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

[–] JJROKCZ 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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

It's not HP

[–] c0mbatbag3l 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] FrostyTrichs 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Good to know. Fuck both companies.

It HPE much better than HP?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Different HP, but probably about as bad

How does Juniper spruce up AI offerings?

[–] solidgrue 7 points 1 year 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.

NOOOO STOP GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT ANDALE ALEJO

STOP THIS LATE STAGE CAPITALISM CRAP

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can see that...
