Case Study: Brasfield & Gorrie achieves 50% cost savings and rapid, secure SD‑WAN/SD‑Branch across 200 sites with HPE Aruba Networking

Construction innovator powers drones, robots, XR, and 4-D modeling across 200 next-generation sites with Aruba SD-WAN/SD-Branch

Brasfield & Gorrie, a nationally respected construction firm with 3,200 employees, 12 offices and more than 200 active jobsites, needed to modernize an aging, costly and MPLS‑dependent network. The company required a centrally managed, flexible infrastructure that could support high‑volume video, IoT and next‑generation technologies (drones, robots, XR, 4‑D modeling) while simplifying administration and speeding jobsite deployments.

Brasfield & Gorrie implemented Aruba’s SD‑WAN/SD‑Branch stack—Wi‑Fi 6 access points, SD‑WAN gateways, CX switching—managed by Aruba Central with UXI and NetEdit for AI‑powered visibility and automation. The result: zero‑touch provisioning cut branch deployments from days to hours, direct internet access replaced MPLS to reduce circuit and overall networking costs by about 50%, troubleshooting time fell by up to 75%, performance and security improved, and the firm can now scale advanced site technologies reliably and efficiently.
