DoJ Blocks HPE Juniper Deal | The Gestalt IT Rundown: February 5, 2025

Author: Tech Field Day February 5, 2025 Duration: 34:36

We heard the rumors back in November that the HPE deal to acquired Juniper Networks was getting a closer look from the Department of Justice. Last week we got confirmation that the DoJ will be filing suit to half the deal. The arugument from the government is that the result of the deal would be 70% of the market for networking equipment being held by just two companies. Specifically cited was the wireless LAN component, where the DoJ said there were only three major players. This was refuted quickly by both HPE and Juniper. The UK Competition and Markets authority and the EU have both cleared the deal. This and more on The Rundown.

This weekly podcast from Tech Field Day provides the essential context behind the news, turning a simple rundown into a valuable tool for understanding where technology is truly headed.
