ARUBA NETWORKS IN "GARTNER LEADER" QUADRANT.

"Being recognized in the leader quadrant by Gartner is truly gratifying," said Don LeBeau, president and CEO of Aruba Networks. "According to Gartner, a leader is defined not only by its vision, but by the ability to execute on that vision. We believe Aruba's vision to enable user mobility across the enterprise is driven by a fast-growing base of customers who understand the profound impact mobility has on their business."

Aruba is adding over 100 customers per quarter and is experiencing triple-digit annual growth rates. The company currently ships over 7,000 access points and hundreds of mobility systems each month to enterprise customers around the world. Aruba has amassed over 750 enterprise customers since shipping its first product in July of 2003.
