HP ditches CA for TX

Saturday, April 11, 2026

Today is a day for celebration. Over the last two years, we've been building an incredible campus in Spring, Texas, just outside Houston. As the new headquarters for Hewlett Packard Enterprise, our campus leverages everything we have heard from team members and learned from the pandemic to create a truly next-generation collaboration and culture center that meets the evolving expectations of our teams. Now as we open our doors to the public, I'm excited to share new details about our vision, and give you a peek inside.

"truly next-generation collaboration and culture center"

Sounds like the kind of thing you'd find in California.

The current HPE is not the HP of old.

For example, since 2015 it is Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. A company sucking from the teat of corporate expenditure.

Then, a year or so later, HPE sold off its PC business.

And HPE stopped appearing on the ~most innovative companies~ lists.

All that remained was a company apparently focusing on call centers and corporate network support.

What ever happened to the innovation aspect of HP?

Perhaps Ms Carly Fiorina as CEO started that downfall?

"HPE is mainly owned by institutional investors, who hold around 88% of all shares. The 5 largest shareholders in mid-2025 were:

Vanguard Group Inc (169,804,055 shares held)
Blackrock Inc. (137,553,957 shares held)
Capital World Investors (73,552,085 shares held)
Bank of America (51,846,776 shares held)
JPMorgan Chase (47,124,039 shares held)"

If I worked for HPE, I wouldn't be making any long-term plans.

Wikipedia:

In 2023, during the ongoing Gaza genocide, HP and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) were criticised because products from Hewlett-Packard Israel were provided to the Israel Police, the Israel Prison Service and the Israel Population and Immigration Authority. The BDS movement called on consumers and organisations to boycott all HPE IT services and products, as well as the printers, computers and printer cartridges of HP Inc. In 2025, Hewlett Packard Enterprise was identified in a report by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights that listed companies facilitating the occupation of Palestine -- it states:

"Before IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) maintained the database and its Israeli subsidiary is still providing servers. Hewlett Packard (HP) has long enabled the apartheid systems of Israel, supplying technology to the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the prison service and police. Since the 2015 split of the company into Hewlett Packard Enterprises and HP Inc., opaque business structures have obscured the roles of their seven remaining Israeli subsidiaries."
