    Dell to offer Juniper's products under its PowerConnect brand

    Dell to offer Juniper's products under its PowerConnect brand - Computer Business Review : News

    Dell, Juniper team on data centre technology - Cisco, data centres, dell, juniper - Computerworld


    That should nicely de-value a premium brand and put it in the same pot as the re-badged Netgear stuff presently within PowerConnect - seems a strange move to me.

    Actually, some PowerConnect gear is quite good and not rebadged NetGear
    The almost-but-not-quite Cisco style command line is a royal pain in the arse though and completely inconsistent across their products.

    Pitty they're not bringing the Juniper J-Series over

    Bloody looks like rebadged Netgear when you've got them side by side in (a customers, not mine, thanks) rack.. And the fact you can stack with with Netgears' kind of gives the game away a bit me thinks..

    Yeah, but which ones? The PowerConnect 6024 that we used to use are OEMed from SMC I believe

    I just don't really understand who would want this. Fair enough if you're buying a couple of servers and you want to get a UPS or rack switch from the same supplier on the same invoice, it's a good idea.

    But will people really think "oh, let's buy £250k of Juniper MX kit rebadged through Dell because it'll be convenient for it to all arrive on the same invoice".

    Dunno if I'm just missing something!

    Yeah, the EX stuff I can understand, but I would have expected to see the J-series on there rather than the MX.
    Maybe the MX stuff is heading to their data centre services division.

    if they're buying a complete solution, with install service and support, etc then I would imagine it would make sense.

    But it'll have a Dell sticker on it, which means it must be good / cheap / special / etc ...

    Some of it is/was rebadged DLINK. On at least 2 occassions I know of, people have ordered the dell "netgear" kit, and been delivered bog-standard netgear switches, with no rebranding at all apart from the outer delivery box.

    This seems like a good move by Juniper to me - perhaps they'll finally get some real-world penetration rather than being one of the "also rans".

    They're well on track already IMO. Can't wait for the pricing on the new MX80!

    Not only the "complete solution" thinking, some corporate IT departments might be restricted in whom they are allowed to buy from - They might not be allowed to buy Juniper kit, but they can buy Dell kit etc. Seems like a sensible move to me.

    J-series is pretty much going away soon anyway, the SRX is the new low-end routing platform (or "services gateway" as they somewhat confusingly call it - can be a router, firewall, IPS, or all three depending on what you want but it should outperform a J-series for routing at the same price point.
