The solution is a foundational part of our IT infrastructure and offers remarkable flexibility, reliability, and extensive software support
What is our primary use case?
Our facility relies heavily on PowerEdge, spanning multiple generations. It is the foundation of our entire infrastructure, supporting a wide array of workloads, ranging from administrative tasks to private cloud and scientific computing. PowerEdge is a versatile and reliable platform that we can depend on.
How has it helped my organization?
PowerEdge has been a foundational part of our IT infrastructure, and its Fresh Air configuration saved us from disasters on multiple occasions. The solution's ability to survive extreme conditions has been invaluable, and its reliability has been astounding. We currently run three generations of PowerEdge in our data centers.
The solution offers remarkable flexibility, reliability, and extensive software support. PowerEdge is capable of running Microsoft private cloud, VMware private cloud, OpenStack, Linux distributions, and scientific workloads. The infrastructure is truly remarkable.
We can typically expect a 20 percent improvement in performance from Intel processors with each new generation, depending on the workload.
Utilizing the OpenManage capabilities of the platform is essential for us since we have a limited number of personnel to manage the PowerEdge that we possess. Thus, OpenManage's console productivity is invaluable for our IT staff.
The PowerEdge servers have proven to be invaluable in preventing up to 90 percent of unplanned production downtime. When other servers were failing due to extreme heat, PowerEdge was able to withstand the conditions and keep running. This made the solution an invaluable part of our operations.
The introduction of PowerEdge servers drastically increased the flexibility of our operations. We are leveraging the solution's capabilities for a wide range of applications and it is certainly the most versatile platform available to us. We deployed a variety of server models in different sizes, ranging from 1U to 2U and beyond, providing us with the flexibility to handle almost any task.
What is most valuable?
We are testing the latest PowerEdge from Dell for scientific workloads such as machine learning, deep learning, data analysis, and engineering simulation. We see excellent performance improvement and power consumption control. This is part of our Green Data Center project, where we take into account the “green” capabilities of the hardware we buy.
We are beginning to employ cyber-resilient architecture features. It is no longer just the platform security of the past that we take into consideration when making a new acquisition, but now we are also bearing in mind the security features on the server side due to the ever-evolving environment.
We found that the power consumption inside the BIOS of the latest PowerEdge has been significantly improved. The power control capabilities are now much more precise and the iDRAC tool that allows external programs to control the system's power consumption is also much more detailed than its predecessor.
We have been utilizing OpenManage for many years as beta testers, and our experience with OpenManage has been overwhelmingly positive. Dell OpenManage console is incredibly user-friendly and has made our lives significantly easier.
What needs improvement?
I would like to have additional HPC and AI capabilities on general Dell PowerEdge servers. To optimize the PowerEdge for HPC and AI, modified designs may be necessary.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Dell PowerEdge .Next for two months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability and power consumption of Dell PowerEdge .Next are incredibly impressive. We have been running a single unit 24 hours a day for a month, primarily to test its stability and understand the power consumption control capabilities, and it exceeded expectations. Compared to the previous PowerEdge models, the stability and power management of .Next are remarkable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are no issues with the scalability. Up to now, I haven't been able to identify any drawbacks of the platform I'm using.
How are customer service and support?
Dell's technical support is perfect and one of the reasons we buy their solutions.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What was our ROI?
We see a return on investment. The performance of the platform, which we tested on virtualization platforms such as VMware, is very impressive. PCIe 5 has made great improvements in communication and storage. Depending on what we can afford, Intel Scalable Architecture CPUs are more powerful than ever before.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing of Dell PowerEdge .Next has changed drastically due to the introduction of the latest technologies such as PCIe 5, DDR5, and the next generation of CPUs. This caused the prices of CPUs, DRAM, and PCIe cards to skyrocket. Consequently, it is difficult to compare the new pricing to what it was two years ago since the market has evolved significantly. The pricing of PowerEdge .Next is higher than it was before.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Our university is similar to a hardware supermarket, offering almost all brands of hardware, including Lenovo and HP. Although I have not had the opportunity to experience the newest HPE ProLiant 11 machines, I can say that PowerEdge is more reliable, more customizable, and has better management compared to other brands. The iDRAC capabilities, with its easy-to-use remote management, integrate seamlessly with OpenManage. When we purchase a PowerEdge server, we don't need to worry about hidden or additional costs for the management. As for the future, this remains to be seen.
