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.
- Juniper did a pretty good job of that themselves over the last few years.
- 2 years is my guess.
  
  Broadcom: Pfft amateurs
- I don't know how Juniper compares to Aruba but it's been pretty good for me so far.
- It's not HP
HP flashing that ink subscription money around.
- HPE does not get any ink money, that went with HP Inc. HPE only operates in enterprise spaces (servers and network hardware).
  
  Good to know. Fuck both companies.
HP gonna add ink to routers.
- It's not HP
  
  It HPE much better than HP?
- Different HP, but probably about as bad
How does Juniper spruce up AI offerings?
- 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.
WTF?
NOOOO STOP GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT ANDALE ALEJO

STOP THIS LATE STAGE CAPITALISM CRAP
That should trigger some sort of monopoly protection. There already is a limited choice of vendors.
I can see that...
