CEO Meg Whitman reiterated HPE's vision of being the industry's leading provider of hybrid IT, built on a secure, next-generation, software-defined infrastructure that will "run customers' data centres today, bridge them to multi-cloud environments tomorrow, and power the emerging Intelligent Edge that will run campus, branch and Industrial IoT applications for decades to come."
