Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), we live by three core values that drive our business: Partner. Innovate. Act. These values combine to help us create important work all over the world to advance how people live and work.

Data is the new gold dust of most industries today. Being able to continuously capture and analyze data is becoming not only a competitive advantage but also essential to survive as an Enterprise in most industries. Retailers are collecting data about the clients to address and steer demand. Manufacturers install sensors in every machine to predict maintenance needs before resulting in a failure. Health care companies use results from millions of high-resolution tissue scan to identify cancer much quicker and earlier than any doctor can. Today’s car models are already creating GB of data every hour, which the automotive industry uses to improve safety and comfort for drivers. Autonomous cars will be creating another magnitude of data every minute.

As a result, enterprises are heavily investing into scalable Big Data Infrastructure , which allows them to store Petabytes of data in a cost effective and accessible way.
