Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) is a global technology company that was formed in November 2015 through the separation of Hewlett-Packard Company into two publicly traded entities. While HP Inc. retained the personal computer and printer business, Hewlett Packard Enterprise took on the enterprise technology infrastructure, software, and services segments. The split marked a strategic shift to focus on the needs of large organizations and data-driven enterprises seeking scalable, secure, and high-performance IT solutions.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s core business spans a range of products and services designed to help organizations modernize their IT environments. Its offerings include enterprise servers and storage systems, such as the ProLiant server line and the 3PAR storage arrays, network switches and wireless infrastructure under the Aruba brand, and mission-critical computing platforms. In recent years, HPE has expanded its portfolio to encompass edge-to-cloud software solutions, including its HPE GreenLake platform, which delivers on-demand capacity, consumption-based IT, and integrated cloud services for hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.

The company operates in more than 100 countries, serving a diverse set of industries including finance, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, and public sector organizations. HPE maintains regional headquarters across the Americas, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and the Asia-Pacific region, supported by an extensive network of partners, resellers, and managed service providers. This global reach enables HPE to tailor its solutions to local market requirements while leveraging its worldwide scale for research, development, and supply chain optimization.

Under the leadership of President and CEO Antonio Neri, Hewlett Packard Enterprise has pursued a strategic roadmap focused on innovation in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and edge computing. The company’s executive team has emphasized sustainability initiatives and digital transformation services to help clients reduce carbon footprints and accelerate their path to a digital-first enterprise.
