Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the ease of management and the integration with OneView."
"It has had a positive effect on the efficiency of our IT infrastructure team. The manageability of it is so easy, we're able to install it quickly, and replacement parts are easy to get in and out quickly."
"It's more composable, you can use storage as well as compute blades. So maybe it's more versatile compared to the traditional blade systems."
"We have been able to give the deployment team what they request more quickly. We are able to quickly deploy what is being asked of us. If the development team needs a platform of 20 servers to run a particular platform, we can give that to them within a day or two."
"It is first in class for composable infrastructure. It has the scalability that meets our future needs and the automation that builds into something that we are really looking forward to using."
"They're easy to swap and move around the datacenter, for sure. They don't occupy too much space for what they offer."
"The Online firmware update for the virtual connects has minimized our downtime windows."
"The single pane of glass management is huge, because in all our previous systems, depending on what we were managing, we would go to a different management point. Being able to go to one spot to get everything is helpful. I find that server profile creation is a lot easier in OneView than it was previously. We are able to stay compliant with firmware and updates, because we are assigning server profiles and reapplying them when there are changes. This makes everything a lot simpler."
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
"It can have more automation. In addition, Fujitsu should have a broader portfolio, not specifically in terms of the service solutions, but more in terms of the big picture. A broader portfolio would be nice for providing different solutions for the customers."
"I would like more storage with this solution, because we still need 3PAR or other storage outside the box for the amount of data that we have."
"Instead of having Synergy vertical, make it horizontal. It is easier to stick in when it is vertical."
"In the Generation 10 modules, we have observed that very often the server has hardware issues."
"The possibility of using storage directly in the frame in order to have bigger storage directly there, and not having an attached storage like SAN or NAS. That would be helpful."
"The lowest echelon of HPE technical support is sadly uninformed, unknowledgeable, and dependent on wrote scripts. They won't answer a question without going through their script. It's not like you're actually talking to somebody who has any depth or time using any of the equipment."
"The installation and initial setup process is complex and needs to be improved."
"Sometimes there are firmware or software difficulties when connecting between networks or with storage."
"The solution should support Cisco or other vendor interconnect models."
