Dell PowerEdge C vs. IBM Power servers

An excellent warranty and excellent technical assistance can be expected from the PowerEdge C Series, which comes from a well-known brand with a long track record in the market. Scalability, physical space optimization and performance and dependability for handling sensitive and vital data like databases and ERP systems that are fairly sophisticated are just some of the benefits we get from Dell gear, which saves us resources and energy by up to 40%.

I'd strongly recommend IBM Power servers to anyone who has the budget for it. A Power Virtual Machine, what is generally called FlexTB VM, can support as many small VM of 256GB, and scale up to 32TB on the fly. If IBM recommended architecture is combined with your organizational reference architecture, then forget about running into unplanned downtimes.

• Adaptation to different workloads and especially to critical loads that need a lot of processing.
• Great for virtualization of critical services.
• Minimize physical space occupying only 1U.
• Easy management.
• High availability of processor, storage space, memory and font.

• I love how it supports a mix of operating systems
• protection of our sensitive energy data and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
• It provides a flexibility that ensures that we can accommodate increased workloads without a complete overhaul of our infrastructure.

Incentivized

• The additional C series versions are more costly than the basic one
• I haven't seen any downtime in my system's operation
• All of the functionalities have been working as expected

• A solid IDE for editing programs. SEU was simple and solid. Then it became outdated and support for it ended as the language continued to evolve. That's fine. But RDi is expensive and shaky at best, and VS Code, while free, is severely lacking even the modicum of features RDi has.

This is one of the best systems on the market. You can have Flash/Copy which created another LPAR to look like the system you are copying. This takes seconds and not minutes. Then you can use BRNS to do full system backups nightly with no downtime. I am ready for us to upgrade to a Power 10.

They are very easy to set up and use once you re knowledgeable enough to deal with it. They are continuously enhance the user experience on the HMC and operations on the systems. Once setup it's like a beast, going on and on. I have experience with servers that are not being rebooted for more than 1000 days

In all of the years I have used various Power System, I have never had any problems at all. Even when hackers were attacking our email servers and many users PCs, the IBM Power System came out completely unscathed. I haven't even had any application errors that were able to take the system down. Nor have I ever experienced an unplanned outage

The IBM Power System is built for integration. It supports multiple operating systems and you can run multiple OS's on the same box with no problems at all. It also supports a number of open source languages such as PHP, Java, Python, and Perl which helps you continue to grow and integrate with lots of other systems.

On large-scale systems, the rating would have been 10. However, I have seen some cases in more rural areas where the IBM onsite support is not as available or of the highest quality as in the past. For software support, there are sometimes instances of language barriers.

Systems are robust and you need to know exactly what your are going to do with them. There are multiple configurations possible and you need to gather your requirements first, before going on with the implementation. Tuning is a must before migrating production systems

When it comes to multitasking networking and storage, I've always found Dell PowerEdge C to be the most effective solution. A network center that can service the whole business with capacity for future expansion is ideally suited for this device. The ability to consolidate data into a single storage system has reduced workloads. Using this platform is simple and the customer support team is constantly available.

Power server do not need a stack of software for viruses, spam and others... Power server do not need to have release often power server are much more strong then other manufacturer Power server do not need to restart offen

This system can work in a small factory with a few users and easily scale out to thousands of users. It is truly amazing on how much you can throw at this box and it will just keep humming. It is great for use across multiple departments and even across multiple corporations. I worked at one company where we were hosting multiple corporations on just one large Power System and had ZERO problems.

• Return on investment in the medium term.
• Easier to extend new services by implementing new features on demand.
• Optimized technical support.

• In the event of a crash, IBM Power servers offer a variety of simple options to recover the operating system.
• With the flexibility offered by IBM Power servers, the production business can be improved by making the most of its physical servers.
