Rated 5 out of 5 by from Robust and secure servers with excellent service What is our primary use case? We have a production setup in a factory for some of our services. The server can be a database server, file server, or even the Active Directory. We have multiple applications running on these servers, and we are very satisfied with these servers. We are mostly using the 600 series. How has it helped my organization? Dell is certainly innovating. With the latest servers and technologies, I believe they are well aligned with the current need for AI solutions and the market demand. We receive regular firmware updates ensuring security. We are quite satisfied with the updates and security. Dell also offers the Dell Assist feature which automatically keeps updating to the latest version available on the Dell website. We have not experienced any security incidents or vulnerabilities with these servers. These servers have been robust throughout their lifespan of five years, but I have observed that they work well even beyond that. Some companies continue using models that are expired because they have no reason to replace them based on the expiry date of the hardware. Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have had a positive impact on our organization's sustainability goals. We are very satisfied with these servers as well as with their service. Good service has a big impact on the product as well. If you have a good product but do not get good service, it creates a negative experience. Both need to be there. Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have helped to reduce unplanned production downtime by about 25%. OpenManage console has an excellent user interface to configure and use servers effectively. It is a nice tool, but we are not utilizing it much. My understanding is that it is going to be discontinued. What is most valuable? We are very satisfied with Dell in terms of servers and service. We are happy with Dell servers. They are aligned with our services. They are robust. So far, we have found Dell to be the best vendor. Everything works fine and upgrades are also timely. They are also always innovating. What needs improvement? When interacting with customer support, it defaults to Arabic because of our region. However, most of the experts here are not familiar with Arabic. We would like English as an alternative language for easy interaction. Additionally, after the expiration of support, it is sometimes challenging to find parts like hard drives, especially for obsolete models. They are moving from OMSA to iDRAC, but iDRAC is complex, requiring additional plugin tools. These requirements make it a bit complicated. Other vendors are better in this aspect. They should provide a better way of access. For how long have I used the solution? I have been with my company for nine years, and we have been using Dell PowerEdge Servers since then. What do I think about the stability of the solution? It is robust and flexible. It continues to work with the same performance even after the end of support. It works well and does not need much downtime for maintenance. There is a feature to update the server while it is running, so there is no need to restart. It improves production performance. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? It is quite easy to scale. It has impacted the flexibility of our operations in a good way. How are customer service and support? We are very satisfied with the professional support. The language support can be better. Other than that, it is good. I would rate them a nine out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We have been using Dell for more than 15 years. We initially used IBM and then HP for a short period. HP had some service issues, which led us to move back to Dell. We chose Dell because of the service and robustness of the server. How was the initial setup? Deployment is quite easy with Dell because it has a life cycle feature. This single module helps in configuration from the initial phase. That is one of the best features. What about the implementation team? We have an in-house team for deployment. We mainly rely on partners for purchases, but we have technical experts within our organization. What was our ROI? The ROI of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers is quite good. If rated out of five, I would say four. It is hard to measure the total cost of ownership because we have a distributed environment. We have multiple offices and the budget is split. What other advice do I have? We are at an entry level in terms of using AI. We are looking into automating things and making our process more efficient. We have not run any AI workloads on Dell PowerEdge servers. Data security is our main concern when it comes to AI. For implementing AI, we need to consider the security and auditing aspects. I would rate Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers a ten out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Keeps running for years without any issues and fits well in our environment What is our primary use case? We have VMware with 2 node servers and almost 20 virtual machines. We have in-house software and an HR and finance application running on it. It works fine for handling diverse applications. We are using the FX2 chassis, which is a small setup. We have a small environment with very few servers. How has it helped my organization? Our environment is small, and it fits our environment. For our requirements, it is working fine. We have protection with secure firmware of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers. We have not experienced any security incidents or vulnerabilities with our PowerEdge servers. It reduces our downtime because it has been working fine. There has never been any failure. I have used HPE servers previously, and we had issues related to rebooting, power supply failure, etc. Our Dell PowerEdge Server is working fine. There is no failure. We use OpenManage Enterprise software. It gives us an advantage in rebuilding a new server. We can build templates and use the same templates to deploy new servers. There is no manual work. What is most valuable? It is a stable server. I have never faced any failure with these servers. They keep running for at least five to seven years without any issues. What needs improvement? They should reduce its size. Because the CPU power is more now, they can reduce the size of the servers. Currently, we have a 2U server. If possible, they can make a 1U server. If they can provide more disk slots in one server, that would be good for the environment. Sometimes a BIOS upgrade fails, or something unexpected can happen. For how long have I used the solution? I have used Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers for the last 15 years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I never faced any failure in the last four to five years. It is a reliable product. Not even one server has failed so far. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? We are using the FX2 chassis with two node servers. Two slots are still free. We can add new servers at any time, so the scale-out option is there. The RAM increment option is also there. We can add a lot of RAM there. How are customer service and support? I encountered issues a few times, and they resolved them within the time frame. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? We were HPE customers for ten years. We switched to Dell EMC products about ten years ago. We have VNX storage, xUnity, data domains, tape libraries, and PowerEdge Servers. About 90% of my existing infrastructure is from Dell EMC. We chose Dell PowerEdge Servers because they are well-known servers. They are the core products of Dell. I love EMC products. They were acquired by Dell. It is almost a similar technology. How was the initial setup? Due to built-in software, it is easy to deploy and easy to manage. What about the implementation team? When we purchase new servers, partners are responsible for deployment. However, after the initial deployment, it is our responsibility to manage them. I have tier-one partners like Condo Protego, Cloudbox, GPM, and GBM. We are working with these partners. They have the capability to design the solution, but not all partners are equal. We did not work with Dell's Professional Services because our environment is not a very big environment. It is an expensive service and not required for our business. What was our ROI? It keeps running and does not create any problems. There are no hardware or power supply failures. It has been good for our business. What other advice do I have? We are at an initial stage in our AI journey. We have not tried to run any AI workloads on our PowerEdge Servers. Our business environment is a bit different, and at the moment, we do not require much AI for our business. I would rate Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers an eight out of ten.

