Here is the Registers take on this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/11/hpe_buys_sgi/
As an aside: SGI languished, and its own Intel workstations built in response were shunned by the industry. I remember getting one or two of these when I worked in the Special Effects industry in Soho. THey made the best technical choices, but it ended up with a weird non-standard PC style machine, where as I remember the PCI slots were low voltage, so you had to buy SGI modem cards (etc) as off the shelf ones would not work.
