Overview

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), known in Chinese as 慧与科技, is an American enterprise information-technology company formed in 2015 when the former Hewlett-Packard Company split into two listed businesses. The enterprise side — servers, storage, networking, converged infrastructure, software and services — became Hewlett Packard Enterprise, while the personal-computer and printer business became HP Inc. HPE is headquartered in Spring, Texas, and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker HPE. HPE positions itself as an edge-to-cloud platform company. Its portfolio spans HPE ProLiant and HPE Synergy compute, HPE Alletra and HPE Primera storage, HPE Aruba Networking for wired and wireless networking, HPE GreenLake for consumption-based hybrid cloud, and HPE Ezmeral software. It also provides technology services, financial services and high-performance computing systems, including Cray supercomputers following the 2019 acquisition of Cray Inc. HPE sells primarily to enterprises, governments, service providers and large institutions rather than consumers. Its strategy emphasizes as-a-service delivery through HPE GreenLake, hybrid cloud, AI and high-performance computing infrastructure, and networking through Aruba. The company has pursued a series of portfolio moves — acquiring Cray, acquiring Juniper Networks (announced 2024), and divesting or restructuring non-core software and services assets — to concentrate on networking, hybrid cloud and AI infrastructure. As a corporate brand, HPE carries the legacy of Hewlett-Packard's engineering culture while operating as an independent public company with its own leadership, including CEO Antonio Neri. Its brand identity centers on enterprise trust, hybrid IT, and the shift to subscription and consumption models.

History

Hewlett Packard Enterprise traces its roots to Hewlett-Packard Company, founded in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard in a Palo Alto garage. Over decades HP grew into one of the world's largest technology companies, spanning test equipment, calculators, computers, printers, servers and enterprise services. In October 2014 HP announced it would split into two publicly traded companies. The separation took effect on November 1, 2015: the enterprise business — servers, storage, networking, converged systems, software, services and financial services — became Hewlett Packard Enterprise, while PCs and printers became HP Inc. Meg Whitman, who had led HP through the split, became HPE's first CEO. HPE then reshaped its portfolio. It spun off and merged its enterprise services business with Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in 2017, creating DXC Technology. It divested software assets, including the sale of its Autonomy-related and other software lines, and invested in hybrid IT and the intelligent edge. In 2018 Antonio Neri became CEO. In 2019 HPE acquired supercomputer maker Cray Inc., strengthening its high-performance computing and AI infrastructure business. HPE launched and expanded HPE GreenLake, its consumption-based IT platform, making as-a-service delivery a central part of its strategy. In January 2024 HPE announced an agreement to acquire Juniper Networks, a major networking vendor, to significantly expand its networking business alongside Aruba. The company continues to focus on hybrid cloud, AI infrastructure, networking and edge computing, and remains listed on the NYSE under HPE.
