"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."

More HPE ConvergedSystem cons

"OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface."

"In comparison to competitors like VMware, there's a perceived need for Oracle to enhance OVM, making it more flexible and user-friendly."

"The initial setup was very complex."

"Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"Pricing is good. We have not calculated what hyper-converged infrastructure has brought us but I think there has to be some lower cost for us, compared to the public cloud. Obviously, there would be a lower cost, probably by more than half."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The pricing is sensitive."

"There are some extra costs in addition to the licensing costs for the yearly maintenance from professional third-party services."

"This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."

"I rate the product price an eight and a half on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."

More HPE ConvergedSystem pricing and cost advice

"No licenses for the shipped software or firmware."

"If you have many Oracle products, such as databases, middleware, and apps, it will help you reduce Oracle app licences and support costs."

"It is more expensive than the normal solution or the hyper-converged system."

"It is relatively cost-effective."
