Can someone tell me the revenue generated of the following acquisitions?
- BTI systems
- Aurrion

Are they meaningful? Are those people still around? Please comment.

Someone has to tell me why Wandl was such a great acquisition? How hard is it to code Dijkstra's algo and slap a GUI on top of it? How much revenue has been generated by NorthStar? How much money spent on that BU?
How come we will make our money back on Htbase if I think the team does not even understand what they do?
Wandl was worth it. Mist too. We got bti for pennies so it wasn’t a horrible acquisition. Aurrion is a flop unfortunately. SiPho is like nuclear fusion it seems. Htbase pennies too. We’ll make our money back on that one.
Wandl was worth every Dollar. Not only was there lots of reoccurring legacy revenue, but also its the basis of Northstar, which will help us deploy meaningful Segment Routing networks.
Crunchbase has a list. You can find out how many failed from that list or got the ROI.
- Aurrion:
Aurrion was acquired in 2016. The target product at that time was 100G QSFP traceiver, till 2019 Juniper tried to develop this product but hit manufacturing issues and abandoned that 100G project and that team has been focusing solely on 400G now. The original team (like any business org) have some of the originals still working, some left, and some new joined. It is under CTO org and still working. So far no revenue generated.
You left out Cyphort, Wandl.. wonder how those acquisitions benefited Juniper.
