Acquisition Impact As Axis is now part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise since 2023, there is a combined go-to-market opportunity with HPE Aruba Networking to cross-sell security services, cloud-first networking, and SSE offerings to existing HPE and Axis customers, expanding deal sizes and procurement leverage.

Cloud First Growth Recent launches of cloud-first scalable networking and FWaaS within the SSE/SASE solution indicate a strategic shift toward cloud-native security and remote workforce enablement, creating opportunities to upsell to enterprises seeking cloud-delivered security and flexible edge deployments.

Key Customers & Use Cases Notable customers like Nvidia, Kayak, and Copart demonstrate demand for secure hybrid work, digital experience optimization, and data protection across cloud and on-prem resources, enabling targeted outreach to similar enterprises with hybrid or global workforces.

Expansion & Leadership Strategic hires and regional leadership appointments (for example in the UK and Ireland) signal investment in sales capacity and regional penetration, presenting opportunities to engage local security and networking buyers with tailored SSE/SASE demonstrations.

Competitive & Market Position Consistent Gartner leadership recognition in wired and wireless LAN positions Aruba/HPE as a trusted security-enabled networking provider, which can be leveraged to approach large enterprises evaluating secure access, observability, and policy tagging across complex networks.
