Hello peers,
I am a New Business Architect at a large tech services company.
A customer has a Dell PowerEdge R850 server and is looking to replace it. What is the best HPE ProLiant Server to replace a Dell PowerEdge Server?
Thankyou for your help.
Hello Nestor,
HPE is a very good choice to replace Dell PowerEdge Server. which model? I would recommend that you don't try to just replace your server. Investigate what are the needs of your client, why does your client want to replace the server? Size a server to the needs of your client and you could take the opportunity to see if you can add virtualization, redundancy, etc.
Answering your direct question, without analyzing too much, it could be a ProLiant DL380 Gen 10 Plus model, but it would be much better to design it to the current and future needs of your client.
Dear Nestor,
As you have a general question, I would say any of the HPE ProLiant DL series would be a good replacement. All upon the tasks and the budget. You can find other vendors fitting as well. Another question is why your customer considers replacement..
Best regards,
