Certified HPE Aruba Networking Partner
Serving Los Angeles.
WCC Technologies Group designs and deploys HPE Aruba Networking infrastructure for organizations across Los Angeles's healthcare, higher education, entertainment, corporate, and civic sectors. Full-stack Aruba coverage: AOS-CX switches, ClearPass Network Access Control, Aruba Central cloud management, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 access points, and dynamic segmentation — built for environments that require deeper customization, sophisticated NAC policy, and the choice between cloud and on-premise management.
Why Los Angeles Organizations Are Standardizing on HPE Aruba Networking
Los Angeles concentrates more distinct industries inside one city than anywhere else in California — entertainment and post-production, world-leading healthcare, two top-25 research universities, a major aerospace footprint, the country's busiest fashion district, and one of the most active CRE markets in North America. The network and security requirements span every major regulatory regime that applies to commercial buildings in California. As a certified Aruba partner in Los Angeles, WCC deploys AOS-CX switching, ClearPass NAC, and Wi-Fi 6E/7 across complex network environments.

HPE Aruba Networking Fits Los Angeles's Healthcare and Education Profile
Different cities have different network requirements. Here's why HPE Aruba works for the kinds of organizations operating across Los Angeles's port, healthcare, education, and corporate corridors.
ClearPass NAC for healthcare and education at LA scale
ClearPass is the industry standard for sophisticated Network Access Control in healthcare and education. For Cedars-Sinai, UCLA Health, Children's Hospital LA, Kaiser Permanente, City of Hope, plus UCLA (50,000 students), USC (49,000 students), and Loyola Marymount, ClearPass enforces dynamic segmentation based on user role, device type, time of day, and certificate status. Healthcare and higher ed are Aruba's strongest verticals.
AOS-CX programmability for LA's complex networks
AOS-CX is fully programmable via Ansible, Python, and REST API — with a built-in time-series database and the Aruba Network Analytics Engine. For LA IT teams managing complex environments — UCLA's multi-building campus, multi-acre healthcare campuses, entertainment production networks, and research environments — AOS-CX delivers significantly more capability than simple cloud dashboards.
Cloud or on-premise management — your choice
Aruba Central provides cloud management; Mobility Master and NetEdit provide on-premise alternatives. For LA's entertainment campuses where some traffic must remain inside the network for IP protection, healthcare networks under HIPAA, federal research at UCLA, and any organization where keeping management entirely on-premise removes a class of compliance concerns, the on-premise option matters. For multi-site retail and corporate, cloud often wins.
User-Based Tunneling for consistent healthcare policy
User-Based Tunneling (UBT) tunnels access-port traffic to a centralized HPE Aruba gateway for policy enforcement. Combined with ClearPass, policy follows the user regardless of where they plug in. For Cedars-Sinai's multi-building campus, UCLA Health, and the surrounding medical office network, UBT eliminates the per-port configuration burden while maintaining consistent HIPAA-aligned segmentation across hundreds of access ports.
