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

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

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

"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."

"We've got a few of them, because we needed some really large machines. So far, they've been working pretty good."

"This product is very reliable."

"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."

"Superdome X is a system that can compete in terms of performance and uptime, but it's now standard. That is the great value. There are competitors like IBM, for example, but IBM has a propietary operating system. With Superdome X, you have a system that can run Windows, Red Hat, or VMware, but in a mission critical server."

"One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."

"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."

"I like the robustness of the machine. Similar performance could likely be achieved with other configurations, but this machine is very stable."

Cons

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

"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."

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

"What would make it better from my point of view is if HPE spent more time on testing with the actual built-in Red Hat Linux drivers, as opposed to always trying to say, "Use our driver.""

"HPE Superdome X can improve by adding a lot of cloud capabilities to allow this solution to be cloud-ready in case the customer wants to move it to the cloud."

"I'd like to see the onboarding of some storage class memory to really expand the already very large RAM, into something that could be even much bigger."

"In this specific model, it could be beneficial to have a server configuration similar to Cisco, like the kind offered in HPE Superdome Flex X280. The ability to separate the chassis is important because we are forced to use two chassis even with lower loads. So introducing more flexibility in the Superdome environment would be helpful."

"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online."

"I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 pricing is not very cheap. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very inexpensive, and ten being very expensive."

"There is a very expensive one-time cost with no licensing fees."
