Also HP had big test equipment business, then the HP went with computers and the measurement stuff was spun into Agilent.

Then the electronic measurement stuff was spun into Keysight and the Agilent was left with every other instrument stuff. So the soul of HP changed name twice

The HP also spun into HPE for servers/switches/storage and other datacenter stuff.

All to shed business units that are "just steadily making money" from ones that see bigger growth.
