The integration progress and merger synergies are on track, positioning Juniper as a positive contributor to HPE's networking growth story.

Cisco's new campus networking products, crucial for the refresh cycle, have less memory content than general compute, making them less susceptible to price hikes and potentially more attractive to customers amid the current shortage. — This could make Cisco's campus switching portfolio more competitively priced relative to full-system compute rivals, accelerating share gains in the refresh market.

Memory price increases are creating a cost headwind, but Fortinet is proactively raising prices on specific appliances by 5-20% and has roughly six months of inventory to buffer supply chain shocks. — Fortinet's ability to raise prices and buffer inventory in a memory shortage could allow it to gain market share at the expense of competitors with thinner supply chains and less pricing power.

Acquired Juniper and is integrating it; revenue from Juniper is now core, with strong pro-forma growth and synergies materializing faster than expected.
