Case Study: Cadence stops insider threats and boosts productivity with HPE Aruba Networking

Cadence stops insider threats with security and boosts productivity with Wi-Fi

Cadence Design Systems, a global provider of electronic design software, hardware and IP with 7,000 employees across 55 locations, needed to protect corporate and client intellectual property while supplying thousands of employees, contractors and guests with appropriate network access. As the company moved to an all‑wireless workplace it required reliable, high‑performance wired and wireless infrastructure that was easy to manage across regions and scalable for future needs.

Cadence deployed Aruba Wi‑Fi and switching, ClearPass for policy‑based wired and wireless authentication, and AirWave for unified network management. The solution secured access to sensitive IP, delivered a consistent mobile experience worldwide (including Voice over Wi‑Fi and mobile web conferencing), centralized contractor access control, and provided a scalable platform for future technology such as IoT and wayfinding.
