HPE to Defend Juniper Merger “Vigorously” Against Justice Department Suit

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.’s CEO Antonio Neri has pledged to defend the company’s planned acquisition of Juniper Networks Inc. in court, vowing a “vigorous” response to the US Justice Department’s efforts to block the deal.

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit to stop the tie-up, citing national security concerns over Juniper’s networking equipment used by government agencies and military organizations.

HPE is not considering divesting any parts of the business as part of a settlement, according to Neri.
