TrustRadius Insights are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, 3rd-party data sources. Have feedback on this content? Let us know!

User-Friendly Interface: Many users have found the system to be user-friendly and easy to manage, with simple settings and management that simplify tasks. They appreciate the intuitive design and straightforward controls that make it effortless for them to navigate through the system.

Scalability: Several reviewers have praised the scalability of the solution, noting that it allows for the easy expansion of resources and the ability to fit multiple servers into a standard 19-inch rack. This flexibility in scaling up or down provides users with the freedom to adapt their infrastructure according to their evolving needs.

High Degree of Redundancy: The high degree of redundancy provided by the system has been appreciated by users, as it ensures the reliability and availability of hardware resources. With redundant components and failover mechanisms in place, customers can rely on uninterrupted operations even in case of hardware failures.

Buggy Management Console: Some users have experienced bugs in the management console, which can be frustrating and impact their ability to efficiently manage the system. They have reported encountering issues with the functionality and reliability of the console.

Limited Configuration Methods: Users feel that the configuration methods are limited to only web GUI and SSH command line, which restricts their flexibility and may not cater to all user preferences. This limitation hampers their ability to configure the system according to their specific requirements.

Outdated Virtual Connect Web GUI: The virtual connect web GUI still uses flash, which is seen as somewhat dated by users who would prefer a more modern interface. They believe that an updated web GUI using newer technologies would enhance usability and provide a better user experience.

As for the structure, layout, and administration console, those are all things I find appealing. The in-cabin Blade system does its job well and is simple to use. We are in complete command of the network and its components. Administrators will appreciate the intuitive interface and the ability to view settings for monitoring server temperature, problems on the platform, and failure detection. Blade servers from HPE are reliable and easy on the eyes of upper management. These are reliable enough to use in your IT system for the next three to five years.

Organization-wide application and virtualization support is provided by HPE Bladesystem. Workloads could be quickly moved between hosts, and the system could be wired only once thanks to the blade infrastructure. All of our live services run on an HPE BladeSystem as our core server platform. HPE BladeSystem is a good choice for big and medium-sized networks with multiple servers. The HPE BladeSystem was made to centralize the administration of servers and related components like software, networking, and monitoring.

HPE BladeSystem is a highly reliable and available server management platform with the right configuration. We have two data centers with four enclosures each for redundancy. Having the power supply, network (we use Virtual Connect), and ILO all in one convenient package is a huge time-saver for system administrators. Begin with a small number of servers and add more as needed.

Virtualization of data stores, servers, networking infrastructure, and application development environments have all been commonplace uses of the HPE BladeSystem solution in the data center. High availability, reduced power consumption, enhanced airflow, and next business day (NBD) service are all things we can count on thanks to the HPE BladeSystem. Easily able to scale up to meet growing demand, scalability is a breeze to implement.

HPE BladeSystem is expandable and robust. We use it for SQL Server VMware virtualization and put it on our SQL Servers and VMware virtualization systems. In terms of server hardware, we rely heavily on the HPE BladeSystem. It is used for authenticating users of network storage, among other things. Setup may take some time initially, but it will help in the long run. The blade infrastructure created a dense compute platform that moved workloads quickly between hosts. It's configurable for our business needs, and we use BL360s in a c7000 chassis with 10Gbps ports to Ethernet and SAN. It is utilized throughout the business to support applications, virtualization, and other tasks. This base configuration can host many VMs.

The HPE BladeSystem solution has been used in the data center primarily for the purpose of virtualizing databases, servers, networking platforms, and development systems. The HPE BladeSystem guarantees us high availability, power reduction, improved ventilation, and top-notch 24x7 software and hardware technical support with next business day (NBD) service. Scalability is quite simple and can be increased as new demands arise.

We mainly use it to support a virtualized environment, in addition to database services that support part of the corporation's systems. The redundant infrastructure serving both the power and the cooling and communication parts ensures a stable environment as long as the basic installation requirements are followed. The flexibility of the communication environment with FCoE, allowing the subdivision of physical interfaces into logical ones, allows wide and secure connections.

HPE BladeSystem is very stable and with the correct setup, a highly available server management platform. We have four enclosures within two data centers for failover. With integrated power, network (we currently use Virtual Connect) and ILO, it is very easy to manage and makes an admin's live much easier. You can start with a limited number of servers and expand the numbers later easily.

HPE Blade System is used in our VDI and VSI environment with HPE VC as Network Module with more than 10 Blades everything is running with ESXi and virtual Server. The setup is stretched between 2 datacenters. For VDI, we are using Grphaiccards on top. With this, we are able to operate the whole internal IT.

HPE BladeSystem is being used as our primary server platform for all production services in our organization. It has been employed since Gen1 and has been used for its ability to virtualize what used to be very manual cabling, networking, and server management. Blades come in a variety of configurations and capabilities to fit the business need. We're using BL360s in a c7000 chassis with FlexFabric 10Gbps ports for Ethernet and SAN. This is a basic configuration that allows us to run a dense VM environment with minimal external cabling and networking and complete remote management.

HPE ProLiant Bladesystem is being used to support applications and virtualization across the entire organization. The blade infrastructure provided a very dense compute platform with flexibility to wire the system once and then move workloads between hosts easily.
