What Hewlett Packard Enterprise does
Hewlett Packard Enterprise sells computing, networking and cloud technology to businesses and governments, from small companies to large global enterprises. Its products include servers, networking equipment, and software and services for running data and artificial intelligence workloads across company data centers, the edge and the cloud.

HPE says one distributor accounted for about a tenth of its revenue in fiscal 2025, mainly in Server and Networking.
