Now here I thought HP went out of business for being a trash company because that's what a sane universe would have dictated.

- bayindirh 2y agoHP servers are complete opposite of their laptops. I today retired a 17 year old DL140 which was working fine.
- doubled112 2y agoIs their driver and firmware update section still paywalled?
- mustntmumble 2y agoYes, and also they are not HP servers, they are HPE. HP split off the server division into HPE Hewlett Packard Enterprise some years ago. I have a very high regard for HPE products, not so much for HP products...
- bayindirh 2y agoIt was an "HP server" when it arrived 17 years ago :) Split happened in 2015.
- bayindirh 2y agoIt was not paywalled before. It's new for HPE. I don't know why they started doing it. Probably due to GreenLake (server renting) initiative.
- rcostin2k2 2y agoYes, unless you are under warranty or there is a critical patch release. This habit emerged since the 'strategic' merge with Micro Focus. I think they are, in fact, in charge with all software side of HPE.
- FpUser 2y agoI have 10 years old Z840 workstation which I use as a server with quit fans. Built like a tank and works like a charm
- Dalewyn 2y agoTo be clear, HPE (HP Enterprise) which sells servers and HP Inc. which sells PCs and printers are polar opposites despite their common origin and nearly identical names.
- bayindirh 2y agoYes, but that server is not an HPE. HPE split in 2015. We acquired said server in 2006-2007.
- fifteen1506 2y agoServer line is not the same company AFAIK.
- bayindirh 2y agoThey split in 2015. The server I have written about is acquired in 2006.
