7. HISTORY OF HPE
The Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) is an American multinational information technology
company based in Spring, Texas, United States.
HPE was founded on November 1, 2015, in Palo Alto, California, as part of the splitting of the
Hewlett-Packard company.[2] It is a business-focused organization which works in servers, storage,
networking, containerization software and consulting and support.
The split was structured so that the former Hewlett-Packard Company would change its name to HP
Inc. and spin off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a newly created company. HP Inc. retained the old
HP's personal computer and printing business, as well as its stock-price history and original NYSE
ticker symbol for Hewlett-Packard; Enterprise trades under its own ticker symbol: HPE. At the time
of the spin-off, HPE's revenue was slightly less than that of HP Inc.[3]
In 2017, HPE spun off its Enterprise Services business and merged it with Computer Sciences
Corporation to become DXC Technology. Also in 2017, it spun off its software business segment and
merged it with Micro Focus.[4]
