Hewlett Packard Enterprise
About
Enterprise infrastructure company spun off from HP Inc. in 2015 — providing servers (ProLiant, Cray), storage (Alletra, Nimble), networking (Aruba), and edge-to-cloud services (GreenLake). GreenLake is HPE's as-a-service platform delivering on-premises infrastructure on a consumption billing model, competing with Dell APEX and Azure Arc. Aruba Networks (acquired 2015) is the enterprise wireless and wired networking portfolio. The HPE Cray supercomputer division serves HPC and AI at the largest s...

Ideal Customer
- HPE's primary sweet spot is large enterprises and mid-market organizations — primarily Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies, government agencies, educational and research institutions, and service providers — that require on-premises or hybrid cloud infrastructure with enterprise-grade security and compliance.
- Mid-sized enterprises are an increasingly important segment, with GreenLake specifically designed to give mid-market buyers access to consumption-based compute and networking without large capital outlays.
Key Differentiators
- HPE's most distinct technical differentiators are its Silicon Root of Trust (hardware-level firmware security embedded into every ProLiant server at the silicon level, making firmware tamper-proof from factory through end-of-life) and HPE GreenLake (a Gartner-recognized leader in as-a-service infrastructure that lets customers consume on-premises compute, storage, and networking on a monthly consumption basis).
- The acquisition of Juniper Networks added AI-native networking via Juniper's Mist AI platform, positioning HPE as a full-stack alternative to Cisco across campus, data center, and WAN networking.
Industries Served
- HPE serves a broad range of industries including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, public sector/government, education, energy, hospitality, sports and entertainment, and research institutions.
- The company holds specialized certifications and solutions for key verticals — including TISAX certification for the automotive industry, FedRAMP authorization for government cloud use, and dedicated solution competencies for SAP HANA, VDI, and high-performance computing environments used in research and scientific workloads.
Service Coverage
- Hewlett Packard Enterprise operates as a fully global technology company, serving customers across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ).
- In fiscal year 2025, HPE generated $34.3 billion in total revenue, with roughly $13.2 billion from the Americas, $10.2 billion from EMEA, and $6.7 billion from APJ in FY2024.
Partnerships
- HPE operates one of the largest channel ecosystems in enterprise IT, with approximately 90,000 partners — including World Wide Technology (WWT), TD SYNNEX, Computacenter, Wipro, and Infosys — collectively driving 60–70% of HPE revenues.
- Its deepest technology partnership is with NVIDIA, formalized as 'NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE,' a co-developed portfolio of AI solutions with joint go-to-market integrations that also includes global system integrators like Deloitte, HCLTech, TCS, and Wipro.
Company Size & Ownership
- HPE was founded on November 1, 2015, as a spin-off from the original Hewlett-Packard Company — itself founded in 1939 — when HP split into HPE (enterprise infrastructure) and HP Inc. (PCs and printers).
- As of fiscal year 2025, HPE employs approximately 67,000 people globally and reported annual revenue of $34.3 billion, up 13.8% year-over-year from $30.1 billion in FY2024.
Compliance & Certifications
- HPE holds global ISO/IEC 27001 certification for more than 90 sites across 40 countries, along with SOC 1 and SOC 2 attestations for a number of its customer support centers.
- Its compliance portfolio also includes TISAX certification for the automotive sector, FedRAMP authorization for HPE Aruba Networking Central (covering U.S. government deployments), and CSA STAR assessments for its cloud management platforms.
