Likelihood to Recommend I have experienced great services from this platform in both cloud and on-premise. It has streamlined technology in all our cloud servers providing operational centre for any kind of data. It has enhanced effective networking program that controls workflows in the entire organization. The modular system gives predictive insights that helps us to prepare for future and avoid any risks that can lead to drawback.

All nodes can be managed centrally through the ILO interface. Users and services alike benefit from the lightning-fast response time. Enable service continuity during VM migration between nodes. The purchase of a blade system is something we endorse as a viable alternative for your business. In order for the convergent system to work, the architecture can be adapted to accommodate new devices, and by applying new modules, both the technology and the system's responsiveness to demands for high availability can be enhanced.

The small form factor of a blade server cannot accommodate expansion cards. Shared infrastructure, like the interconnects, means a larger fault domain. Firmware updates can be disruptive and administrators should pay close attention to firmware recipes and bundles to ensure compatibility between components.

We do not intend to make new investments in HPE BladeSystem as it is in the end-of-life phase and we have continued with the new HPE Synergy environment. It is therefore not a process of discarding, but of evolution. This environment will possibly continue to be used in the institution, but for less critical purposes and more related to the development of new solutions.
Read full review Alternatives Considered There are good use cases for both technologies, and each will have its place, UCS X-Series is good when looking at additional or external Storage solutions, and scalable computing performance in a compact form factor. Cisco HX is good for incorporating Compute and Storage in single ease of use form factor.

It's been said that BladeSystem is very similar to the UCS B-Series. While the network fabric features of the UCS B-Series outshine those of the BladeSystem, HPE has created extensive orchestration within HPE OneView to provide feature parity with and even surpass those of the UCS B-Series. The fundamental distinction between the two is whether the focus is on the computing (BladeSystem) or the fabric (UCS). In contrast to UCS's tight fabric integration, BladeSystem's centralized focus on servers simplifies administration.
