HPE ProLiant DL 8 rating
Rating: 9 out of 10
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use HPE ProLiant DL as rack services and in some cases VMWare clusters. We use the H7000 chassis for BL460 and above. I have been using them is various clients and they seem solid as hardware can get. I would recommend them as a preferred OEM partner.
Pros
- Hardware in small footprint
- Nice Riser cards
- solid intel processors
Cons
- The firmware seems to be lagging and not on a schedule that can be counted on.
Likelihood to Recommend
As a stand alone server for Informix as the processor does not handle the workload as it should with memory quads.
