Overall Satisfaction with HPE Synergy

In our Organization we use Synergy 12000 for HPC virtualization. It can handle multiple high performance work loads and the hardware is stable as well as easy to operate. Compared to the older HPE c7000 enclosure it is a more compact system and the processor is quite cheaper to replace. As Synergy is the latest blade system in HPE's lineup the virtualization is easier and the latest VMware and other virtualization like HPE VME are supported. HPE One view support has been a real game changer for node management including automated firmware update for each component, automated case generation for issue and many more.

Pros

  • Handles high performance workloads efficiently
  • Has automated failover for downtime reduction
  • Easier to replace spare parts
  • Cable management is easier compared to previous generation

Cons

  • Oneview configuration can be complex
  • No advanced analytical features available
  • Monitoring features need to be improved
  • Downtime has been minimal resulting in less service imapct
  • Freed up a lot of valuable rack space
  • Forecasted ROI target is much shorter
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.

In large scale organizations where high performance workloads are normal and downtime needs to be minimal. As blade systems need less space it provides a much needed space reduction in data center environment all the while not receding computational capability. Synergy is currently a go to solution for most financial organization as well as telecoms.
