West Hills Community College District aimed to enhance support for its active classrooms and on-campus housing, which generates continuous data traffic. With a lean IT staff managing multiple campuses, they sought a reliable and secure solution that could scale with evolving demands.

By adopting Aruba's end-to-end wired and wireless solutions, WHCCD improved network management through advanced AI-enabled tools, automated device onboarding, and unified security with ClearPass. This streamlined operations, reduced manual efforts, and enhanced overall network performance.

The college estimates a savings of at least $250,000 compared to their previous vendor, primarily due to reduced operational costs and the need for fewer staff to manage the network. The redundancy in their core switches also allowed for significant capital savings by deploying a single unit at each location.
