🌟 In Case You Missed It: HPE Discover Las Vegas 2025

This summer’s HPE Discover event in Las Vegas was nothing short of electrifying. Thousands gathered across the Innovation Campus, hearing directly from HPE and industry leaders as they unveiled some of the biggest shifts in enterprise technology today.

Highlights included:

  • Antonio Neri’s Keynote at the Sphere, outlining a bold roadmap for hybrid cloud, data-first modernization, and AI integration.
