HPE ProLiant DL

The reliability of the hardware has allowed us to get an excellent ROI. We have been able to run systems for 10 years.

With using iLO, HPE out of band management, we no longer needed to send out engineers for systems build or system repair. This has cut down on travel IT would have to do on setups.

With the many options, HPE Proliant DLs provide we can tailor each system ordered to the exact requirement. We are able to set up systems that would give us the most ROI.

With the ability of HPE support to troubleshoot issues and provide replacement parts as quickly as the support contract warrants, we are able to get systems up and running quickly. Minimizing the downtime of the system and allowing the firm to continue doing business.

Our servers have easily lasted 7+ years. we budget for 5.

Low capex investment.

The useful life of the equipment makes the investments durable and functional.

The versatility of the equipment allows the storage of data as well as the virtualization of applications and the growth of the business.

They last forever. We only replace them when newer versions of VMWare don't support our oldest models. Our refresh cycle on virtual hosts is 6 or 7 years.

Plenty of third-party service support available when the warranty is up. This helps extend the life cycle as well.

Reduce physical hardware footprint and space and hardware failures.

Great support

It is always a positive ROI.

HPE servers closely match our business objectives.

Nowadays, we're thinking about the cloud and planning some changes.

Strong ROI.

Long lifespan and reliable.

HPE product support is helpful and prompt which saves time.

Good return on the investment

Products are very much reliable and supportive for most of the business applications

Upfront cost of the products slightly higher than various other leading solutions

Amazing run time allowing for uptimes of 99.9%+.

Reduced downtime that caused revenue loss.

Saved costs due to reliability.

Improved response times due to ease of remote management.

Fewer repairs and less time spent replacing parts.

More efficient accessibility for our users to network resources.

In a 3-4 year span, we've had maximum uptime and zero or near-zero interruption to services and platforms.

In cases where we've engaged HPE support, they've been exceptional. I think we had one incident where a tech did not appear as promised (within the contract window) and when this was pointed out HPE made it right and had someone onsite ASAP.

Lowered cost of operation - we basically buy these and let them depreciate out. Properly spec'd, there's very little need to open them up for any reason.

Allowed us to move forward with running web-based applications and to scale them as needed.

The lack of future driver support has made it difficult to consider upgrades, we may need to go with more expensive hardware in the future to be able to maintain upgrades.

While we have not realized all the business growth benefits we expected from this investment, we have had much more flexibility and options when we need to change our environment to meet the business needs.

Reliability: our servers have never experienced a critical failure.

Longevity: the servers are over 5 years old and will be supported for 2 more years.

Value: the upfront costs and ongoing support maintenance have been under budget.
