UAE ’ s Aramtec implements HPE Aruba ’ s cold resistant networking solution
HPE announced that Aramtec , one of the longest-established food service companies in the UAE , is modernising their business with a unified network and security infrastructure provided by HPE Aruba Networking . The new solution includes the HPE Aruba Networking Edge Service Platform , a next-generation , cloud-native architecture , as well as wired and wireless connectivity throughout the warehouses and offices through HPE Aruba Networking access points and switches .
Being one of the largest foodservice suppliers in the region , importing and distributing premium food , Aramtec is a family-owned company founded in 1979 with locations in Dubai , Abu Dhabi , and Doha , Qatar . Before selecting HPE Aruba Networking , Aramtec was challenged by inadequate connectivity in the office and an insufficient wireless network in the warehouse , the heart of the food service business . The long-range barcode scanners used to check the movement of products throughout the warehouse are tied into the company ’ s inventory system , providing an overview of more than 3,500 stock keeping units .
However , in the challenging environment of the cold food storage , there was limited Wi-Fi availability , resulting in a complicated
inventory process . “ As we reviewed the status quo of the networking infrastructure of Aramtec ’ s facilities , it became clear that they required an infrastructure refresh ,” said Zeeshan Hadi , Country Manager UAE and Africa , HPE Aruba Networking .
The rugged warehouse APs , as well as the APS and switches for the offices , and the core switches for the data centre are all managed centrally through the cloud-native HPE Aruba Networking ESP solution . The new system provides a unified , cloud-native network architecture that allows Aramtec ’ s IT team to quickly automate their network management , ensure edge-to-cloud security , and leverage AI-powered insights to increase efficiency , predict changing networking needs and create new services . This , combined with the ease of deployment and management of the switches , will allow Aramtec to scale their networking as their business grows .
