Jan 9 (Reuters) - Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE.N) will buy networking gear maker Juniper Networks (JNPR.N) for $14 billion in an all-cash deal, in an attempt to spruce up the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) offerings.
WTF?
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).
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.
How does Juniper spruce up AI offerings?
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.
That should trigger some sort of monopoly protection. There already is a limited choice of vendors.