What other advice do I have?
I give Dell PowerEdge .Next a ten out of ten.
We have been testing the latest generation of Dell PowerEdge systems in our data center for the past couple of months, in addition to the generations already in production.
Since 2016, our data center experience has been excellent, with very few hardware issues, including machines that still run from that year.
In our PowerEdge servers, we predominantly use Intel Xeon scalable processors of various generations, with AMD processors making up the remaining 10 percent.
We see a lot of improvement over the generations of PowerEdge. I must admit that while there is plenty of competition, the difference is remarkable. Enhancing PowerEdge is no easy task, yet Dell Technologies took great strides to incorporate customer feedback. The platform grew in flexibility, such as the range of disks available, the evolving iDRAC features to meet customer needs, and so much more.
We host a substantial infrastructure at the University. While we utilize public cloud services such as Microsoft 365 and Google Meets, we do not use them for computing, engineering simulations, or any internal services. All of our services are kept in-house.
The PowerEdge .Next platform is more than just its CPU, it encompasses all the solution's features, from the iDRAC to the next-generation RAID controller, which is 20 to 30 percent faster than the previous generation. Furthermore, Dell PowerEdge .Next's new architecture helps to drive the entire platform, making its performance even more impressive.

Solid product that never fails and runs forever
What is our primary use case?
Our customers only have light use cases of this solution, deploying one or two applications because they do not want to spend too much money.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of Dell PowerEdge M is iDRAC.
The product is very solid, never fails, and runs forever.
What needs improvement?
Dell PowerEdge M needs to run AMD CPUs on it.
For future releases, I would like to see the Ethernet connectivity updated. It is a very old technology. Dell has alliances with other companies that make their networking components, like Cisco and Brocade, but the choice is very slim. Dell also has their own networking products which are good however, there needs to be a better selection of networking components.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Dell products and platforms for 20 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This solution is outstanding when it comes to stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Dell PowerEdge M has its limits. There are only so many blades that you can put in a chassis. As far as blade service goes, it's good, but it has limits with scalability.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support from Dell is not good. I rate it a zero out of five.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Negative
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Dell PowerEdge M is easy. The applied servers are very easy, making it one of the most straightforward products to deploy.
What about the implementation team?
Deployment and maintenance of this product require two engineers.
What was our ROI?
You will see the return on investment of Dell PowerEdge M in about two months.
What other advice do I have?
Anyone looking to implement Dell PowerEdge M into their organization should make sure that they have a channel partner that knows the product inside and out.
I would rate this solution a nine out of 10.

Initial set up complicated, but after, easy to configure and use, many packages available
What is most valuable?
The initial set up was fairly easy. It wasn't difficult compared to other packages. We did the initial set up for Synergy's fibre channel switches before we started but afterwards, we did not have to worry about using the virtualized fibre or anything with them, the storage automatically came with it.
What needs improvement?
Their features and product overall are comparable to others on the market, nothing stands out. The company should have either been more clear with the packaging, or a little bit more forthcoming with what you needed, what is in the package, and what came with it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for a couple of years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is pretty stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution integrated well. We were able to still use Synergy, which is our main platform, and usually, as long as you can still use your main platform for upgrades then it is easy to scale. However, if you were to start changing the main hardware out it then becomes more difficult to be able to scale.
How are customer service and technical support?
The customer service was pretty good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
My career started with using HP servers. The problem aroused when the HP servers became very hot and resource-intensive. We then started using Cisco products, and they were about the same as HP with the issues we were having. Once we moved to Dell products, it all came together, we could use all three. All three had their own separate purpose.
How was the initial setup?
