    I’m wondering how many months/years it will take HP to destroy the Juniper brand…

      It’s not like juniper was faultless before this acquisition… but HPE will ruin in as soon as they get an understanding of what they’ve bought and the best way to cut opex costs while adding/increasing revenue in order to kill any good will with customers

        Aruba faired ok, no? as did Nimble. Granted i’ve not had any HPE contact for a few years now.

          We are an HP/E shop.
          Servers are not too outlandish in prices but I can’t compare it to anything outside of HP/E.

          I like that their service is pretty smooth.
          Pretty okayish to get to the firmware stuff for both Aruba and HPE products.

            Are they though? I don’t hear anyone talk about Aruba anymore. I’ve never even heard of Nimble.

          Broadcom is so good at it, they wrecked VMware years before even completing the acquisition.

      I don’t know how Juniper compares to Aruba but it’s been pretty good for me so far.

      HPE does not get any ink money, that went with HP Inc. HPE only operates in enterprise spaces (servers and network hardware).

      Their Mist platform is one of the better management panes of glass out there. The analytics engine for wireless diagnostics is quite comprehensive. Better than the Aruba offering, at least.

    That should trigger some sort of monopoly protection. There already is a limited choice of vendors.
