    Innovative technology, small company without the burdens of bolt-on integrations from acquisitions. Ability to scale performance and capacity independently is a true differentiator. Other companies have tried but turns into very costly endeavor to achieve.

    Best suited for virtualization and multi-environment implementations. Bare metal deployments have a few more limitations.

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    • Firmware repository size limitations could be larger (was increased recently but still is only room for a few SPPs)
    • Profile template updates flag all machines that haven't had their profile updated from the template, causing the dashboard to go red with warnings and can cause unnecessary concern
    • OneView, while powerful isn't as user friendly as it could be

    The hardware has fulfilled all of the promises that it made when we first acquired it. The only thing that would preclude this would be if the organization decided to holistically switch hardware vendors for reasons other than performance and feature sets.

    Fungible matches density, but gives ability to expand the performance characteristics with the DPU technology

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    While all similar offerings can achieve basically the same thing, HPE Synergy stands out against Cisco and Dell offerings with respect to manageability, ease of use and flexibility - HPE Synergy offers configurations groups of chassis to create logical enclosures that can be managed as a single entity and also blades in any slot can be plumbed and allocated as necessary to multiple uplinks. This is one level more flexible than the others which limits configurations of blades in a single chassis to similar uplink settings. Also, the HPE Synergy chassis itself supports 12 blades vs 10 in competitive offerings.

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    • Eased concerns for go-live of a huge new deployment as we knew we could respond to any scaling concern swiftly and thoroughly
    • Hardware has been rock solid since implementation
    • Limits to initially deployed logical enclosure configurations have been addressed rapidly by the introduction of new hardware with fast speeds/additional management ring connectivity options
