HPE Aruba Networking, previously known as Aruba Networks, is a subsidiary focused on security and networking, headquartered in Santa Clara, California, and operating under Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).
Established in 2002 in Sunnyvale, California by founders Keerti Melkote and Pankaj Manglik, Aruba Networks was purchased by Hewlett-Packard on March 2, 2015, for roughly US$3 billion. The transaction was finalized on May 19, 2015. From November 1, 2015 onward, Aruba functions as HPE's "Intelligent Edge" division, consolidating all networking and security functions along with related acquisitions. Its offerings encompass network switches, access points, wireless hotspots, and controllers for wireless networks.
After acquiring Juniper Networks, HPE agreed to sell its Instant On technology and associated patents to comply with regulatory conditions imposed by the United States Department of Justice.
