Horrible Products applies just as well today as it did in 2002.

Their enterprise server hardware is pretty nice, but they did spin that off into its own subsidiary.

HPE Greenlake is actually a pretty nice service (or it used to be). They drop the hardware in your data center, but you only pay for the resources you use, and every few years they upgrade the hardware for you. Basically like an on-prem AWS.

Yeah don't care fuck HP. I got cold called by a HP VAR and I was NOPE, HP is too anti customer to work with period

I’m sorry but “hardware drop” and HP in one sentence reminds me them sending underloaded pallets around. Man I was a big fan of Compaq until HP (now +E) came along.
