“As a global leader in secure and intelligent edge-to-cloud network solutions, Aruba’s forward-thinking solutions provide our users with seamless and secure network experience, empowering them to innovate as well as elevate their performance. By partnering with a trusted regional distributor like Plexus Global, we are able to support enterprises across Sri Lanka and the Maldives effectively by addressing their networking challenges to unlock new potential,” said Magic Hsu, Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, Director and General Manager, Growth and Emerging Markets (GEMs) and Taiwan. 

Commenting on the significance of the new partnership, Plexus Global Network Consultant Sumudu Perera remarked, “With the rapidly evolving global business environment, it is essential for the enterprises in Sri Lanka to adopt digital processes to align with new business dynamics and survive. WAN connectivity plays a major role in achieving success in the journey of an enterprise’s digital transformation.
