Overall Satisfaction with HPE BladeSystem

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.
  • Very Flexible
  • With Virtual Connect you have a very powerfull Network Module for Management
  • Easy Maintenance
  • Scale Up is not a problem
  • It doesn't take that much rack space
  • Long Boot Time (Perhaps in most HPE Servers)
  • Fan Management, when you not using the whole Blade Enclosure make sure all Blades are on one site.
  • Limitation in Hardware because of thermik
  • Not exactly ROI but its very stable
  • Powerful
HPE BladeSystem was a well known product in our company. Also HPE Apollo is not able to use Virtual Connect, what means that you have to connect every Apollo Server to the Network. That has a huge impact on the network site.
