Linda Belebesi

Unix System Engineer at Road Accident Fund

Highly stable, straightforward, and easy to use

In terms of improvement, the operating system development is slow, making it hard to keep up with modern tech and integrate with third-party products. Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365. This means if you are using HPE, you might face challenges connecting to the cloud and need to rely more on on-premises servers. Also, the support is lacking in some third-party products, limiting your options.

Helps grow horizontally or vertically within one box or chassis

The initial setup is very easy. We deployed this in two days, including installation, system setup, firmware upgrades, configuration, and network connection. By the next day, we were already deploying virtual machines. We initially began with the Blade system. As the migration to SAP HANA approached, it seemed prudent to upgrade our hardware. Consequently, we facilitated their transition from the Blade system to Synergy. Subsequently, we collaborated closely with the SAP consultancy company to oversee the migration process, ensuring seamless integration of all workloads and sub-environments. We have four people working on the deployment, including a project manager, two specialists, and one tech support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."

"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."

"It is very fast and easy to use."

"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."

"The tool provides good performance and productivity."

"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."

"We have what is called a chief data care center support. This is the highest level of support they have. We have been very happy with the support we have received."

"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."

"On the previous HPE platform, we struggled because everything was independent. We had to manage firmware on each server, storage and network configuration on each server. Synergy is template-driven so we can ensure consistency of all of those settings. It allows us to standardize configuration and ensure consistency across the board."

"It's very scalable. We like the idea that we can put four chassis in one of our racks, and we can connect up to 25 chassis, so the scalability to us, and being able to sync all those into one management portal, is unheard of. You can't really sync that many blades and chassis together in any other platform."

"It makes life easier for us when we are deploying new technology, as we have the building blocks already in place."

"It is a good product for hypervisors."

"It's a fully integrated solution with OneView."

"The manageability is its most valuable feature. It is a fully managed platform, which is very simple to manage."

"Great data storage and very good for software defined solutions."

"The flexibility to link them together and configure them gives us the ability to scale out easily, to add more compute resources as needed... The way that they're scalable and flexible means we can add additional servers in quickly... We're not spending a lot of time doing procurement and building of physical servers."

Cons

"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."

"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."

"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."

"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."

"HPE Integrity is a pain. HPE hasn't put much work into developing the solution in the past few years because it will be discontinued soon."

"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."

"Pricing is very high."

"The manageability must be improved."

"We had an issue during the initial setup with the 40 Gigabyte cards. They weren’t working, so we had to work really closely with HPE support to get them to work."

"They were not so deep into integration with VMware."

"I would really like a way to validate the firmware in my specific environment before trying to deploy it. Those were the issues we had early on with firmware upgrades, particularly around certificates. All in all, having some level of confidence aside from it just having been tested generically would help. Something more specific to my environment would be very helpful."

"The deployment time of a system through OneView is pretty slow, but apparently that's being addressed in an upcoming update."

"The setup was a bit complex."

"In the past, I have had issues with configurations."

"The profiles aren't so easy to work with."

"There is always room for improvement. Based on our use cases, I don't believe there are any additional features required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is the best."

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."

"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."

"The price is not very expensive."

"We do CAPEX."

"We outright purchased Synergy."

"For temporal use, when you throw on the fact that you're essentially doubling your capacity, right there you could claim a 50 percent TCO reduction."

"The solution can be expensive because it requires both hardware and software purchases."

"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."

"The price point is a little high. We were able to get a good deal on a promotion, to go with it. It would be nice to see the prices come down a little bit."

"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."

"We are satisfied with its price."
