HPE is buying Cray for $1.3 billion

HPE announced it was buying Cray for $1.3 billion, giving it access to the company’s high performance computing portfolio, and perhaps a foothold into quantum computing in the future.

Portions of the information you need are pre-filled from your existing AppleID account, making for less manual entry.
