Case Study: CASDEN Banque Populaire achieves secure, high-performance LAN & Wi‑Fi mobility with HPE Aruba Networking

Aruba delivers performance, security and reliability of LAN & Wi-Fi at CASDEN Banque Populaire’s new HQ

CASDEN Banque Populaire, the cooperative bank for France’s civil service, built a new environmentally modern headquarters and virtualised all workstations to enable remote access and simplify maintenance. The bank needed a secure, high‑performing LAN and Wi‑Fi infrastructure to support mobility, unified communications and long‑term service innovation while controlling investment and operating costs.

CASDEN deployed Aruba’s Mobile First Architecture—including 85 AP‑305 access points, Aruba 7200 controllers, ClearPass, AirWave, HPE FlexFabric/FlexNetwork switches and IMC—integrated with its firewall and HPE server‑hosted VDI. The result is site‑wide mobility and IP telephony, role‑based secure access, simplified centralised administration, improved staff collaboration and productivity, a robust high‑availability architecture and reduced maintenance overhead, with capacity initially set to 40 Gbps and room to scale.
