HPE has responded to the U.S. Department of Justice's opposition to its acquisition of Juniper Networks by claiming that blocking the merger would inadvertently advantage Huawei, which the government sees as a national security risk. HPE contests the DoJ's assertion that the merger would harm competition, stating that the deal is not primarily about Juniper's Wi-Fi business. Instead, it aims to combine Juniper’s data center routing with HPE’s storage solutions, enhancing innovation and competition in the network sector, particularly against Cisco and Huawei.
The primary goal of the transaction is to bring together Juniper's data center routing with HPE's storage and compute, enhancing competition across networking.
HPE asserts blocking the deal would favor Huawei, a national security risk identified by the U.S., and contradicts aims to reduce Chinese tech in critical infrastructure.
