HPE Research
HPE Research is the corporate research division of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, conducting advanced investigations in computing, storage, networking, and data science. It operates research labs and collaborates with universities, standards bodies, and industry consortia to translate foundational science into commercial technology. The organization engages with governments, multinational corporations, and academic institutions to influence standards and advance innovation in enterprise information infrastructure.
HPE Research traces origins to early technical groups associated with Hewlett-Packard and later reorganizations during the spin-off that formed Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2015. Its antecedents include research units that partnered with entities such as Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, and collaborations with national laboratories like Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Over decades it engaged with projects linked to milestones involving Intel Corporation, Advanced Micro Devices, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Oracle Corporation while responding to shifts marked by events such as the Dot-com bubble and technological transitions exemplified by the rise of Amazon Web Services. Leadership changes reflected influences from executives associated with Agilent Technologies, Compaq, and Cisco Systems.
HPE Research focuses on high-performance computing, storage systems, networking, edge computing, artificial intelligence, and security. Work spans architecture studies informed by developments at Intel Corporation, Arm Holdings, IBM, and NVIDIA, storage innovations resonant with vendors like EMC Corporation and NetApp, and networking approaches related to efforts by Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks. Research themes align with initiatives in big data driven by collaborations with Google, Facebook, Twitter, and analytics users such as Bloomberg L.P. and Bloomberg-adjacent firms. Security and privacy research intersects topics championed by institutions like National Institute of Standards and Technology and partnerships that echo standards efforts from IETF, IEEE, and Linux Foundation projects.
HPE Research operates labs and data centers located in regions including the San Francisco Bay Area, Cambridge, United Kingdom, Bangalore, India, and facilities near Austin, Texas. Infrastructure includes testbeds for exascale-class systems informed by architectures from Cray Inc. and proposals from CERN projects, storage arrays reflecting lineage with 3Com-era designs, and networking test environments compatible with standards from ITU and ETSI. Experimental setups support collaborations with supercomputing centers such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and international consortia tied to PRACE and XSEDE.
HPE Research maintains partnerships with universities including University of California, Berkeley, University of Texas at Austin, University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, and Tsinghua University. Industry collaborations involve Microsoft Research, Google Research, IBM Research, NVIDIA Research, and standards participation with IETF, IEEE, and The Open Group. Multilateral projects have included alliances with DARPA, European Commission, and initiatives like OpenStack Foundation and Kubernetes-related communities. Strategic ties extend to customers and integrators such as Accenture, DXC Technology, SAP SE, and cloud providers including Alibaba Cloud.
HPE Research contributed architectures for large-scale computing deployed in clusters used by NASA missions, modeling work relevant to the Large Hadron Collider, and storage research applied in enterprise archives used by financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. It has produced publications and open-source contributions intersecting with projects such as OpenStack, Kubernetes, and file systems influenced by research from BSD-derived efforts. Notable contributions include advances in composable infrastructure aligned with concepts championed by The Open Group, network virtualization techniques echoing principles from Open vSwitch and Software-defined networking, and energy-efficiency methods related to programs at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Researchers associated with HPE Research have received recognition through awards and honors from organizations such as ACM, IEEE, USENIX, and national science bodies including NSF grants and DARPA program awards. Individual scientists have been named fellows of ACM, IEEE, and have received distinctions analogous to prizes awarded by INFORMS and medals presented by institutions like Royal Society-affiliated programs. Corporate achievements have been acknowledged in industry rankings from Gartner and awards from trade entities including TechTarget-affiliated competitions.
The research organization reports within the innovation and technology hierarchy of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and is led by senior technologists and executives with backgrounds at HP Labs, Agilent Technologies, and prominent academic appointments at institutions like MIT, Stanford University, and University of California, Berkeley. Leadership roles have included research directors who previously collaborated with teams at Intel Corporation, IBM Research, and Google Research, and governance incorporates advisory boards with representation from partners such as University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, and national research councils like Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
