Over the past few months, a lot of business confidential information seems to have been shared by the Juniper teams with HPE. This is an attempt to stay ahead of the curve and front load the integration efforts. The level of collaboration at this stage when both are operating as independent companies, is quite unreal.
Is this even legal?
Either the Juniper management is too anxious to cash in quickly or or very eager to please their would be HPE bosses or just too incompetent to understand the nuances of an acquisition of this size. May be all of the above.
Hopefully this gets thoroughly investigated by the powers to be.
