HPE has acquired Cray and SGI.

HPE was aiming at bigger server installations with their Apollo and 
Moonshot series servers, and their "Synergy" "Compos[t]able" 
"Hyperconverged" "Bladed" "Infrastructure" "BuzzPhraseReady" systems.

That Apollo and Moonshot server sales focus seems to have largely 
faded, and now it's seemingly all about the Cray and SGI high-end boxes.

HPE Synergy is the replacement for the HPE Integrity c-Class blades. 
I'd infer that Synergy may well eventually become a target for VSI 
OpenVMS.
