About Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Hewlett Packard Enterprise sells networking, supercomputing, compute, storage, hybrid cloud and services products for enterprise and AI workloads. HPE groups its offering into a portfolio that spans supercomputing, a unified control plane, networking, compute, storage and end-to-end services.

On networking, HPE says its HPE Networking products capture, secure and transport data to users and applications from edge to cloud. HPE describes an HPE Self-Driving Network from HPE Networking as self-optimizing, self-healing and self-protecting. HPE says that networks are shifting from reactive systems to adaptive ones, where intelligence is essential to sustain performance, security and control in dynamic environments. HPE also says that in the AI era, an intelligent, autonomous network is required to properly serve both IT and the business.

HPE says self-driving actions anticipate and eliminate network issues before they impact users. HPE describes its AI-driven systems as making split-second decisions, adapting, optimizing and acting without delay. HPE returns to the 2027 Ryder Cup with a Self-Driving Network built for golf's biggest stage.

Beyond networking, HPE offers HPE Cray Supercomputing, and says its supercomputing products are aimed at faster time-to-results and accelerated AI. HPE describes its compute as workload-optimized compute for a data-first, hybrid world, and its storage as a way to store, protect and manage data across distributed environments. HPE also describes services to plan, implement and optimize an environment.

On cloud, HPE describes a unified hybrid cloud foundation that brings AI, data and applications together. HPE says it offers one unified control plane for AI and enterprise workloads, wherever they run. HPE says that most AI never makes it beyond experimentation, and that real impact comes from systems designed to operate reliably, scale confidently and deliver outcomes in production. HPE offers validated architectures built for production, so customers can move faster. HPE says the future of AI is deciding and doing, not just answering.

On security, HPE frames its cybersecurity message around strengthening agentic AI safeguards, closing AI-discovered software flaws and accelerating PQC readiness.

HPE names customers across several sectors. HPE describes one customer that builds a foundation for interaction, connection and entertainment on HPE Networking. HPE describes another that applies AI to energy and engineering challenges with the full HPE stack across edge, compute, cloud, storage and networking. HPE also reports that DNEG scales visual effects and animation workflows with HPE servers and financial services, and that HPE and Miami HEAT transform the Kaseya Center fan experience with an AI-native, self-driving network.

HPE also reports record Q3 FY26 results with broad-based demand strength across the portfolio. HPE and Oracle deepen networking collaboration to accelerate gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure.[1]
