Lopez Research Analyst Perspective: AI and Growth Drive HPE’s Strategic Acquisition of Juniper, But It’s Too Early to Declare Victory
Linkedln
January 11, 2024
The new year is off with a bang, with the first of what I predict will be many acquisitions in 2024, with HPE acquiring Juniper Networks for $14 billion. Industry analysts sometimes feel rushed to share commentary on an acquisition because of its news. However, one of the benefits of being an analyst is that you can contemplate a story for more time if necessary. In this case, it was required. Indeed, I’ve gone back and forth on whether the HPE-Juniper deal will achieve its promises.

Managing Multicloud: A Conversation With VMware
LinkedIn
January 23, 2023
Companies of all sizes embraced cloud computing, with organizations deploying workloads and applications across a mixture of private infrastructure and public clouds.

Instead of relying on a single vendor for all its cloud computing needs, a business may use multiple clouds to access best-of-breed cloud services, diversify infrastructure risk and minimize vendor lock-in.
