Hidden Gems from HPE GreenLake Storage Day

Published: April 8, 2023, 4 p.m.

On Tuesday, April 4, HPE invited a number of industry analysts to participate in HPE GreenLake Storage Day. Notably, HPE declared 2023 the year of storage. While the company made several storage-related announcements, perhaps even more interesting was what the event tells us about HPE\u2019s culture, its strategy and the future direction of the company.

In this Breaking Analysis we\u2019ll share our takeaways from HPE\u2019s event, held in Houston, Texas, which included attendance at Antonio Neri\u2019s quarterly all-hands meeting. We\u2019ll try to emphasize areas that have not necessarily been the focus of most press and industry analyst write ups to date. We\u2019ll also take a look at the latest ETR survey data to put HPE\u2019s market position in context across several of its major segments.
