Aruba Networks "Leaders" in Wireless LAN Infrastructure Report

Sunnyvale, CA – Aruba Networks, Inc., a global leader in user-centric networks and secure mobility solutions, today announced that it has been positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant in Gartner's "Magic Quadrant for Wireless LAN Infrastructure, 2007" report.

­"We are very gratified to have reached this prestigious position, capping as it does a year of tremendous technical innovation and market growth by the company," said Dominic Orr, Aruba's president and CEO. "In my opinion, being positioned in the Leaders quadrant requires excellence in execution and technical vision, and represents a significant achievement for the company. We designed our user-centric networks to be the most robust, secure, and innovative unified mobility solutions on the market, and we believe this positioning validates both our direction and achievements."

Aruba's user-centric networks securely deliver the enterprise network to users by integrating adaptive wireless LANs, identity-based security, and application continuity services into a cohesive, high-performance system. Adaptive wireless LANs deliver follow-me connectivity to roaming users, support standard Wi-Fi clients -such as Apple Macintosh and Intel Centrino - and deliver toll-quality WPA2 encrypted voice and streaming video. Aruba's identity-based security associates policies with users instead of ports, delivering follow-me security that provides expanded mobility for users without compromising security. Remote access and enterprise fixed mobile convergence solutions deliver follow-me applications to users wherever they roam.

Magic Quadrants depict markets using a two-dimensional matrix that evaluates vendors based on the completeness of their vision and ability to execute. Ability to execute includes factors such as the vendor's product or services, overall viability, sales execution and pricing, market responsiveness and track record. Completeness of vision includes market understanding, market strategy, sales strategy, and offering strategy. According to the report, "A leader will have demonstrated an ability to fulfill a broad variety of customer requirements, provide an end-to-end infrastructure-based solution and have financial viability to continue that support beyond the single installation. Leaders should have demonstrated an ability to shape the market, maintain strong relationships with their channels and customers, and have no obvious gaps within the portfolio."
