University Deploys Secure, Campus-Wide Data, Video, and Voice Network

Sunnyvale, CA, July 30, 2008 - Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARUN), a global leader in adaptive wireless LANs and secure unified mobility solutions, today announced that the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) has deployed Aruba's adaptive wireless LANs throughout its Gombak and Kuatan campuses. Founded in 1983, IIUM's main campus, a 700 acre facility in Gombak, serves 20,000 students drawn from more than 90 countries. The new network was installed by Transition Malaysia, an Aruba-authorized business partner, and provides pervasive wireless coverage across both campuses.

"The university's legacy wireless network served only selected areas of the two campuses, and used stand-alone access points, also called Fat APs, with limited guest access, complex management requirements, and no expansion capabilities," said Dr. Ahmad Unggul, IIUM's Deputy Director of ITD. "To meet both current and projected network demand, a reliable, centrally-managed, campus-wide network was needed � one that offered comprehensive guest access provisions, and supported data, video, and voice applications."

"We selected Aruba for the project because their network management architecture can manage, diagnose, troubleshoot, and update all of the university's 765 access points from IIUM's Gombak and Kuantan data centers," said Engr. Jaiz Anuar Yeop Johari, Project Manager of IIUM Campus Wide Wireless Project. "Centralized management minimizes our IT costs by avoiding the need to dispatch staff for routine support and maintenance tasks. Overhead is further reduced by Aruba's identity-based security, which enables access privileges to be based on a user's role. Our staff can now easily define roles for students, faculty, guests, and contractors, and know with confidence that access privileges will be enforced uniformly across all of our facilities."

Aruba's unified mobility solutions securely deliver networks to users by integrating adaptive wireless LANs, identity-based security, application continuity services, and multivendor network management into a cohesive, high-performance system. Adaptive wireless LANs deliver follow-me connectivity to roaming users, support standard Wi-Fi clients, and deliver high-speed data, toll-quality voice, and streaming video applications. Aruba's identity-based security associates policies with users instead of ports, delivering follow-me security that enhances mobility without compromising security.

"Many universities throughout the Asia Pacific region want to replace their aging Fat AP networks with state-of-the-art Wi-Fi solutions that are more easily managed and support multimedia applications," said Mike Guo, Aruba's Vice President of Asia Pacific. "IIUM is a textbook example of how a campus-wide infrastructure upgrade can support new learning initiatives without burdening the IT organization with additional overhead. We're delighted to welcome IIUM to our fast growing roster of higher education customers, and look forward to working with them on new initiatives in the years ahead."
