    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    Best suited for virtualization and multi-environment implementations. Bare metal deployments have a few more limitations.

    I personally don't have many occasions where I would not recommend Intel Server System. The only time I would recommend other products is when it came to the overall cost. There are times when you can find server systems at a more affordable price that can do the work at the lower price.

    Cons
    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    • Firmware repository size limitations could be larger (was increased recently but still is only room for a few SPPs)
    • Profile template updates flag all machines that haven't had their profile updated from the template, causing the dashboard to go red with warnings and can cause unnecessary concern
    • OneView, while powerful isn't as user friendly as it could be

    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
    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    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
    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    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.
