Huh? They had basically 0 market share outside of SMB in the switching space.
Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Force10 (Dell).
Foundry was the bottom dollar alternative before being acquired by brocade, which Broadcom eventually ruined. And mellanox in the HPC space.
I’ve literally never run across HP switches in any enterprise datacenter, including shops that were “all in” with HP.
- dbmnt 1y agoAruba Networks (acquired by HP in 2015, right before HP split into HP/HPE) has approximately 5% of the market for switching outside of the datacenter segment. They aren't a big player in the DC, you're right about that. Google used to use HP (pre Aruba) switches in the DC in the early days. Not many though. Mostly for OOB access. I doubt they still do.
