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.
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.
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.
“Migrating 85 sites in under a quarter without a single disruption was remarkable but it’s just one example of what Aryaka delivers for us every day. From accelerating application performance to strengthening our security posture, Aryaka has consistently helped us simplify operations, reduce risk, and keep our business moving at full speed.”
