Hubbell is an American company that designs, manufactures and sells electrical and electronic products for construction, industrial and utility applications. With more than 100 years in business, global operations and a multi-billion dollar market capitalization, Hubbell continues to focus on growth and innovation in delivering high quality, dependable products.

The Challenge

In 2022 Hubbell’s legacy MPLS network was limiting application performance and reliability, especially for critical sites in China, the UK, and India. Managing failover between MPLS and internet backup consumed significant IT resources, while unstable connections at recently acquired sites created inconsistent user experiences.

Accessing SAP systems, Azure, and shared files was slow and unpredictable, and fragmented network visibility made troubleshooting difficult.

Fast forward to 2025, Hubbell faced another pivotal challenge: migrating away from its existing Check Point Quantum Edge virtual network function (VNF) deployed on Aryaka ANAPs, after the vendor announced end-of-life for the product. With 85 sites requiring migration, the priority was clear — execute the transition seamlessly, with zero business disruption.

The Solution

From the start of Hubbell’s transformation, Aryaka emerged as the only provider able to deliver the performance, visibility, security, and agility required — all as a fully managed service. Aryaka’s Unified SASE complete with global private backbone, last-mile management, and hosted managed firewall formed the foundation for a high-performance, cloud-first WAN.

When the Check Point migration challenge arose, Aryaka leveraged its OnePASS Architecture to deliver a smooth, rapid transition. The deployment model’s compatibility with Hubbell’s existing infrastructure, combined with standardized Day-0 configurations and reusable policies, created a repeatable template that accelerated rollout across all sites. The Aryaka Delivery Team’s precision ensured a uniform, predictable process with minimal retraining for IT staff.

Business Results with Aryaka

The initial deployment replaced MPLS with a more stable, secure, and high-performing WAN, unlocking:

  • Higher productivity
    Through improved SAP, Azure, and cloud application performance
  • Stronger security posture
    With integrated Zero Trust principles
  • Global network visibility
    Via a single-pane management portal
  • Reduced IT overhead
    By eliminating complexity and offloading operational management

The more recent VNF migration proved Aryaka’s ability to execute flawlessly at scale:

  • 85 sites migrated in under a quarter
    With no downtime
  • Standardized configurations
    For predictable, repeatable deployments
  • Ongoing business impact
    From reduced risk to faster innovation
