Case Study: Le Bloc achieves seamless, secure network access for every client with HPE Aruba Networking

Aruba Wi-Fi + ClearPass + Switches, a seamless and secure network for every client

Le Bloc is a 500 m² coworking space in Paris hosting startups, freelancers and 112 workstations across three levels. The Eyrolles group needed a seamless, high‑performance network that preserved each client’s data confidentiality while allowing freedom of movement and full coverage—both wired and wireless—24x7 throughout the premises.

Aruba’s proposal was implemented: nine Aruba IAP‑315 APs, Aruba ClearPass policy manager, and HPE access switches with two 1 Gbps fiber links and a Gigabit wired LAN socket for every workstation. Dynamic VLANs (one SSID per client) and ClearPass automatic device recognition provide private, persistent access as users move around; the result is a highly available, easy‑to‑use network with strong access control, excellent performance and simplified onboarding.
