HPE Networking – Aruba campus networks and access control
SYNEDAT plans HPE networking with a focus on the Aruba portfolio: campus switching, wireless, Central and network access. Existing devices, user applications and your preferred operating model guide the design.
Which product family fits your needs?
HPE Aruba Networking Central
Centralize network management and operational information. SYNEDAT checks device versions, ownership and migration of existing configurations.
HPE Aruba Networking Switching & Wireless
Design LAN and wireless for ports, power, radio coverage and redundancy. Measurable application tests form the acceptance baseline.
HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass / Central NAC
Control network access using identities and device types. We compare suitable deployment options and plan exceptions for devices without modern authentication.
HPE Networking SSE
Include application access beyond the campus. SYNEDAT checks identity integration, endpoint requirements and the scope of existing VPN access.
License scope, availability, term and support are reviewed for your project and specified in the quote.
Where the solution adds value
Assign devices to roles in stages
We inventory managed clients, printers, guests and technical devices. A pilot tests classification and allowed and blocked connections before site-wide enforcement.
Standardize operations across sites
SYNEDAT aligns templates, roles and maintenance windows. Alerts identify site and owner; changes receive traceable approval and a rollback option.
What matters when choosing
- Users and applications
- User count alone is not enough for planning. We consider applications, concurrent connections, sites and required availability.
- Physical requirements
- Radio conditions, cabling, ports, PoE budget and rack mounting affect selection. For hardware, we check the exact model and compatible accessories.
- Management and expansion
- Cloud or local management, operational access and expansion are agreed up front so new components fit your existing network architecture.
From selection to deployment
Define requirements and objectives
We review systems, users, security requirements and budget. The result is a reasoned selection with a defined scope.
Validate suitability in a pilot
For an agreed pilot, we define tests, acceptance criteria and responsibilities. You receive a documented basis for the investment decision.
Plan rollout and operations
We plan migration, configuration, handover and support together. Scope and responsibilities are agreed before rollout.

Questions to help you decide
Does Central require replacing the entire network?
This is assessed by model and software version. We document supported devices, necessary upgrades and components that remain separately managed.
What information does a NAC pilot need?
Device types, identity sources, certificate methods and allowed connections are needed. Exceptions and behavior during authentication outages belong in the test plan.
How do you plan Wi-Fi across several sites?
We consider buildings, devices, applications and roaming. Radio planning and, where needed, a site survey establish access point placement, channel planning and acceptance criteria.
Must all components come from one manufacturer?
Not necessarily. Supported standards, management interfaces and the intended operating model matter. We check dependencies and vendor-specific features before selection.
Can I request a demo or pilot first?
Yes. Tell us your intended use case. We will discuss available evaluation options, prerequisites, effort and acceptance criteria. A pilot is agreed separately before it starts.
What does SYNEDAT need for a quote?
Useful details include product family, deployment location, current systems, user or device count and target date. We clarify open points together and distinguish the product, implementation and ongoing services in the quote.
Can SYNEDAT help with rollout and ongoing operations?
We agree the services you need, such as architecture, integration, migration, documentation or operational support. Vendor support, response times and ongoing assistance are explicitly defined in the agreed scope.
