Happy Juniper customer since 2010. Across SRX, EX, QFX lines. What to do now, what to do...
Good lord. I don’t know whether I respect or pity you.
There used to be a saying at Juniper: If there was an issue with MX, it was likely a config issue. If there was an issue with SRX it was likely a bug.
Was incredibly accurate more often than not.
I miss Netscreen.

I print well below 100 pages a year. What would be the price per page using an enterprise grade printer?
Not sure exactly where the line lies between "consumer" and "enterprise". But, anecdotally, my employer (which is a pretty big enterprise) has small HP laser printers which cost a few hundred dollars ( They've always worked perfectly on both Linux and Windows and need no maintenance, just remember to turn them on. Most of them are still on their original toner (we don't print that much). Newer models seem to come wit…
Read: "Bill & Dave" by Michael Malone. Agilent took the heart & soul of HP. Then it split further (Keysight et al) HP took the printers, which at least used to be a good business. HPE is the wretched refuse that's left.
Cray tends to disagree...
Great let’s just have 2 vendors in every industry in the world with a combined 90% market share.
Why only 90%? For smart phone operating systems it's higher I'd assume (not counting China, that's not a free country anyway). Same for desktop computers. A major failure of free market economics that is widely ignored by politics.
Does it really matter which OEM you buy your Intel or AMD system from? Desktop computers are a market where the 2 top vendors actually have had all the market until Apple entered the scene with its ARM offerings. I'm excited if others will follow with high-end options (Qualcomm and Nvidia).

I was under the impression Juniper market share had been falling consistently. But it sounds like there is a market where they are still doing well, what is it? Enterprise something?
I work in a primarily Juniper environment, and I'm not that familiar with HPE (Did they previously have anything in the networking space?). It's sounding pretty doom-and-gloom in here, what should my level of concern be? I would be pretty bummed to change vendor. Junos is probably my favorite networking OS. The CLI is comfortable, BSD is never too far away, and the config structure is gorgeous . IOS (and similar) can…
HP had their own ProCurve networking and they also bought Aruba. We don't know what HPE is going to do to Juniper specifically, but in general many acquisitions either raise prices or simplify the product line by canceling some products. In this case HPE may cancel some Aruba products and replace them with Mist equivalents.

I would very much like someone in charge at either HPE or Juniper to explain to me in plain English what that means exactly, in practical terms. I doubt it means anything.
