You complete me: What is HPE Complete?

[CalvinZito]

A couple of months ago, I did a Chalk Talk that gave a description of the HPE Complete program. The HPE Complete program resells best-in-class third party branded products that complement and complete HPE native solutions. When something is worth my time to do a Chalk Talk, I try to also do a blog post on the topic. I just updated the Chalk Talk with a few new partners in the Complete program so now's a great time to highlight the program. 

The Chalk Talk is three minutes so instead of writing about what is in the Chalk Talk, take a few minutes to watch it now. 

Who are the HPE Complete partners

In the Chalk Talk, there's a scene that shows who the current HPE Complete partners are but I wanted to list how they are and what they do.  Here are who they are with a general categorization of their focus.
