HP Enterprise Business page should not be merged into this article as a) it is significantly out of date - HP Enterprise Business became HP Enterprise Group more than three years ago b) HP Enterprise Group is just one of four major business units to make up Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Agreed: In Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the Enterprise Group is one element of the company with three other areas, Enterprise Services, Software and Financial Services. Enterprise Group should be referred to in the new Hewlett Packard Enterprise page, including the four main areas of Enterprise Group. The old HP Enterprise Business page is out of date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.182.123 ( talk) 18:14, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Suggest HP Enterprise Business be appropriately updated and linked to from Hewlett Packard Enterprise — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.1.197.37 ( talk • contribs)
I would also suggest that the grammar and punctuation errors in the piece be corrected. It's embarrassing..... 14:01, 23 November 2015 (UTC) 104.129.204.85 ( talk)
This product is not independently notable, and so should be merged and redirected; see WP:PRODUCT. If that is not suitable, it should go to AfD. FalconK ( talk) 19:59, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Editors should please note that this page refers to the company created by the split of the original Hewlett-Packard on Nov 1, 2015, and should ONLY be linked to from other articles if the context refers to events AFTER the split. Any references to HP prior to the split should be linked directly to Hewlett-Packard. I would appreciate if editors could go through all the pages that link to here and HP Inc. and correct those that reference events before Nov 1, 2015: see here for an example of what I would like to be done.

Hi, I'm Andrada and I work for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). I've made an account to suggest improvements to articles related to the company. I've saved a draft entry for the President and CEO at Draft:Antonio Neri (businessman). I'm looking for editors who can review and move the draft, presumably to Antonio Neri (businessman) since there's already a page for Antonio Neri. Thank you.

It strikes me that the "Naming" section is incorrect - "HP Enterprise" is a valid abbreviation of the name. Eilidhmax ( talk) 23:52, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello again, Andrada here on behalf of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) (as disclosed above: I am an employee of the company and here in an official capacity). I noticed the Acquisitions table is outdated.
I'm trying to get the article updated, but I won't be editing directly because of my conflict of interest. Can someone please review and update the page for me? Thank you. AMorar HPE ( talk) 02:17, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello again. Thanks to User:BrandonXLF for replying above and updating the article. Upon further thought, I think there's a better way to make the article more complete, informative, and helpful to readers, and less redundant. Currently some of HPE's acquisitions and divestitures are mentioned in the 'History' section, then there's a somewhat redundant 'Acquisitions' section and table further down. I propose creating an 'Acquisitions and divestitures' subsection within the 'History' section, and removing the duplicate 'Acquisitions' section/table. I've proposed subsection text below for editors to review, which describes:
The proposed section includes a simpler table of acquisitions to help readers at a glance. This is intended to replicate the current Acquisitions table with less detail.

HPE's subsidiaries include 3Com, 3Par, and Aruba. [1] 3Com was acquired by HP in 2009 for approximately $2.7 billion, [2] [3] and HP completed the $2.35 billion purchase of 3Par in 2010. [4] Aruba was formed when HP acquired Aruba Networks in May 2015 for $2.7 billion. [5] [6] HPE's enterprise services division was sold to Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in May 2016 for approximately $8.5 billion. [7] Part of the division's management and outsourcing services were acquired by HP with the purchase of Electronic Data Systems in 2008 for approximately $14 billion. The division generated approximately one-third of HPE's overall revenue and had close to 100,000 employees at the time. [8] [9] The merger with CSC was completed in April 2017, forming the new company DXC Technology. [10] [11] [12] HPE acquired Silicon Graphics International (SGI), which manufactures supercomputer hardware and software, in August 2016 for $275 million. [13] In September 2016, HPE announced plans to spin-off and combine its "non-core" software services with Micro Focus in a deal worth approximately $8.8 billion. HPE received $2.5 billion in cash, and the company's shareholders owned 50.1 percent of the new business. [14] The reverse takeover, completed almost one year later, was the largest acquisition of a foreign technology business by a British company to date, and made Micro Focus the nation's largest public technology company. [15] HPE sold its Cloud Foundry and OpenStack assets to SUSE in November 2016. HPE announced the acquisition of data management platform SimpliVity, the developer of the OmniCube hyper-converged infrastructure appliance, in January 2017 for US$650 million. [16] [17] In February, HPE acquired the security company Niara, which analyzes big data and uses machine learning to prevent cyberattacks, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition increased HPE's user behavior analytics portfolio, and the company announced plans to merge Niara's behavioral analytics technologies into Aruba's Network Access Control platform. [5] HPE agreed to acquire Nimble Storage, a producer of computer data storage and flash memory products, in March 2017 for approximately $1 billion. [18] The deal was completed in April, [19] and Nimble became a wholly owned subsidiary of HPE after being removed from the New York Stock Exchange. [20] HPE acquired 10,000 customers, and Nimble's predictive analytics is being used for storage products. [19] In September, HPE announced the purchase of Cloud Technology Partners (CTP), a Boston-based cloud computing company, for an undisclosed amount. CTP was merged into HPE's Pointnext division, which focuses on information technology consulting and deployment services, and the addition of CTP's 200 employees raised HPE's total number of employees to approximately 52,000. [21] [22] [23] HPE acquired five companies during the first year of Neri's tenure as CEO, including the data center management and software company QuattroLabs. [24] In March 2018, the company's Aruba subsidiary announced the purchase of Cape Networks for an undisclosed amount. [6] [25] The purchase expanded Aruba's portfolio of artificial intelligence and networking products, including analytics and reliability services. [26] HPE purchased the British cloud consulting and mobile app development company RedPixie in April for an undisclosed amount, further expanding HPE's Pointnext division. [27] [28] HPE confirmed the purchase of data center services company Plexxi in May, expanding HPE's hyperconverged services business as well as HPE Synergy's composable infrastructure offerings. [29] HPE further expanded its artificial intelligence and analytics services by purchasing the big data and hardware virtualization firm BlueData in November 2018. [30] [31] HPE announced plans to acquire Cray in May 2019 for approximately US$1.3 billion, soon after Cray landed a US$600 million United States Department of Energy contract to supply the Frontier supercomputer to Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2021. [32] The acquisition was completed in September 2019 for approximately US$1.4 billion. [33] HPE has acquired the intellectual property of other data storage companies, including AppQ, IBrix, Lefthand Networks, PolyServe, StorageApps, and TransSoft. [19] References

If the proposed sub-section were added, some text could be removed from the current 'History' section to eliminate redundancy, including:

Here's the best way to review my proposed edits:
I know I'm suggesting substantial changes here, but my goals are to make the article more accurate and complete, eliminate redundancy, and improve flow by grouping all acquisition and divestitures text within a single sub-section, rather than being scattered throughout the company's general history and then being duplicated in a table further down. I'm trying to get the article updated, but I won't be editing directly because of my conflict of interest. @
BrandonXLF: Can you or another editor please review and update the page for me? I'm happy to discuss further or answer questions. Thanks!
