Back to All Partners HPE ARUBA TL;DR: HPE Aruba Networking is INVITE’s primary infrastructure partner for campus, branch, and wide-area networking — delivering the wired and wireless foundation that INVITE deploys, manages, and monitors for businesses in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and beyond. If your network is slowing your business down, INVITE’s HPE Aruba practice is where the fix starts. HPE Aruba Networking is the networking division of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). Its portfolio spans wired switching, wireless access points, SD-WAN, and network security — covering every connectivity layer from the data center core to the mobile device in an employee’s pocket. INVITE deploys and manages HPE Aruba infrastructure for mid-market businesses that need enterprise-grade networking without the overhead of building and staffing a dedicated network team in-house. What does HPE Aruba Networking include? HPE Aruba’s portfolio addresses every aspect of enterprise connectivity. INVITE deploys and manages the following solutions for clients across Utah and Arizona: Wired switching (Aruba CX) — High-performance switching with intelligent automation, built-in security, and centralized visibility via Aruba Central. INVITE uses CX switching as the backbone for client network builds requiring reliability and sub-second failover. Wireless LAN (Aruba APs) — Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E access points delivering consistent coverage across campus, branch, and remote-worker environments. INVITE configures and manages SSID segmentation, guest access, and device policy from a single pane of glass. SD-WAN (Aruba EdgeConnect) — Software-defined WAN that optimizes application performance across MPLS, broadband, and LTE links. Multi-site businesses benefit from dynamic path selection and centralized policy without the complexity of traditional MPLS-only designs. Network security (Aruba Policy Enforcement Firewall) — Role-based access control applied at the network edge, segmenting users and devices based on identity rather than IP address. INVITE integrates this layer with Palo Alto Networks firewalls for clients requiring defense-in-depth. Aruba Central — Cloud-based network management and AIOps platform. INVITE’s NOC team uses Central for real-time visibility, automated remediation, and anomaly detection across all managed client networks. What outcomes do INVITE’s HPE Aruba clients see? Network outcomes are measurable. One Salt Lake City client — a mid-market organization with multi-site infrastructure — achieved 99.9% uptime after INVITE redesigned their core network using HPE Aruba switching and wireless, with full redundancy and 24x7x365 NOC monitoring. The redesign replaced a flat, unmanaged network that had caused multiple unplanned outages in the prior year. After the Aruba deployment, unplanned downtime dropped to zero over the following 12 months. INVITE serves businesses across Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front in Utah, as well as Phoenix, Arizona. Both markets benefit from INVITE’s certified HPE Aruba engineering team — architects who have designed and deployed Aruba infrastructure in healthcare, professional services, logistics, and manufacturing environments. Why does INVITE partner with HPE Aruba specifically? INVITE is both a managed service provider and a value-added reseller (VAR). That combination matters for networking: INVITE doesn’t just recommend HPE Aruba equipment — INVITE procures it, configures it, installs it, and then manages it under a single ongoing agreement. Clients don’t navigate a handoff between their reseller and their MSP, because they’re the same team. HPE Aruba’s architecture is also built for manageability at scale. Aruba Central’s AIOps capabilities — anomaly detection, root cause analysis, and automated recommendations — give INVITE’s NOC team the visibility to catch and resolve issues before they reach end users. Combined with INVITE’s 24/7 monitoring practice, the result is a network that’s consistently available and continuously improving. Frequently Asked Questions: HPE Aruba and INVITE Networks Does INVITE only use HPE Aruba for networking, or do you work with other vendors? INVITE’s primary networking infrastructure partner is HPE Aruba for campus and branch environments. For data center networking and security, INVITE also works with Cisco and Palo Alto Networks. The right platform depends on the client’s environment and requirements — INVITE recommends based on fit, not vendor preference. Can INVITE manage an existing HPE Aruba environment, or only new deployments? Both. INVITE onboards existing Aruba deployments into its managed services practice regularly — bringing them under 24/7 NOC monitoring, Aruba Central management, and INVITE’s standard configuration and patching cadence. See INVITE’s managed services page for details on what ongoing management includes. What markets does INVITE serve with HPE Aruba solutions? INVITE’s HPE Aruba practice serves businesses in Salt Lake City, Utah (including the broader Wasatch Front) and Phoenix, Arizona. Remote-first managed services extend INVITE’s reach to distributed and multi-site organizations across both regions. Is HPE Aruba a good fit for my business size? HPE Aruba’s enterprise platform is best suited to businesses with 25 or more employees, multiple locations, or compliance requirements that demand network segmentation and access control. INVITE offers a no-obligation network assessment to help determine the right fit — Salt Lake City businesses can start here.
