I agree. I think problems would be more likely if they started a directly competing product with HPC in the name, but an unofficial acronym for the joint name of 2 merged companies? I don't see it. On a related note, would they be more complimentary or competitive to HPC Server? Both Cray and HPE seems like they're more focused on the hardware and possibly userspace applications than a proprietary OS. I'm pretty sure modern Cray's are Linux-based, and I don't know if HP-UX is suited to running a supercomputer, but even so it doesn't seem like it's core to HP's business - just one of the products in their portfolio that can fit where needed.
