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

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

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.

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

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

HPE Superdome X Cons review quotes

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
