Rated 5 out of 5 by ErkanVarol from A stable and scalable storage solution that provides a very good return on investment What is our primary use case? The solution is used for storage. What is most valuable? The solution is stable. I have not had any problems with it. What needs improvement? The product must provide time travel features. Oracle Flashback Database provides such features. If there’s an error, we can travel back in time and revert it. If someone imports a wrong request, we can ask the system to go back in time so that the system has no problem. Backup and recovery are the most important features. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using the solution for 20 years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. We had a problem three years ago. We fixed it. It’s normal for such issues to occur. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The tool’s scalability is adequate for our company. We have 150 users in our organization. It is not extensively used. We do not have plans to increase the usage. We might migrate to the cloud in the future. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I have used IBM. It was very expensive and was not scalable. How was the initial setup? The solution is deployed on-premises. Our organization bought and installed the solution, and we use it. What was our ROI? The return on investment is quite good. What other advice do I have? I have little knowledge about hardware. I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sreevatsa M from Reliable for various purposes, including active directory and high-end backup servers What is our primary use case? These servers were primarily used for Windows servers. The use cases remained the same throughout. For instance, back in 2010, G5 or G6 would have been deployed for the active directory or as a high-end backup server. During that time, we needed servers with higher performance. However, as we progressed, we gradually adopted Hyper-V and VMware for administrative purposes. This transition allowed us to enhance performance and consolidate our infrastructure by migrating to VMs and shared servers. By 2015, these older physical servers were phased out, and it became challenging to find compatible parts. Therefore, we decided to leverage virtualization technologies. The company owned this equipment, but they eventually decommissioned it. So, considering the lifecycle and practical aspects, it was not an issue. Due to the lifecycle, these servers were left out. What is most valuable? The most valuable feature I have found for HPE ProLiant DL Servers HPE was SmartStart. However, it is not available in the newer versions. What needs improvement? HPE SmartStart was valuable for HPE ProLiant DL Servers. However, I believe it has been discontinued, considering your technical awareness of current developments. There is a feature called SmartStart, which refers to the HPE SmartStart CD provided by HPE. This CD was available until 2008. Now, in the present scenario, people are migrating from Server 2008 to Server 2019. Logically, according to the manufacturer, HPE, it's stated that SmartStart is not compatible with newer operating systems like 2019 or 2016. It doesn't work. However, I have personally performed a workaround. You can start by using the SmartStart CD to install Windows Server 2008 R2 as the base operating system and then proceed with upgrading it to Windows Server 2016. I have successfully implemented this approach on several servers, approximately 20 to 30 servers. I haven't encountered any issues so far. Why doesn't it cause problems? I believe that HPE is aware of this situation. Not every organization has the budget or resources to purchase new servers once the lifecycle ends. Therefore, HPE should provide some form of correction, such as upgrades or updated utilities, that can be used with these servers. By offering backward compatibility, at least until the G7 series, and supporting operating systems like SmartStart for these environments, it would greatly benefit clients. This approach would receive positive feedback for the company's support services. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using HPE ProLiant DL Servers for more than fifteen years. I have worked with various generations of HPE ProLiant DL Servers, starting from G3, then G4, G5, G6, and G7. However, later on, the procurement of new physical servers was stopped, and the focus shifted more toward virtual environments. Moreover, it was more secure. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I would rate the stability of this solution an eight out of ten. In our organization, there are around 10,000 end-users. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I would rate the scalability of this solution a seven out of ten. How was the initial setup? The initial setup for HPE ProLiant DL Servers is easy. When it comes to the setup process, it's not about the number of steps involved. It depends on the overall experience. Generally, these servers are not overly complicated from the beginning. However, if you encounter features like iDRAC (integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) in Dell servers, there may be a slight learning curve if you're not familiar with it. In such cases, it might require a few days or even a week to get hands-on experience and become comfortable. Similarly, for any new technology, it's advisable to gain some experience before providing a review. I don't think you should attempt it blindly. So, regardless of the number of steps, my opinion is that for personal infrastructure or within a company, the initial setup should be manageable. What other advice do I have? I would recommend this solution, but it depends on whether you are using a blade server or a rack mount server. If it's a blade server, it offers easier connectivity and makes it convenient to replace components. Overall, I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
