Change Juniper Devices under HPE Manufacturer #1912

Closed moetezz closed 8 months ago

moetezz commented 9 months ago

In the future Juniper devices' Manufacturer need to be labeled as HPE and No longer Juniper after the acquisition of HPE: https://www.hpe.com/us/en/newsroom/press-release/2024/01/hpe-to-acquire-juniper-networks-to-accelerate-ai-driven-innovation.html

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see anything suggesting HP will dissolve Juniper as a brand or even a company. I don't think this change is necessary unless they completely remove all Juniper branding when the acquisition goes through, especially if Juniper remains its own unique entity separate from HPE.

As a counter-point that already exists in this repo:

APC devices are all under the manufacturer "APC" instead of Schneider Electric. APC isn't technically the manufacturer, it's a brand under Schneider Electric, but it makes a lot more sense to list it under APC.

I agree, until something changes I think we will keep it as-is

We can leave it as is for now, but Juniper should me migrated under HPE at some point. We decided to do this for all sub-brands just like Meraki (Cisco), Tripp-Lite (Eaton), Aruba (HPE), etc.
