Resilient HPE compute — hardened, powered, and cooled to run where your operation can’t afford to stop.
Anyone can sell parts off a shelf. Gross Automation engineers complete industrial systems — HPE compute, the controls around it, and the power, cooling, and enclosure that keep it alive — and stands behind them. You choose Gross for Gross, not just the logo on the box.
Authorized HPE + multi-line
One accountable source for HPE and the lines around it.
UL508a-hardened
Built for IP/NEMA-rated, plant-floor reality.
Powered & cooled
Climate-controlled enclosures, power, and energy storage.
OT/IT-secure
Fluent in IEC 62443, CMMC, and NERC CIP.
US engineering since 1990
Nearly 40 years standing behind industry.
The compute is the easy part.
Surviving the environment, delivering the power, and meeting the compliance — that’s the hard part. It’s also what most distributors leave to someone else. We don’t. We engineer the whole system so it runs in the heat, dust, vibration, and uptime demands of a real industrial site — and we stand behind it.
A system we build again and again
HPE compute and optical/industrial networking, in a UL508a-built, climate-controlled, NEMA-rated enclosure, running a resilient DCS or SCADA platform — engineered as one accountable system. We deploy variations of this across food & beverage, chemical, mining, and water/wastewater operations.
- Compute: HPE ProLiant servers, resilient and redundant.
- Networking: optical & industrial switching that talks to your existing plant.
- Enclosure: UL508a-built, NEMA-rated, with self-contained climate control.
- Controls: resilient DCS/SCADA — from a handful of PLCs to plant-wide — interoperable with almost any existing or legacy infrastructure.
Industries we stand behind
Process Industries
Hardened DCS/SCADA control for food & beverage, chemical, and mining.
Water & Critical Infrastructure
A coordination and resilience layer across distributed, multi-owner facilities.
Data Centers & AI
Compute plus the power, cooling, and energy storage the plant actually needs.
Energy & Utilities
Substation- and grid-edge compute, NERC CIP, and BESS balance-of-plant.
Manufacturing
OT/IT/AV convergence on the plant floor, built to run reliably.
Defense & Government
Hardened, compliant systems — CAGE-registered and CMMC-attested.
Why Gross — not the manufacturer, not a box-mover
We’re independent. We work for you — not for a sales quota, a licensing renewal, or a race to the lowest margin. We bring HPE and the experts around it into one engineered system, tell you exactly which expertise comes from where, and stay the single point of accountability long after the purchase order closes. The manufacturer sells a box. We stand behind an industry.
A big-box distributor will quote you a lower price. But you’re not buying a toy for your eight-year-old — you’re buying an industrial system where uptime and experience are measured in lives and livelihoods. Shaving margin off the people who engineer it and stand behind it isn’t saving money. It’s playing fast and loose with your operation, and with everyone who depends on it.
We sell the entire HPE portfolio
From HPE ProLiant compute and HPE Aruba Networking to HPE Juniper, Cray supercomputing, and the storage lines many still know by their original names.
ProLiant · Aruba · Juniper · Cray · Alletra · Nimble · 3PAR · SimpliVity · Synergy · Apollo · Edgeline · StoreOnce · Silver Peak · Zerto · GreenLake
Running an older box? Many HPE lines still carry the name of the company HPE acquired — we know them, and what replaces them.
A mixture of experts, held to standards
Gross holds: ISO 9001:2015 · UL 508A panel shop · CMMC 2.0 Level 1 · CAGE 3CKC2 / SAM.gov active.
We supply products certified to NEMA, IP, UL/cUL, CE, and IEC standards — matched to the demands of your environment. Our most demanding work is confidential; the systems and standards speak for themselves.
