Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems

I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."

"The IMM tool is great because we can upgrade different views and device versions very quickly. We can upgrade everything from a single point through a single dashboard, which is great for us because we also have Lenovo storage. Lenovo ThinkSystem also has Xclarity built into the system."

"It is a scalable product."

"The solution is very simple to install."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is the easiest product to set up and maintain."

"The hardware is good."

"It has good integration. You have VMware for connecting many machines, and you can support microservices. You can also easily connect the networks. It is also very easy to use and implement, and it comes with good support."

"It's very power-efficient and allows you to access the rack server directly without accessing the operating system on that server."

"The product is designed to make adding RAM and disk space easier for users."

Cons

"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."

"Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers availability could improve. We have been waiting two months for one server."

"Throughout the use of the product, special needs will arise which may require a global need."

"From our side, our budgets are really not there. The availability of cash is a little bit limited. We buy as much as we can, If it was less expensive, we could buy more."

"The power consumption needs to be optimized in Lenovo."

"The solution's initial setup was complicated."

"It was complex to get this started because the Lenovo and VMware are not very compatible. We had to get some updates in order for it to be implemented."

"The RAID Management and the RAID Configuration tools need to be improved."

"Improvements could be made in the network cards, particularly by offering options for higher-speed cards beyond the current 10 GB."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is the cheapest solution we have seen on the market."

"Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers are cheaper than HPE...It is a good product that offers value for money."

"It is too expensive. Because we are a university and we have to look for our money, many times we buy some refurbished machines or equipment at reasonable prices from IBM or Lenovo. We are a little bit limited in terms of money, and we buy as much as we can. If they were cheaper, we would buy more."

"The licensing cost is the same as HP. It doesn't have any additional cost. However, the price, for example, for the memory option, does not match other vendors such as HP or Dell. They should work on the pricing of Lenovo. It is a great competitor, and it should compete with the price."

"It costs around $8,000. There is an additional cost for the support for a year."

"As the costs got high, we had to use the virtualization feature to consolidate the server farm."

"Other than the standard licensing fees there are no other additional costs. The price of Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers could be better, and the availability of the solution could improve. We have been waiting two months for one server."

"Your budget determines the scalability."
