In talking to senior US Aruba sales management this week, they are getting ready to start cutting Juniper Sales reps as of Day 1.
They are going so far as looking at LinkedIn profiles to look for those Juniper reps who switched on and then drawing up mock sales teams.
There is definitely some tension between the HPE sales and the Juniper transition team.
Juniper SEs and SE management are perceived as essential - sales not so much.
The talk about “keeping the team together” through the transition is a load of garbage. HPE has made it clear they are buying the IP, not the people.
