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

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] stevehobbes@lemy.lol 10 points 2 years ago

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

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

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's not HP

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

HP flashing that ink subscription money around.

[-] Lumilias@pawb.social 31 points 2 years ago

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

[-] FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Good to know. Fuck both companies.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 2 years ago

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

HP = Horrible Product

[-] badbytes@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

HP gonna add ink to routers.

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Different HP, but probably about as bad

[-] imposedsensation@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 2 years ago

How does Juniper spruce up AI offerings?

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] BongsForJesus@lemmy.wtf 11 points 2 years ago
[-] Toes@ani.social 8 points 2 years ago

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