The set up is complex. However, once everything is up and running, it was pretty straightforward. We had a vendor assisting with the initial set up but once we were through those initial problems, finding out the order of how it is supposed to be set up, and finding out the packages needed, you are good to go to use them.
What about the implementation team?
We had to contact a vendor to give us some help with some of the areas of the install.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There are many packages available, it was a benefit using a vendor to help us get a package we needed. If we would not have gone with the vendor we might have been charged unnecessarily for packages we did not need.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend using engineers to help make the design for the setup of the solution. This will allow for a clear view of what is needed for your environment, they can identify issues and know exactly what packages are needed before purchasing.
I rate Dell PowerEdge M a seven out of ten.

The solution is made with high-quality hardware.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Dell PowerEdge M for approximately seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Dell PowerEdge M is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
We have had some issues with the vendor's support that we have received. When you open up a support case with Dell they send a partner to assist you and in our experience, they are lacking knowledge about the solution. There are times when you need professional support from the vendor that knows the solution well.
Here in my country, it has been a problem for Dell to keep offices here. This has been a problem for other vendors too, such as HP.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Dell PowerEdge M price is comparable to other solutions but cheaper than IBM. However, the IBM solution is a higher grade solution whereas Dell PowerEdge M is a medium-level solution.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have evaluated HPE solutions.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others.
I rate Dell PowerEdge M an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Average pricing and good feature sets but is complex to set up
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for hyper-converged infrastructures with VMware and physical/virtual SQL solutions.
How has it helped my organization?
Both Dell and Cisco would be data center modernization. We're modernizing from a three-tier to a single infrastructure.
What is most valuable?
The enterprise manager feature sets are great. It's great for managing overall infrastructure.
It is scalable.
The setup is fine if you have some expertise.
It offers average pricing.
What needs improvement?
They are pretty much all the same in terms of what this solution versus competitors offers. Cisco is number one, HP Synergy is number two, and this solution would be number three.
I'm more into PowerEdge R-600, 700, and 800 series instead of blades.
Technical support is not good.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for a couple of years from a presales perspective.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I'd rate the stability at a five or six out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is fine. It's blade infrastructure. You just basically plug into converged switches. It isn't a single pane of glass for management. You don't have the feature set that HPE and Cisco have with the fabric interconnects and everything. You still can scale up, however.
How are customer service and support?
I've never had a good experience with technical support.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Negative
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've used Cisco and HP as well.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is a bit more complex unless you are really savvy with Dell. I'm more used to HP and Cisco. Other engineers handle Dell-centric blade solutions. We've been migrating off Dell blades to HPE and Cisco.
What was our ROI?
It is possible to get an ROI from this solution. I probably wouldn't say you'd get an ROI from Cisco or HPE.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'd rate the pricing as average. It's not terrible. The lead times over Cisco and HPE are weeks as opposed to months.
What other advice do I have?
I'd advise potential new users that they need to have experience with PowerEdge and management to understand all of the features on offer.
I'd rate the solution six out of ten.

Good SAN and LAN traffic, manageability, and upgradability
What is our primary use case?
I have been using Dell EMC for a number of use cases in my organization. We have made a cluster system and we have it for the LAN and SAN traffic that passes through it.
So far, I haven't applied the LAN traffic and commerce solutions, but I have planned to integrate the solutions. I have not deployed the SAN traffic. I have a one-month plan to deploy the SAN traffic to pass through the LAN switch. This model only has converged solutions. We can do the cluster system so we have converged solutions.
This is the latest generation for Dell EMC Blade System. It has better facilities. I have used the M1000 series and compared to before, the current version is better.
What is most valuable?
I have compared Dell EMC to other solutions and have found it to be good. The SAN and LAN traffic, manageability, and upgradability are all good.
What needs improvement?
In terms of improvement, it should also offer a hyper-converged option.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability is the same compared to the other systems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability depends on your needs.
I work in the IT division. Thirty people work under this infrastructure.
Two or three people are required for maintenance.
