Today, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by HP. Upon completion of this transaction, Aruba will combine our innovation engine and specialized sales, marketing and customer service model with HP's existing networking business to form what I believe will be a leading force in business mobility.
So why is this move a good thing for our customers? I would like to offer four answers:
First, you will be working with the same Aruba… but even faster and with greater resources. You will continue to benefit from Aruba's industry-leading innovation engine, our 'Customer First, Customer Last' culture and our exceptional customer support. We anticipate that we will accelerate the pace of our innovation following the transaction, leveraging the combined R&D engineering expertise, budgets and resources of Aruba and HP.
Second, we will offer a broader portfolio. We expect you will have access to a broader portfolio of networking products in the future. And with Keerti leading the innovation efforts, I expect this portfolio to truly live up to the "better together" promise.
Third, we will offer flexibility and choice. Aruba and HP share a vision of open system networking, with compatible solution components rather than proprietary systems that lead to vendor lock-in. ClearPass and AirWave's multi-vendor support capabilities give you complete freedom to select your wireless and wired infrastructure vendor (or vendors) of choice.
Fourth will be our global reach. Following the transaction, Aruba customers will be able to leverage HP's global resources, including global service delivery, systems integrators and channel partners throughout the world.
