The company was founded in Sunnyvale, California in 2002 by Keerti Melkote and Pankaj Manglik. On March 2, 2015, Hewlett-Packard announced it would acquire Aruba Networks for approximately US$3 billion. [1] On May 19, 2015, HP completed the acquisition. As of November 1, 2015, the company operates as the "Intelligent Edge" business unit of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, which encompasses all of HP/HPE's networking and security related operations and acquisitions. The company's products include network switches, access points, hotspots, and wireless controllers.

Following their acquisition of Juniper Networks, Hewlett Packard Enterprise agreed to divest their Instant On technology and patents as part of an agreement with the United States Department of Justice that allowed the acquisition to pass regulatory approval. [2]