We use all of the blade systems. There are 32 blades. All of the blades run and provide a service. On the other side, there are also 32 blades that are no occupied. We are enrolling the service over there.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is really good. I needed to do an upgrade. The network engineer gave us the total possibility to upgrade. They're really good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not very complex compared to other models. Other models are more complex. It is better than other systems. We are still in the process of migrating.
We are upgrading the legacy system to this system. This system is really good as far as the performance, compared to other legacy or older blade models. All of the blade traffic goes through this to a switch.
What other advice do I have?
For organizations that don't have a blade system, they should start with planning in terms of how to segregate their systems in terms of LAN and SAN systems.
My advice would be to consider that both SAN and LAN traffic are ensured to come together and not separate.
I would rate the Blade Servers a nine out of ten.

iDRAC features make server management easier but room for improvement in processor capabilities
What is our primary use case?
We used it for normal Windows servers before, in my previous client. They used it for regular Windows clients, and they have a significant infrastructure.
What is most valuable?
I have explored the new iDRAC features. It's similar to what we have in HP as well.
Using the iDRAC feature makes server management much easier for this type of setup. It's quite useful.
What needs improvement?
Perhaps the processor needs some improvement in terms of processing features. If I remember correctly, the Intel Xeon processor shipped with the Dell PowerEdge M is the 6426Y.
This processor is a 16-core processor that can handle around 32 threads. Now, the HP server we are considering has a 6430 processor, which is 32 cores. It can handle 64 threads. So it's twice as much as the Dell PowerEdge M. However, the memory module, the DDR4-4800, is the same.
But according to reviews and online sources, the memory performance is much better on the Dell PowerEdge. That's where the confusion arises.
Another area of improvement could be scalability.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working as a system admin for 15 years. So, we used Dell PowerEdge M in the past.
We had Dell PowerEdge M ranging from the 2900 to the 2950 models. We have the 360 G5, G6, G7, and the 380 G7. And later on, we started virtualizing the environment.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
If we consider the end users, it would be more than 10,000. This setup is for the Ministry of Education, specifically for a college.
I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Our clients are planning to upgrade the system infrastructure with Cisco Blades. They want to move away from the complexity of managing other servers.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
In my current client's environment, but they are more inclined towards Cisco servers and have a large infrastructure based on Cisco blades. They have three different clusters with individual hosts, and they primarily use Hyper-V rather than VMware.
The processor performance is better on the HP, while Dell has an advantage in terms of memory performance. The client is having trouble deciding which one to go for.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution a seven out of ten. I have worked with the older servers. Even though they were quite old, they performed well because it has been a long time since we acquired Dell servers. I purchased Dell PowerEdge R730 or Dell PowerEdge R740. In general, the parts are reasonably priced compared to other products. They are easy to manage. And I strongly believe that the parts are of better quality.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

A solution with an easy pre-installation and preparation process with a friendly user interface
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for web services.
How has it helped my organization?
Dell PowerEdge M has a centralized administration for networks; instead of working with standalone servers, you have a centralized administration console. So you can administrate all servers from one location.
What is most valuable?
The networking features for administration and working with the server are valuable.
What needs improvement?
There is currently a new generation of Dell Blade Systems, so it requires time to transition to the new generation. However, the current version of the solution we are working with meets our requirements.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using the solution for approximately twelve years and are currently using series 620.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable and works on customized sites and virtual classes.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable, and you can scale the resources up and down, which was very important for us in the COVID-19 situation. The servers work to verify, and the resources are raised up and handle all the web applications that are working and installed on it.
How are customer service and support?
Our first contact is our partner Dell, who provides us with customer support directly.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used HPE standalone and Lenovo standalone servers, either rack or tower servers. However, we prefer Dell servers because the pre-installation and preparation process is easy, and the user interface is more friendly for the administrators.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward for our team because we have years of experience and complete documentation in case we face any issues during deployment.
What about the implementation team?
We implemented the solution in-house.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of the solution is reasonable.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution as ten out of ten. The solution is good, and I recommend it to users considering implementing it depending on their business needs, as some businesses require standalone servers and some require central servers.
