COMPANY BIOGRAPHY
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) is an American multinational information technology enterprise company, founded 01-November-2015, as part of the now-split Hewlett-Packard company.
HP Enterprise is a business-focused organization with four divisions: Enterprise Group, which works in servers, storage, networking, consulting and support; Services; Software; and Financial Services.
The split was structured so that the old Hewlett-Packard changed its name to HP Inc., and spun off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a newly-created company. HP Inc., which retained the old HP's personal computer and printing business, retained the old HP's stock-price history and the original NYSE ticker symbol for Hewlett-Packard, while HP Enterprise trades under its own ticker symbol, "HPE."
