There are now more than 1,700 HPE partners with one or more Partner Ready Vantage membership, its global channel boss has revealed as he gave his spin on the vendor’s market-busting Q3 results.
Strong server and networking demand fuelled a 19% year-on-year revenue surge in the three months ending 31 July 2025, the enterprise IT giant announced last week.
In a blog post, Simon Ewington, HPE’s Senior VP of Worldwide Channel & Partner Ecosystem, claimed HPE’s indirect business “contributed meaningfully” to what he branded a “standout revenue quarter”.
In June, HPE confirmed that all its partner programmes will combine under HPE Partner Ready Vantage from 1 November 2025.
“As of Q3 there are more than 1,700 partners with one or more HPE Partner Ready Vantage membership,” Ewington revealed.
“This number is poised to grow further as we enhance program efficiencies and welcome new partners through the integration with Juniper Networks.”
Partner feedback on the Juniper acquisition “has been overwhelmingly positive”, Ewington claimed, even amid reports there have been fresh calls for the recently closed $14bn deal to be investigated.
Painting a picture for partners
HPE Private Cloud AI enjoyed double-digit year-over-year partner-led revenue growth in Q3, Ewington claimed.
HPE’s indirect Intelligent Edge business continued to recover during the quarter, Ewington added. It recorded double-digit year-over-year growth and slightly higher double-digit quarter-over-quarter growth, with indirect sales making a greater contribution to HPE’s overall segment revenue compared to the sequential quarter, according to the partner chief.
The partner Hybrid Cloud business remained flat year-over-year, Ewington acknowledged, however.
“HPE’s entry into the virtualisation market with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials software has sparked incredible partner interest and engagement,” Ewington added.
