HP Split May Trigger Wave of New Deals | Re/code

That unit is split roughly between the Enterprise hardware group, which posted sales of $28 billion last year, and the troubled Enterprise Services Group, which brought in $23 billion, plus the $3.9 billion from its software operation. So let’s do a little back-of-the-envelope math to conjure a valuation."
