DoJ clears HPE to buy Juniper if it sells some Wi-Fi kit
Briefly

The US Department of Justice has approved HPE’s $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks, provided that HPE divests its Instant On business and licenses Juniper's AI Ops technology. This strategic move aims to enhance competition in the global networking market, with CEO Antonio Neri optimistic about growth in AI data centers and cloud segments. With combined revenues potentially reaching $10 billion, HPE seeks to strengthen its position in the datacenter arena. The move is seen as a response to rivals like Cisco and Nvidia increasing their presence in networking and AI management.
