Description: HPE Hewlett Packard Enterprise December 17, 2025
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) delivers end-to-end IT infrastructure that enables enterprises to capture, analyze and act on data, spanning general-purpose and workload-optimized servers (ProLiant, Synergy, Cray, Edgeline, NonStop) and a full-stack Intelligent-Edge portfolio under the Aruba brand, which includes Wi-Fi, switches, SD-WAN, security and analytics, many of which are offered via the GreenLake consumption model.
Beyond hardware, HPE monetizes financing, leasing, utility-based consumption and professional services, and it leverages its research arm (HP Labs) and partner ecosystem (OEMs, ISVs, systems integrators) to sell integrated solutions to large commercial and public-sector customers.
Key recent metrics: FY 2024 revenue of $29.1 bn, with GreenLake subscription revenue growing ~30 % YoY and now representing roughly 15 % of total revenue; operating margin at 6.2 % (up from 5.4 % in FY 2023) as the company shifts to higher-margin recurring models. The broader data-center market is projected to expand ~8 % CAGR through 2028, driven by AI/ML workloads and edge-computing demand-both core growth engines for HPE’s server and Aruba offerings.
