    Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    We had a POC on a Cisco UCS Blade system. We found that for our purposes, it required too much power. The particular system we had as POC required 4 x 30Amp circuits. We were going to use it to set up a VMWare ESXi cluster. In comparison, if we had used four HPE Proliant DL380 …

    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    I've used Dell poweredge servers and they were great too, but I found remotely deploying HPE hardware was significantly easier and faster.

    One thing I love about HPE is when i got to deploy an OS remotely via iLO I can utilize the virtual media URL as opposed to mounting an iso. …

    Better engineered and longer, more consistent production cycles. A G10 is a G10, even 3 years later. Many other brands make engineering changes constantly and the same model purchased a couple years apart use different drivers, different firmware, different parts. W can buy …

    Cisco does not have a range of UCS equipment for small businesses at affordable costs, this is what makes it important and strong in these types of sectors or growing fields or small businesses. Additionally, the cheaper Cisco equipment does not compare in price with HPE …

    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    HPE ProLiant DLs are nice servers. They provide good performance, have scalability potential, are very reliable, and fit our expectations. Service support is high quality. In most cases, I prefer to buy HPE servers again and keep them as long as possible because they provide …

    Both Dell PowerEdge and HPE ProLiant are used in my environment but HPE has been in use longer, they are stable and reliable.

    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    Cisco UCS Series is an enterprise-grade rack server offering from Cisco. It is a very reliable product and backed by Cisco's global support as well as a warranty. However, it is an expensive solution and not in the budget of many small to medium organizations. In these …

    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    While Cisco and Dell make fine servers, the Compaq pedigree of HP ProLiant servers is in their DNA and one can see that by just opening one. The internal design is very well thought out and the modularity is unrivaled. While Dell may be cheaper for enterprise servers, one …

    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    In my personal opinion, Proliant DL is much better than comparable hardware from other manufacturers. Although the price tag might (or might not be higher) you get what you pay for. The couple times we decided to invest in comparable hardware from two other manufacturers, it …

    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    The ML series is a bit more expensive and also larger, it does pack more power but the DL stands above in terms of performance and cost when comparing the two. The DL also has great storage capacities where the amount of desired bays can be installed and even at a later time.

    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    I came from a Dell shop to an HPE shop. The PowerEdge series are good systems but I was never a fan of the iDRAC remote management component. I realize that this is subjective, but I also feel like firmware updates were more painful with Dell's servers. UEFI has leveled this …

    These are complementary products, our HP servers running VMware connect to the Nimble SAN for storage and these work great together, it's like one big machine consisting of the VMware HP servers and the Nimble SAN (now owned by HPE). we run 10GB connections between these …

    Chose HPE ProLiant DL
    I formerly come from 100% Dell shops. I was thrust into an all HP environment and I was pleasantly surprised on how well the ProLiant brand solution stacks up to Dell PowerEdge. I think the HP solutions might scale better than Dell in a larger environment, but Dell has made in …
