Agreed. We have LH still in production, came up from the 160’s (supermicro), 2060’s (dell), and 4300’s (HP). LH was amazing with support, and an easy front-range trip to make to their support center / labs. HP support is terrible with LH products, and we are also no longer an LH customer.

Awesome mid-tier solution…bought by HP. HP decided that their in-house technical support could do a better job off supporting the product than the folks who had all the knowledge. We went for two years having to figure things out ourselves. The LeftHand products are still in existence, but HP has now priced them in the stratosphere. I no longer am a LeftHand/HP customer… Brian ________________________________ Brian Holley • Assistant VP / CSO Middle Tennessee State University • mtsu.edu<http://www.mtsu.edu/> Office 615-898-2228 • Cell 615-601-2025 From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray DeJean Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 2:34 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] HP is reportedly trying to buy Aruba Networks On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 2:25 PM, Coehoorn, Joel <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > I do think this can be good for Aruba....

HP doesn't have a good track record for "integrating well" with the products it acquires. I remember 3com well. We were all 3com. After a few years of the HP/3com mess, we're Brocade now. And last year, stopped buying Aruba in favor of Ruckus. :) Ray ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
