HPE CEO Meg Whitman said in a keynote speech at HPE Discover that Dropbox has also signed up to use HPE Proliant and Cloudline servers, financed by HPE Financial Services.

We help each other deliver value to our customers, and make it easy and secure to be what’s next." We will also offer additional data security and discoverability features through our product integrations with HPE. We are pleased to have HPE as a reseller partner to better serve large companies through our channel partnership. Hansen said: “Together, we make the leap to cloud easy and secure for CIOs around the globe. HPE, which has signed up to use Dropbox's cloud services, will act as a reseller for the collaboration firm, pitching Dropbox alongside its own products to customers. This week, Hansen claimed HPE and Dropbox's new business relationship is a "winning combination" for the enterprise. However, he added he was “really proud of the results", also noting that "it has made a huge difference and given us a major competitive advantage". He said the swap over from AWS to its own infrastructure was like “trying to swap out the engines on a jet mid-flight without any of our customers-passengers knowing”. The HPE hybrid cloud meant that migration involving hundreds of petabytes of data could be transferred “with nobody noticing”, Dropbox founder and CEO Drew Houston said recently on stage with HPE CEO Meg Whitman.


We can leverage our scale and particular use case to customize both the hardware and software, resulting in better unit economics." Second, as one of the world’s leading providers of cloud services, our use case for block storage is unique. Amazon Web Services has, and continues to be, an invaluable partner-we couldn’t have grown as fast as we did without a service like AWS," he said at the time.īut explaining Dropbox stores both file content and metadata, he added: "Bringing storage in-house allows us to customize the entire stack end-to-end and improve performance for our particular use case. "We were an early adopter of Amazon S3, which provided us with the ability to scale our operations rapidly and reliably.
