HP to become HP Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise

HP is a mammoth, $120B+ company covering two primary product areas:

  • Enterprise servers, Storage Area Networks, Cloud, software, and services
  • PCs and printers

By the end of 2015, it will become two separate companies that will follow these respective product areas:  Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and HP Inc.  Both companies will exceed $55B in revenue; both will be fully autonomous from one another, but will always share a common history.  Current CEO, Meg Whitman, will head Hewlett-Packard Enterprise; Dion Weisler, executive VP of HP’s printing and personal systems group, will run HP Inc.
