On November 1, 2015, Hewlett-Packard split into two companies. HP, Inc. will focus on personal computing and printing, while Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE), will service the enterprise with solutions for storage, networking and IT business services.

Antonio Neri, executive VP and GM at HPE, joined John Furrier and Dave Vellante, hosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to talk about the new company’s future.

A new focus

With the official launch of the new company being one month old, Neri was excited that HPE Discover 2015 London was offering the company leadership an opportunity to connect with customers while discussing the new brand and strategy.

“The separation gave us purpose and focus, and the customers are very impressed with our innovation and our roadmap and how we think about the future,” he said. He went on to say that HPE is the growth engine of the company and the results prove it. He pointed to a nine percent growth last quarter, and he sees growth in every aspect of the business.

Next steps

Driven by the needs of the enterprise, Neri described the next step as delivering on the company’s four transformation areas. “It’s how we help them define the right mix, power the right mix, and how we help them optimize the right mix and use the power of the one Hewlett Packard Enterprise against those objectives,” he said.

The objective for HPE is to solve the issues that the enterprise is facing today, such as bridging the old to the new, deploying an infrastructure that is cloud ready, making the life of developers much easier and ultimately making a radical step forward in the way infrastructure should be provisioned deployed and managed.

The composable enterprise

“We think at the end of the day the enterprise has to become composable,” asserted Neri. A composable infrastructure uses shared resources to provision compute, storage and networking to meet the specific needs of a company. Neri believes that over time, with the innovation HPE will bring to the market, companies will adopt this type of architecture for their infrastructure because this synergy provides more resources without being constrained by units.
