Frequently asked
How does HPE help SLED organizations with cyber resilience?
HPE pairs secure networking with continuous data protection and disaster recovery, often via Zerto, so agencies can recover quickly from ransomware and outages. The Mississippi Department of Revenue, for example, uses Zerto to safeguard public services and meet disaster-recovery goals.
Can HPE help us fund projects on a tight budget?
Yes. HPE Networking runs a grant and funding program with a dedicated team that helps state, local, and education customers navigate the full grant lifecycle, from identifying opportunities to applications, and GreenLake pay-per-use lets you align spend to actual usage rather than large upfront purchases.
What does HPE offer for campus and K-12 networks?
HPE Aruba Networking provides dense campus and classroom Wi-Fi, identity-centric access through ClearPass, and User Experience Insight to monitor connectivity. These help bridge the digital divide, secure BYOD and IoT, and keep students, faculty, and staff reliably connected.
