Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. is losing business from Microsoft Corp., one of the world’s largest users of servers, the latest sign of trouble for the pioneering computer maker as it struggles with the rise of cloud services, people familiar with the matter said.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Chief Executive Officer Meg Whitman said last week her company saw "significantly lower demand" for servers from a tier-1 service provider, but without identifying the customer. Tier-1 service providers are typically major cloud and telecom companies.
