Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced on February 24, 2026 that it unveiled a suite of new networking and compute solutions ahead of Mobile World Congress 2026, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from March 2‑5.
The launch builds on the July 2025 acquisition of Juniper Networks for approximately $14 billion, combining Aruba and Juniper technologies with Mist’s agentic AIOps platform to deliver end‑to‑end AI infrastructure for service providers.
The new portfolio includes high‑capacity, low‑latency fabrics that span core to edge, and telecom‑optimized servers such as the ProLiant Compute EL140 Gen12, designed to support AI workloads and 5G edge deployments.
HPE’s Executive Vice President, President and General Manager of Networking, Rami Rahim, said the company is committed to helping service providers lead in the AI era by building intelligent networks that can support complex operations and advanced AI capabilities.
The announcement signals a strategic shift from a traditional server vendor to an AI‑driven infrastructure platform, positioning HPE to capture growing demand for AI‑enabled data centers and edge deployments.
Analysts have upgraded HPE to a Strong Buy, citing the company’s AI rack‑scale infrastructure growth and Juniper integration, with a price target of $29.29 per share.
The launch also aligns with HPE’s broader “AI factory” ecosystem, which partners with NVIDIA to create blueprints for interconnected AI factories that combine high‑speed networking with AI compute infrastructure.
