for organizations of all sizes. The company delivers solutions that empower organizations to serve mobile savvy users who rely on internal and cloud-based apps for every aspect of their work and personal lives. With services offered as software from the public or private cloud, Aruba also delivers secure connectivity for mobile and IoT. An open architecture allows IT professionals to build networks that keep up with changing technology and user behavior by migrating away from expensive-to-operate and proprietary infrastructures which were originally designed for fixed network connections within physical locations.

We are in the midst of a massive transition away from networking technologies that were designed for the 20th century when mobile, IoT and cloud did not exist. The surge in mobile and IoT means that wired and wireless networks must deliver more than just connectivity—the network is expected to provide actionable insights and analytics that justify future investments, that serve mobile and IoT needs—while keeping the network secure and without breaking the budget. Aruba solutions are optimized for today’s enterprise and SMB environments where mobile, voice and video and IoT are pervasive.
