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.

Aruba and Nimble are solid products today, yeah

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

Juniper did a pretty good job of that themselves over the last few years.

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

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.

He says across a juniper network. What a fool you are...lol

My work sells HP.
Just don't buy the crap consumee brand trash.
For PC Pro/EliteDesk only or get owned.
Same for printers. Buy crap, get crap.

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.
