    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%.

    Pros
    Dell Technologies
    • Good price - Compared to other vendors’ server platforms. In our scenario (virtualization) we found out PowerEdge offers the best price/vCPU and RAM ratio.
    • Customizable - We were able to select optimal memory/disk capacity for our use case. Other platform's minimum requirements were above our needs, hence needlessly expensive.
    • Good warranty and service - Our project did not involve creating a big cluster with a lot of spare capacity, so the next business day warranty came handy.

    Cons
    Dell Technologies
    • The value of 24x7 support is expensive, the value of 8x5NBD is more attractive.
    • The other superior models of the C series are more expensive.

    • More tech support may make it easier as it is only limited to be done via company representatives
    • Overhead cost for replacements and services looks like it is high compared to others
    • Integration with other cloud based application will be great

    Usability
    Dell Technologies
    The Dell PowerEdge R range is just intuitive when you have skills engineers managing them in-house, although even with new members of staff on the team, the learning curve is very low providing they have previous general service hardware management experience. From the specification through to the management of this range, the usability is excellent.

    Dell Technologies
    We consider Dell's support to be best-in-class compared to other solutions and is also reasonably priced. Their SLA targets have almost always been met, except for minor occasions that have had extenuating circumstances. The service staff is also professional and thorough. Overall, we are very satisfied with the level of support we receive.

    Against hp servers, Dell has outperformed them in terms of incidents regarding hardware memory parts. With the Dell PowerEdge R series servers we have not had any incidents regarding memory modules. On the other hand, with HP servers, we encountered a lot of failures regarding memory modules during the first year of implementation.

    Netezza is sufficient against similar products. It comes down to personal preference, I'd love to have the data objects popping up as I type but some people may not like it.

    Return on Investment
    Dell Technologies
    • From the perspective of physical server consolidations, when servers spread across multiple branch and remote offices are gathered into a central data center, this simplification process provides ROI in several ways. One, the configuration control, restriction of server access.
    • Reduce complexity and enable greater standardization of hardware purchases, which lowers costs.
    • Increased security of the move are important.
    • The costs of moves, add-ins, and changes are reduced, as well as the costs of travel time and maintenance.
    • Migrating legacy operating systems to a newer version via rehosting brings similar ROI benefits when it comes to server consolidation.

    • The appliance is all in one so we have all licenses and support contracts under one roof.
    • The cost is expensive so ROI may take time to be realized.
    • If done correctly, then Netezza provides the opportunity for huge ROI.