It is working fine and we are happy with it. How has it helped my organization? Dell PowerEdge Servers have had an impact on our organization’s sustainability goals. Their power consumption seems to be fine. We have not seen any issues. We have not experienced any security incidents or vulnerabilities with our PowerEdge Servers. What is most valuable? We do not have much workload right now. We are happy with whatever we have tested. What needs improvement? Currently, we are facing issues with updates, particularly on the driver side. We did not receive proper communication about upcoming driver upgrades and other aspects. We are lagging in that area. We need to know about any upcoming updates so that we can plan accordingly. It could be that our emails are not registered properly. For how long have I used the solution? It is a new company, and we started using Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers only six months ago. What do I think about the stability of the solution? Until now, it has been working fine. It is stable. Dell PowerEdge Servers have not helped to reduce unplanned production downtime. We are a start-up company, so we do not have much downtime. We have a downtime of five minutes or ten minutes over here and there. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I have not had the need to scale yet. Currently, we have only 50 users. We are planning to grow next year and have about 25 more users. How are customer service and support? When it comes to hardware replacement and other issues I faced previously, the response has been good. I would rate them a nine out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I used HPE in my previous organization. We are an entity within a group, and we were asked to go for Dell servers. What about the implementation team? All the backend work is supported by a company in India. What was our ROI? We started only six months ago, so I cannot measure the ROI. What other advice do I have? We are a new company, and we are at the initial stage of our AI journey. We need proper engineers for our AI journey. I would rate Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers an eight out of ten. We do not have much load at the moment. We are at the beginning stage, but so far, we are happy with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Handles workloads and diverse applications efficiently What is our primary use case? We are primarily using it for test development environments. We have VMs hosted on them, and we use them to run our internal applications, customer environments, dev setup, common projects, the development environment, and the UAT environment in the service. Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers are pretty good at handling diverse applications. We get good performance from it. How has it helped my organization? We have a lot of VMs on Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers. On a single server, we have probably hosted 14 or 15 VMs. Out of these, 8 to 10 are continuously running, and four of them are backup VMs, so it can handle a good workload. For cybersecurity, it is only accessible on the intranet; it is not accessible through the web. We use it for local development purposes, and it is behind our firewall. Its security is strong. We handle a lot of test data for government and confidential customers. It is safe and strong locally. We have not experienced any security issues. Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have helped to reduce unplanned production downtime if we need to replace a hard disk, instead of completely shutting a server, there is a hot swap feature. It is quite good in that aspect. Usually, for any activity, there is a downtime of about 30 minutes. It has saved a lot of time. We have tried AI workloads for a development environment for a government customer in Singapore. The servers are hosted in Singapore. It is an ML-based engine with AI. It is a government project where data is processed, and we run it on Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers. The benefit of running AI workloads on PowerEdge Servers is that it is easy to allocate memory. The application we are running is memory intensive. It is pretty easy to scale memory and storage. What is most valuable? We have been using these servers for eight years. We have experienced good performance with them. Dell PowerEdge's strength is that they have a lot of NIC cards, so we can set up web apps and everything else for development on a single server. We can easily replace hard disks which is quite good. What needs improvement? I have used these servers in a government project along with Nutanix, and there is a security restriction. I do not know if it is from Dell's side or Nutanix's side. From the host, you cannot read the external hard drive data inside a VM. They have a security restriction on it. I understand the security restriction, but there should be a policy where you can do it during the development stages and copy data. After it goes to production, the policy should be implemented, and the port should be closed. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers for seven to eight years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I have not experienced any stability issues. The number of years we have been using these servers shows their reliability. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? For a government project, I went from five nodes to eight nodes, and it was pretty easy to scale up. How are customer service and support? We did not directly go to Dell support because we were going through Nutanix. From what I have heard, I would rate Dell support an eight out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive How was the initial setup? The setup is easy. Management-wise also, it is pretty easy. We normally remote in from our lab. It is convenient and easy. We partnered with Nutanix for this government project. They set up the base hardware infrastructure configurations. We built our VM applications on top of that. We had a couple of challenges. Data migration was a big challenge because of the sensitivity of the data. I had to sit inside the data center for twelve hours continuously because we had to take a different approach to transferring data. We could not directly transfer that data from the physical port into a VM. They told us that it was a security restriction that could not be relaxed at all. There should be an option when you migrate large data sets. What was our ROI? I cannot put a number to ROI because it is more of a development environment set up for us, not a production environment. The production environment using Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers is managed by the government entity itself. We are an application service provider and system integrator. We integrate our custom-built applications or COTS applications into the government infrastructure. Cost-wise, for the physical hardware, we cannot give an estimate because the data we use for development is small in the test environment. From the fulfillment aspect, the government has a big set of data centers. Most of them have Dell EMC servers. We use the similar, if not the same, hardware to do our development tasks. Which other solutions did I evaluate? We evaluated a Lenovo IBM server seven or eight years ago. We chose Dell PowerEdge because of the storage aspect. We got a better storage and RAM option here, so we moved to Dell. What other advice do I have? In terms of our AI journey, we are an IT system integrator. We have built our own IoT platform. We have integrated AI into our IoT platform, and we also have partnered with another PC manufacturer for whom we have been testing hardware devices for the past 20 years or so. We have qualified their AI solutions on their devices. Everything has a cost, but we have to see the benefits over a longer period of time and its effect on our operations and ultimately customer satisfaction. I do not look at the cost only from a financial perspective; I have to look at it from different angles. This helps ensure that it does not create problems for our customers and that the customer is satisfied. I would recommend focusing on performance and reliability rather than just cost. I would rate Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers very high because we have been able to set up different environments in different VLANs and connect to all of them at the same time. Overall, I would rate Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers an eight out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Achieves resilient performance with significant downtime reduction What is our primary use case? I use the solution primarily for software-defined networking, and there are some AI workloads present as well. We started last year, but previously, it was mostly about software-defined networking and private clouds. We mainly used OpenStack. These are the main use cases I run with PowerEdge. It's quite good at handling diverse applications. I don't have any complaints about that. It's very smooth. How has it helped my organization? We have not experienced any security incidents or vulnerabilities with PowerEdge Servers. Dell PowerEdge has reduced operational overheads in terms of support and operations build. What is most valuable? I am a fan of its ability to handle the evolving needs of high-performance workloads. It's very demanding. I mostly use it with a CPU load of nearly eighty to ninety percent, with workloads where we take the maximum output from the servers on the cloud. It has been sustainable and reliable in terms of compute. Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have helped reduce our downtime by a lot. The production downtimes are mostly planned. My system is designed in a resilient way, but with PowerEdge Servers, I don't need a one-to-one ratio redundancy, which leads to about eighty percent downtime reduction. It has also reduced operational overheads related to support and operations. I like that it is stable. Things become very difficult over time when you increase the security. In Dell's case, it is very stable, and I like that it's very process-oriented. The security is on par to the global standard. We always get market standard security. Upgrades run smoothly and seemlessly. Their biggest strength is their stability under heavy workloads and their long term reliability. I don't think they have any weaknesses. These servers are not very adaptive to the multiple GPU model. I can insert at most two GPUs. While the Dell server in terms of compute is capable of handling multiples, the physical design does not allow more in terms of placement space. What needs improvement? The solution can be improved in terms of firmware backward supportability. With the sixteenth generation servers I am using, slightly older kernels and drivers are not supported. I have to use the latest OS because the drivers and particular support are not there. The rack port supportability for the latest PowerEdge servers is not great. Until the fourteenth generation, I never faced this issue. From the fifteenth and sixteenth generations, this issue has started occurring. For how long have I used the solution? I have used the solution for the last six years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The stability is quite good. I have no complaints about it as it is very smooth. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The scalability of the solution is very easy. The process is seamless. How are customer service and support? The customer service was good in certain aspects, but I mostly had services where things became complex because of the software-defined networking applications. They use things differently, so I have to consult first and make arrangements. Designing and all those parts take time, so customer service can be improved in terms of timing. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I have used Cisco, HP, and Supermicro in the past. PowerEdge was not originally selected for stability and hardware compatibility, What about the implementation team? We use Dell deployment services for the storage solutions, not for PowerEdge. What was our ROI? There is a return on investment because I have been using them for the last four or five years. ROI is there, but it's a complex assessment when considering the return on investment from the hardware. It's part of a complete solution where I would assess this aspect. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The total cost of ownership for support and operations has reduced significantly. In terms of stability, I seldom encounter support cases or operational costs. They have been stable and running for years without performance downtime or significant disc failures, providing me an edge in operational and support costs. What other advice do I have? My advice to anybody considering Dell PowerEdge is to check the new ranges which are more adaptive towards AI. The R750 and R760 are general-purpose servers, so they need to look into AI-specific servers where more GPUs can be incorporated. On PowerEdge Servers specifically, the benefits are clear. I would rate them nine out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? Private Cloud If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
