Systems Comparison
HPE BladeSystem c-Class & HPE Synergy
HPE BladeSystem c-Class
Automated management at the resource pool level.
HPE OneView is to be purchased and deployed separately.
For the current generation of c-Class blade systems, the self-sufficient infrastructure unit is the chassis.
Blade server density in chassis is higher (16).
Switching is bound to a single chassis.
Operating system image is delivered by third-party means.
Involves connecting external storage systems.
No deliveries at the end of 2020, according to an official
HPE statement.
HPE Synergy
HPE OneView is built into the Synergy Composer and all hardware components are combined to one logic block.
The control system is oriented
to several chassis (up to 21).
Blade server density is less (12), however there is no limitations on utility types.
Switching is performed at the rack level (3-5 chassis), and all chassis in the rack are combined by a pair of network modules
(for fault tolerance).
A total of a pair of Virtual Connect switches serve up to 60 servers.
Image distribution is implemented using the built-in Image Streamer.
Works equally well with both external storage (3PAR disk resource management is built into Synergy) and internal disk resources (up to 200 drives per server).
HPE Synergy is ready for new technologies 12-15 years in advance (400Gb Ethernet, Gen-Z, etc.).
Optical cards and switches are already available.
