Aruba Named a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure

November 17, 2017, Beijing - Recently, Aruba, a leading global provider of next-generation network solutions, was rated as a leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure. This is the twelfth year that Aruba has been rated as a "Leader" in the Gartner report.

Every year, Gartner uses the "Magic Quadrant" to evaluate the development and position of suppliers of LAN access layer products and services in the professional and technical markets. The report analyzes the foresight and application capabilities of LAN suppliers for transformative technologies, as well as the methods and capabilities to meet customers' future needs, covering network components from basic hardware (Aps, switches, controllers) to software layers (security, management, monitoring, location services, network assurance). Through the two dimensions of "Ability to Execute" and "Completeness of Vision", Gartner once again named Aruba as a leader in the 2017 "Magic Quadrant Report on Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure".

The report shows that Aruba is ahead of all competitors in the dimension of "foresight". Aruba has not only implemented the current plan well, but also prepared for future development. Adhering to the consistent "customer first" concept, Aruba's innovation ability, strategic foresight and technical capabilities are sufficient to provide personalized services and situational experiences that better meet customer needs.
