March 8, 2021 – Award-winning Credit Union Counts on Aruba Wired and Wireless Network to Deliver New Modern, Efficient, and Seamless Services Across All Locations.

Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE: HPE), today announced that Alabama ONE, the full-service financial institution based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, has deployed an Aruba ESP (Edge Services Platform) wired and wireless network to provide reliable, high-performing Wi-Fi and new, technology-enabled experiences throughout their branch locations.

As Alabama ONE expands their footprint with new branch locations, they simultaneously wanted to add services that would improve efficiency at branch sites for both members and employees. “We were looking for a networking solution that could help us bring new branch locations online quickly and easily,” said Bobby Umfress II, director of IT Infrastructure & Operations at Alabama ONE.

In collaboration with trusted technology partner Veristor, Alabama ONE selected and deployed a future-ready wireless network comprised of Aruba Wi-Fi 6 indoor access points. For wired networking, Alabama ONE implemented Aruba’s access switches at the edge and CX Series switches for aggregation and in the data center. Aruba EdgeConnect was selected as their SD-WAN solution.

Aruba ESP provided the foundational functionality to allow Alabama ONE to move to a more proactive — rather than reactive — automated network. Aruba’s turnkey AI-powered solution enables Alabama ONE to improve efficiency and overall end-user quality of experience, as well as realize cost savings.

C-level management is always coming up with new ways to better serve our members and now that we have the right infrastructure, we can support them,” said Bobby Umfress II, director of IT Infrastructure & Operations at Alabama ONE.
