hPE

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is an American multinational information technology company that provides a wide range of hardware, software, and services for enterprise customers. Its offerings include servers, storage, networking, software, and IT services, with an emphasis on hybrid cloud, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and edge computing. The company also markets as-a-service options through its HPE GreenLake cloud services platform, which allows customers to consume IT resources on a pay-per-use basis.

HPE traces its origins to the 2015 corporate split of Hewlett-Packard Company, when HP divided into two independent firms: HP Inc., focusing on consumer devices and printers, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, focusing on enterprise technology and services. Since then, HPE has pursued growth through a combination of organic development and strategic acquisitions to strengthen its position in storage, HPC, and hybrid IT.

Notable acquisitions include Nimble Storage (2017) and SimpliVity (2017) for data storage and hyper-converged infrastructure, Cray (2019/2020) for high-performance computing, and Silver Peak (2020) for software-defined WAN and edge networking. In 2019–2020, HPE also expanded its portfolio through partnerships and integration of edge-to-cloud solutions.

Headquartered in the United States, HPE operates globally with a large services and support network and employs tens of thousands of people worldwide. The company has been led by CEO Antonio Neri since 2018.
