In large scale organizations where high performance workloads are normal and downtime needs to be minimal. As blade systems need less space it provides a much needed space reduction in data center environment all the while not receding computational capability.

The hardware has fulfilled all of the promises that it made when we first acquired it. The only thing that would preclude this would be if the organization decided to holistically switch hardware vendors for reasons other than performance and feature sets.

Usability
The GUI of Synergy is very user friendly and simple. Compared to previous generation products it has many great built in features. HPE Synergy shines in the management features of the OneView software making it a very good update from last gen. The ease of cabling and hardware replacement only add more to this.

Alternatives Considered
While all similar offerings can achieve basically the same thing, HPE Synergy stands out against Cisco and Dell offerings with respect to manageability, ease of use and flexibility - HPE Synergy offers configurations groups of chassis to create logical enclosures that can be managed as a single entity and also blades in any slot can be plumbed and allocated as necessary to multiple uplinks. This is one level more flexible than the others which limits configurations of blades in a single chassis to similar uplink settings. Also, the HPE Synergy chassis itself supports 12 blades vs 10 in competitive offerings.
