Case Study: Annie Wright Schools achieves reliable campus Wi‑Fi and simplified IT with HPE Aruba Networking

Bringing clarity to the student experience

Annie Wright Schools, an International Baccalaureate school in Tacoma, Washington serving students ages three through Grade 12, needed a wireless‑first campus to support digital learning, create a comfortable boarder experience, and simplify network management for a two‑person IT team. The school wanted to keep pace with the latest networking technology and adopt network as a service (NaaS) to deliver reliable Wi‑Fi across its four divisions.

HPE deployed Aruba Wi‑Fi 6/6E access points, ClearPass Policy Manager, Aruba Central, and HPE GreenLake for Networking to modernize the campus network. The solution improved connectivity campuswide, delivered predictable network costs through NaaS, and reduced the operational burden on the small in‑house IT team.
