Exclusive: HPE Guarantees Deal Quotes Below $1M Amid Rising Memory Prices“We are giving partners more predictability in a volatile market,” says HPE Senior Vice President Simon Ewington. The change comes even in the midst of rising memory prices that have some HPE competitors changing prices—sometimes as much as doubling initial partner price quotes—upon shipment.
