UK regulatory authority initiates probe into HPE’s $14bn purchase of Juniper Networks – DatacenterDynamics

The UK regulator has launched an investigation into Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks. The deal, which was announced earlier this year, has raised concerns about potential anti-competitive practices in the data center industry. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has stated that they will be looking into whether the acquisition could harm competition in the market and lead to higher prices for customers. This move comes as data center dynamics continue to evolve, with companies seeking to expand their capabilities and reach in a rapidly changing landscape. It remains to be seen how this investigation will impact the deal and the broader industry as a whole.
