HPE Integrity NonStop vs. Supermicro SuperBlade

-It is highly advisable for the organization that is planning to deploy on Unix/Linux-based platforms and also windows. -We have faced issues while deploying it on windows but the support provided by HPE Integrity is excellent and quick. -HPE Integrity NonStop highly provides security for the data, it is possible to track where there the sensitive data got exposed if any. -Also, we can restrict the users who can use the data, so it is highly flexible, secured and for the audit perspective it is more effective.

Supermicro may be well suited if what you will be deploying on the servers is supported, because if you don't, you may have no support at all. In our case, we have had some hardware problems where the support is not efficient compared to other experiences we had (HP, DELL). On the other hand, their servers price is quite good, so it's a win win if you are looking for better prices than other vendors.

• No payment interruption/data lost as it provides zero fault tolerance.
• As it is complete virtualized network, security that we get is simply awesome.
• We can also extend the features and also it is customizable the integration and flexibility of HPE Integrity are brilliant.

Incentivized

• Good IPMI management, detailed information
• Their Redfish API is also a good tool to configure/retrieve information from the servers, good for scalability
• Documentation Online for new updates is up to date (BIOS/FW)

Incentivized

• Improvement needed on deployment especially on Windows platform.
• Should add features like monitoring tools if anything goes up wrong.
• Data migration to new environment or backup of data is not supported.

Incentivized

• Their support could be better, it is not the fastest we've got in touch with
• We have seen strange behaviour on some of their servers, it's better to check if the OS you will be running is supported on their support matrix first

My experience with the support was not that good, it always takes a lot of time to get somewhere when raising a support case. I gave it a 6 because I think they have room for improvement here, It could be good if they would act quicker and send in replacements for faulty hardware.

The supermicro superblade servers are performing really well on our infrastructure, we are running a broad set of applications: voip, JAVA, linux, windows, hypervisors, etc. They are easy to install and configure and the price is a winning situation. On the other hand, The support is not so good, HP and DELL are stronger in this point. If you get any failures on your systems, they will replace them immediately, but supermicro will ask for a lot of information on the case before handing out replacement hardware, which makes it slow.

• Definitely I would say it has created a positive impact to invest on HPE Integrity.
• It is possible to add extra components on later part after deployment with less cost.
• The deployment process is completely taken care of by the HPE Integrity team, so it will ultimately reduce the deployment process duration.

• Their price has allowed us to save money when buying servers on bulk
