Aruba to speed up GEMS Education’s Digital Transformation

Aruba reinforced its long-standing commitment to providing GEMS Education with the latest cutting-edge networking technologies that will serve as a foundation for innovation and help the institution redefine the future of education. 

One of the oldest and biggest private education companies in the world, GEMS Education serves students from Kindergarten through Grade 12/Year 13. The Group’s almost 60 years in education have been guided by a single mission: to make high-quality education accessible to all students. It has always recognized the opportunities that the proper application of technology presents, and it has constantly invested in digital tools and platforms to improve teaching and learning over the years.

The private school has been setting new benchmarks and redefining the future of education. Aruba, a Hewlett-Packard Enterprise company, has been one of the longest technology partners and a major aide in the school’s digital transformation.

Jacob Chacko, Regional Director – Middle East, Saudi & South Africa at Aruba said “Our association with GEMS goes back over a decade. We consider it a huge honour and achievement to be associated with the world’s largest provider of K-12 education. Over the years, we have been involved in creating a robust unified networking infrastructure through Aruba’s wireless and secure access management technologies coupled with HPE’s switches, enabling the Group to transition to a more technology-enriched and secure environment. I can’t thank GEMS Education enough for giving us the opportunity to be a part of their digital transformation journey and we reiterate our commitment to continue to support them as their plans for digitalization further evolves.”

Shabeer Mohammed, Chief Information Officer at GEMS Education said “HPE Aruba is a powerhouse when it comes to cloud-centric networking. As a close partner with the vendor, GEMS Education has access to the latest state-of-the-art technologies that ensures that our students and faculty have anywhere, anytime and seamless connectivity that is reliable and secure. With the Aruba networking infrastructure in place, we have the confidence to move ahead with a number of innovative technology initiatives that rely on the strong foundation that the vendor provides. They have excelled in always providing the right technologies to us on time, proving again and again that they are the right vendor of choice for GEMS Education. Digital transformation is an ongoing exercise and we appreciate the vendor’s commitment to supporting our future plans.”
