HPE named storage leader by Gartner amid new DDR5 patent dispute with Netlist

Netlist has filed patent infringement actions against HPE and others with the U.S. International Trade Commission and a California federal court, targeting DDR5 memory modules. The legal action emerged in August 2026. HPE has simultaneously been recognised as a Leader in Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Storage, highlighting its unified data platform and AI-focused infrastructure. The company recently presented its enterprise technology roadmap at the OCP APAC Summit in Taipei. HPE's investment narrative hinges on its pivot toward AI infrastructure, hybrid cloud, and higher-margin services offsetting pressure in traditional hardware. The company's narrative projects $55.8 billion revenue and $4.8 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 12.9% yearly revenue growth. Bearish analysts forecast lower figures, with revenue reaching approximately $53.5 billion and earnings about $5.1 billion by 2029.

SMCI projects $65B–$72B revenue, lifting Dell and HPE shares in pre-market trading

Super Micro Computer projected fiscal 2027 revenue of $65–$72 billion, significantly exceeding the analyst consensus of $52.50 billion. The guidance sent SMCI shares up roughly 9% in pre-market trading Wednesday. Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise rose in sympathy, gaining 2.6% and 2.2% respectively, as investors view SMCI's results as a demand indicator for AI server hardware. SMCI's fourth-quarter gross margin reached 17.5%, surpassing its preliminary estimate of 15%–17%. Fourth-quarter revenue nearly doubled year-over-year to $11.12 billion, though it fell short of the $11.55 billion consensus. The company counted nine customers generating over $1 billion in annual revenue in fiscal 2026, up from four the previous year. Dell held an AI systems backlog of $51.3 billion, whilst HPE reported $16.4 billion. Big Tech capital spending is expected to surpass $730 billion in 2026.

Rigetti to deliver 9-qubit system for $5M NSF-funded hybrid quantum-classical supercomputer testbed

Rigetti Computing will supply a 9-qubit Novera quantum computing system to Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's new TangleLab testbed, funded by a $5 million National Science Foundation grant. The project expands Rigetti's collaboration with HPE to develop quantum-enabled high-performance computing systems. The testbed will integrate the quantum system with classical HPC infrastructure. PSC will allocate access through a competitive proposal process, supporting both dedicated research and educational purposes. Rigetti CEO Dr Subodh Kulkarni emphasised the system's fast gate speeds, characteristic of superconducting quantum systems. HPE's role involves unifying quantum processors with HPC, AI, and advanced networking technologies. PSC will provide onboarding, training, and research consulting to help users operate the hybrid quantum-classical system.
