Recommendations to others considering HPE Synergy:

• Recommendation to others considering HPE synergy is to have segregated san virtual connects if the bandwidth is high and the budget allows

• If Administrators don't have experience with HPE Oneview, they will have a learning curve to understand how things shall be managed and how it is structured (but it is not complicated)

• Use a single LAG to combine all the network uplinks to have higher bandwidth

• Always update all the components including one view, Virtual connects, frame links, compute modules ... Since Oneview is ameliorating fast

• Watch out for the firmware update compatibility matrix from the HPE website at first it is a bit confusing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HPE Synergy?

I’m very fond of the composability of the infrastructure, so being able to build our own server profiles, then build up the infrastructure that we need from compute modules is very much convenient and beneficial. Just automating all the management tasks that we have for our server hardware has been incredibly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HPE Synergy?

We experienced few to no problems, but one of the issues that we did have is with the firmware baselining. We would also like to see SaaS connectivity and sharing of storage between frames sometime in Synergy’s near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HPE Synergy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Synergy gives time back to our operations team and helps us track and report automatically to HPE for any questions, concerns or issues. Also, storage, networking and computing is combined in one chassis, so you save a lot of extra space in the datacenter which is also quite helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HPE Synergy?

I like how HPE Synergy's built-in software has the intelligence and technology to boast excellent auto discovery capabilities. Also, the software's fluid resource pools allow customers to immediately start up the infrastructure and have it be ready to run physical and virtual applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HPE Synergy?

You definitely pay a premium for the highly advanced software and that is understandable; however, it does make this product a bit expensive. That being said, it is difficult to find a perfectly similar competing software and once I found HPE Synergy I became more than okay with paying the premium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HPE Synergy:

Another perk is definitely that HPE Synergy builds upon application specific templates which allows infrastructure to be used/applied and constantly updated. These templates make it increasingly easy for for customers to use composable infrastructure in a way that meets the needs of each of their applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HPE Synergy solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Composable infrastructure that HPE Synergy offers allows our IT system to manage infrastructure as code and thus optimizes application performance. HPE Synergy has helped our IT team reduce infrastructure costs, provide flexibility as resource needs change and also allows our company to get to market faster with speedy business critical applications.
