Read Part 2: Elevate Community Registration Closing Soon

We’re pleased to share an exciting update: the Juniper Elevate Community and the HPE Airheads Community are coming together as one unified HPE Networking Community. This is more than a platform transition. It is an opportunity to bring two trusted technical communities together in a way that strengthens the experience for everyone. Elevate has long been a destination for Juniper customers, partners, and experts to exchange product knowledge, solve challenges, and share real-world guidance. Airheads has built a similarly strong tradition of peer-to-peer collaboration across HPE Aruba Networking. Together, we can create a broader, more connected community where networking professionals can find answers, learn from one another, and engage across the full HPE Networking portfolio. 

 
What to Expect in the Transition

During this transition, our goal is to preserve the value of Elevate while making it easier for members to benefit from the combined knowledge, resources, and conversations of both communities. We will share specific dates and additional details as they become available, but here is what is currently planned: 

  • Early September: We will disable new Elevate registrations as we begin directing new members into the unified community experience through theAirheads Community. 

  • Mid-September: Elevate will transition to a read-only environment, and the unified HPE Networking Community will launch with up-to-date content from both communities, and. 

  • By the end of September: The standalone Elevate Community will be retired, and members will continue their community experience as part of the combined HPE Networking Community. 
     

We’ve also created a landing pad for Elevate members within the Airheads Community as we bring both communities together. You cancheck it out here, and as the integration progresses, we’ll continue adding resources and features that help Elevate members navigate the expanded HPE Networking Community experience. 

 
New Community Features & Changes 

  • Member migration:If you have accessed your Elevate account within the last three years, your account will be automatically brought into the unified community. 

  • Content continuity:Elevate forum content will migrate with its structure preserved, helping maintain existing discussions and making it easier for members to continue finding and sharing answers within the combined community. 

  • Open Forum Visibility:All discussions will be accessible to the entire community. 

  • Exclusive Content for Members:Certain resources and content will remain accessible only to verified community members. 

  • Streamlined Sign-In:A new Single Sign-On (SSO) will simplify access, and the account registration process will be more straightforward than ever. 

  • More opportunities to participate:Join webinars, become a blogger, follow top discussions, and stay up to date through the monthly newsletter as the community expands across the HPE Networking portfolio. 

 

Looking Ahead 

 
This integration marks an exciting step toward a more connected and resource-rich HPE Networking Community. By bringing Elevate and Airheads together, we are combining the strengths of both communities: the deep Juniper expertise and technical conversations Elevate members value, along with the broader peer collaboration, resources, and engagement opportunities available through Airheads. 

 
We appreciate the role Elevate members have played in building a trusted space for technical knowledge and peer-to-peer support. Your contributions remain central to what comes next, and we look forward to welcoming you into a stronger, expanded community where customers, partners, and experts can continue shaping the future of networking together. 

 

This is an exciting milestone for our communities and for HPE Networking. Together, we’re creating a richer, more valuable experience that reflects the power of our combined expertise and the strength of our shared technical community.
