Good hardware at a good price
We use supermicro servers at our main datacenter in Florida. We have our core platform running over 400+ of these servers, including our private cloud. We have a lot of applications running, from basic sites, to more complex applications.
- 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)
- 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
- Their price has allowed us to save money when buying servers on bulk
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.
