Gartner® has once again recognized HPE (HPE Aruba Networking) as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, making HPE the only company to receive this acknowledgement since the initial release of the report in 2006[1].
"Gartner defines the enterprise wired and wireless LAN infrastructure market as the hardware and software that enables local connectivity for users and devices. The infrastructure components include enterprise-class wired switches and wireless access points, and the management software that secures, manages, tests, optimizes and automates the network."
"Magic Quadrant reports are a culmination of rigorous, fact-based research in specific markets, providing a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct. Providers are positioned into four quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries and Niche Players. The research enables customers to get the most from market analysis in alignment with their unique business and technology needs."
"A Leader can address current requirements in the market and also influence and impact future market direction. Leaders typically have strong offerings that address multiple use cases today, and have strategic plans that are well-aligned with emerging user needs across multiple use cases into the future. The vendor has strong potential to drive, shape and transform the market going forward."
We are very proud of the legacy of networking that we've built over the last 19 years, and we remain committed to driving innovation that enables our customers count on us to deliver not only what they need today, but in the future as well.
