How did HPE and Disney form a relationship which has continued for over 80 years? This week, Technology Now begins a mini-series to celebrate the tenth birthday of HPE. In Episode one, we explore where it all began – with the sale of an oscillator to Disney in the ‘30s - and how that partnership has continued to this day through digitisation, the pandemic, and the current AI explosion.
This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.
