HPE Aruba Networking, previously known as Aruba Networks, is a subsidiary specializing in 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 May 19, 2015, for close to US$3 billion. Since November 1, 2015, it has functioned as HPE's "Intelligent Edge" division, consolidating all networking and security functions. The company's product range features wireless controllers, network switches, hotspots, and wireless access points.
In connection with HPE's acquisition of Juniper Networks, Instant On technology along with related patents were sold off to comply with a U.S. Department of Justice mandate for regulatory clearance.
