Chose HPE BladeSystem
Within our organization, HPE BladeSystem enjoyed widespread recognition. Also, HPE Apollo can't make advantage of Virtual Connect, so every Apollo server needs to be hardwired into the LAN. That has far-reaching consequences for the network portal. We would then need to install …

Chose HPE BladeSystem
We've been using HPE BladeSystem for quite some time. Dell PowerEdge was the previous option, but they were slow compared to the new system. The HPE Synergy solution, which is essentially an upgraded version of the HPE BladeSystem, was recently bought by our company. …

Chose HPE BladeSystem
Incorporating HPE Blades Systems In order to house 16 physical servers, you just need 10 rack units instead of 32, which reduces the amount of heat produced and, in turn, the cost to cool the site. To have multiple Esx servers that can all be managed centrally, VMware …

Chose HPE BladeSystem
It's been said that BladeSystem is very similar to the UCS B-Series. While the network fabric features of the UCS B-Series outshine those of the BladeSystem, HPE has created extensive orchestration within HPE OneView to provide feature parity with and even surpass those of the …

Chose HPE BladeSystem
Our use of HPE BladeSystem goes back a long way. Previously we had a solution of IBM blades, however, it is not very comparable in terms of time. We recently acquired the HPE Synergy solution, which is essentially an evolution of the HPE BladeSystem. Market solutions such as …

Chose HPE BladeSystem
We only have evaluated and compared the HPE Apollo Server system. Is also a very decent system, but when it comes to network connections, HPE Blade with Virtual Connect has a big advantage. We can connect around 24 server in a two-Blade chassis with 8 x 50 GBe Ethernet Ports …

Chose HPE BladeSystem
We tested Cisco UCS in its early days, so this might be a bit of an old comparison, but UCS had the promise of being very configurable, with templates for everything and automatable for just about every task. However, even working with a Cisco engineer for weeks, we could not …

Chose HPE BladeSystem
HPE BladeSystem was a well known product in our company. Also HPE Apollo is not able to use Virtual Connect, what means that you have to connect every Apollo Server to the Network. That has a huge impact on the network site.

Senior System Administrator in Information Technology at AmWINS Group (Telecommunications, 501-1000 employees)
Chose HPE BladeSystem
BladeSystem provides a close experience to the UCS B-Series. UCS B-Series has a few capabilities within the network fabric that exceed what is capable on BladeSystem, but HPE has developed a lot of orchestration within HPE OneView to offer feature parity or even go beyond what …

All nodes can be managed centrally through the ILO interface. Users and services alike benefit from the lightning-fast response time. Enable service continuity during VM migration between nodes. The purchase of a blade system is something we endorse as a viable alternative for your business. In order for the convergent system to work, the architecture can be adapted to accommodate new devices, and by applying new modules, both the technology and the system's responsiveness to demands for high availability can be enhanced.

The small form factor of a blade server cannot accommodate expansion cards.
Shared infrastructure, like the interconnects, means a larger fault domain.
Firmware updates can be disruptive and administrators should pay close attention to firmware recipes and bundles to ensure compatibility between components.

We do not intend to make new investments in HPE BladeSystem as it is in the end-of-life phase and we have continued with the new HPE Synergy environment. It is therefore not a process of discarding, but of evolution. This environment will possibly continue to be used in the institution, but for less critical purposes and more related to the development of new solutions.

It's been said that BladeSystem is very similar to the UCS B-Series. While the network fabric features of the UCS B-Series outshine those of the BladeSystem, HPE has created extensive orchestration within HPE OneView to provide feature parity with and even surpass those of the UCS B-Series. The fundamental distinction between the two is whether the focus is on the computing (BladeSystem) or the fabric (UCS). In contrast to UCS's tight fabric integration, BladeSystem's centralized focus on servers simplifies administration.
