HPE-Juniper deal closes, integration questions remain
Briefly

HPE's acquisition of Juniper Networks for $14 billion is officially completed, significantly expanding HPE's networking business. This merger promises a broader array of networking solutions. Following an antitrust settlement, which requires HPE to divest its Instant On Wi-Fi business, Rami Rahim, now leading the combined business, has commenced work on an integration strategy. While brands HPE Aruba and HPE Juniper will be maintained, specific integration details, including the fate of Juniper employees and channel programs, remain unclear. Rahim views this as just the beginning of a new chapter.
HPE completed its $14 billion takeover of Juniper Networks, set to double HPE's networking business size and expand its portfolio of networking solutions.
Rami Rahim stated, "I'm rolling up my sleeves now and starting on a thoughtful integration strategy," indicating a focus on merging the two companies strategically.
Rahim emphasized, "We want everyone to recognize that all our customers...are going to have a path to an exciting true north," referring to secure AI-native and cloud-native networking.
Despite the acquisition, integration specifics remain vague, as Rahim noted, "This is day one and I'm just getting started."
