Juniper hype is a thing of the past

Customers are much better informed now, and the hype of Juniper (products) is a thing of the past. Juniper does not have a default way in, to any account, including service providers.

Arista is the new black. Even (communications) service providers are enamoured by Arista.

No one cares about Juniper, Cisco, HP, Huawei, Nokia etc. etc. and over priced, outdated portfolios.

Once the ownership of Aruba changes hands, Arista will be a much stronger candidate in enterprise networking. Arista has enough features to solve a majority of the growth needs of SPs, and they are focused on getting entrenched in communications SPs, just as they have done with Cloud SPs.

This is why there will be more layoffs at Juniper, Cisco and many other places. Juniper and Cisco have been beat. That’s the bottom line.

Perfectly put by @QFVrYjh-7ziw.

Our marketing team embarked on a series of articles related to Optical and BNG - how worlds largest BNG customers are using Juniper etc. This must have been because we lost out to Calix’s SDN based GPON - included BNG & virtualised routing. So in short, Juniper’s vMX and Contrail, and Packet Optical (MX 3K/5K, & BTI) all lost to Calix, at Verizon.

Is this a sign of things to come at other SPs?

We have yet again lost ... in Optical and SDN/NFV. If this trend continues, we can expect many teams to get whacked at Juniper.

Arista is not a joke. They know how to execute.

I stead of callin Arista a joke, people at Juniper should learn from them. Specially the CMO.

Arista might be a joke to you @QPWHmWm-eiwd, however they are also a mighty threat to Junipers existence as an independent entity. Have you seen Arista’s stock and compared it to JNPR? wall street loves Arista.

At this point Juniper might be better off selling it’s soul to Broadcom, so that it’s ASIC technologies and groups can be salvaged by Broadcom, and the rest sold out to the hungriest bidders in s chop shop fire sales.

Arista is a joke... But, that's not our problem...
