Did you know HPE essential technology is behind the scenes of the world’s most ambitious —and everyday—innovations? If you sent a text, streamed a game, or used a credit card today, odds are, our tech made it possible.
From advancing supercomputing to connecting billions of devices, HPE has been shaping the way the world works, plays, and innovates since our founding in 2015, when Hewlett-Packard separated into two companies – HPE and HP Inc.
As we mark our 10-year anniversary, here are 10 things you may not know about HPE today (hint: we don’t make printers or PCs).
1. We’re the world leader in supercomputing with 6 of the top 10 fastest supercomputers. We partner with leading research institutions and push computational limits to tackle humanity’s biggest challenges—from cancer research to nuclear fusion.
2. HPE is now the hottest name in networking. Over a billion devices run on our tech—yes, billion with a “B.” And with our recent acquisition of Juniper Networks, we’re redefining networking for the AI era.
3. We invented Spaceborne computing to give astronauts real-time problem-solving power on the International Space Station and beyond. Our tough tech performs at teraflop speeds—that’s more than one million calculations a second—while orbiting 254 miles above Earth at 17,500 mph.
4. Every time you swipe, tap, or enter a credit card, odds are, you’re using our technology. HPE Nonstop powers most of the world’s credit card transactions—our always-on tech is critical for banking, telecom, and industries where downtime isn’t an option.
5. HPE powers unforgettable sports experiences for fans worldwide. From Tottenham Hotspur to Ryder Cup to the Golden State Warriors, our technology powers stadium Wi-Fi, analytics, and video feeds—bringing smarter, faster, more connected experiences to every moment.
6. Every 60 seconds, HPE ships 58 terabytes of storage and 2 servers—keeping the world’s data flowing and business running. More than just “units,” these numbers show the massive scale of our operation and the users, apps, and experiences we power every minute of every day.
7. HPE Greenlake is the cloud for cutting edge innovation. With a unified platform experience across public and private clouds, we help organizations like the Dallas Cowboys simplify their IT, reduce costs, and transform faster. Check out this 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ to learn why GreenLake took the top spot.
8. HPE’s “liquid cooling” is good for AI and energy efficiency—supercharging supercomputing while reducing power and noise. We’re the coolest way to power the hottest workloads. As energy limits tighten, HPE is innovating to keep AI running efficiently.
9. We give old tech new life. At our Technology Renewal Centers in Massachusetts and Scotland, the world’s largest IT manufacturer-owned refurbishing operation, we process 4 million tech assets annually. Last year, we refurbished and returned 86% of servers to use. These capabilities fight e-waste and free-up resources for innovation.

Across 60+ countries, our passionate engineers, architects, and innovators are building technology to solve real-world problems and unlock ambition.
