Maybe I am biased, but I see actual (strong) value in big data
analytical appliance companies.
HP hasn't had a great run on acquisitions, and if you look at the
financials, this won't likely make a noticeable impact on revenues or
profits.
But from a strategic point of view, it make sense to prevent
Cisco/Lenovo/others from grabbing SGI for themselves.
Sometimes the reasons for an acquisition have less to do with the
details of the company, and more to do with the potential
strategy/competitive landscape.
I second Joe on this, and remember that SGI and HPE made an OEM
agreement back in february:
