Magic Quadrant
Gartner evaluates vendors included in the Magic Quadrant based
on two primary criteria: completeness of vision and ability to
execute. HPE (Aruba) was positioned the furthest in vision of all
vendors in the quadrant, which Aruba believes recognizes the
company’s continued innovation and ability to anticipate and
address customer challenges.
In addition, in the companion piece to the Magic Quadrant, the
Gartner Critical Capabilities for Wired and Wireless LAN Access
Infrastructure, Gartner evaluated vendor effectiveness in
addressing an organization’s needs in six key use cases: Unified
Wired and WLAN Access, WLAN-only Refresh/New Build, Wired-only
Refresh/New build, Remote Branch Office with Corporate HQ,
Performance Stringent Applications, and Hands-off NetOps. Aruba
received the highest scores in all six of these use cases.
“Our ‘Customer First, Customer Last’ culture drives our
commitment and focus across the entire Aruba organization from
building our products and delivering our services, to helping our
customers and partners in the field and supporting them on the
back-end,” said Michael Dickman, senior vice president of Product
Management at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. “The
continued recognition by Gartner of HPE (Aruba) is gratifying and
we couldn’t be prouder of our clear market leadership via Aruba ESP
(Edge Services Platform). The networking landscape may have changed
over the past 15 years with different vendors coming and going but
Aruba’s commitment to customer-driven innovation has kept us on the
forefront at every step, becoming the Edge authority that the
market turns to time and again. We are grateful to our customers
and partners for their continued trust.”
In addition to the 2020 Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless
LAN Access Infrastructure and Critical Capabilities reports, HPE
(Aruba) has also been recognized by Gartner for other aspects of
its industry-leading portfolio. In September 2020, just two years
after launching its SD-Branch solution, Aruba was recognized as a
Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge
Infrastructure, and Silver Peak, recently acquired by HPE (Aruba)
was positioned as a Leader for the third consecutive year. HPE
(Aruba) was also positioned as a Visionary in the 2020 Magic
Quadrant for Data Center and Cloud Networking.
