All: While we understand and respect that this forum exists for Educause constituents, without any unsolicited marketing information from vendors, I felt the need to comment on the recent Meru Networks acquisition by Fortinet.
I am excited to announce that Meru Networks has now officially been acquired by Fortinet. For more details, you can refer to the Press Release<http://www.fortinet.com/press_releases/2015/fortinet-closes-acquisition-meru-networks..html>. With all mergers and acquisitions, questions arise. First, I want to assure this community that Meru's product roadmap and support processes are still in place. We will continue to invest in Meru's unique "Network In Control" platform with Virtual Cell, Channel Layering and SDN Wi-Fi, providing a true end-to-end, deterministic, wireless user experience. And we expect the combined company to be only stronger. Fortinet is an innovation leader, with a product and technology focus, a track record of success, a Worldwide customer base, and over $1B in annual sales and over $1B in cash with no debt. Our people, technology and products will begin integrating in the coming months, benefitting existing Fortinet and Meru customers, and future customers. As we move through the transition, our branding will change immediately, with product and solution enhancements coming soon.
