Organisations increasingly rely on secure, high-performance connectivity to support distributed users, cloud applications, and modern branch networking environments.
The HPE Aruba 9004 Gateway delivers secure, high-performance connectivity for branch and edge environments. Designed to support cloud-managed networking, it integrates advanced routing, security, and WAN optimisation capabilities in a compact platform. Integrated routing, segmentation, VPN, and WAN optimisation let the platform steer traffic according to application needs while maintaining secure connectivity between users, branches, and cloud services.
Powered by a high-performance architecture with IPSec VPN, SD-WAN capabilities, advanced routing, and integration with Aruba Central cloud management, the gateway enables secure connectivity between branch locations, data centres, and cloud services. That architecture helps IT teams enforce policy consistently across distributed sites and reduces the need to manage separate devices for routing, security, and WAN path control. Organisations that require more branch throughput and tunnel scale may also consider the HPE Aruba 9012 Gateway, for supporting more users, sites and concurrent services from a single gateway tier.
The Aruba 9004 helps organisations simplify branch networking by consolidating routing, security, and connectivity services into a single device.

The HPE Aruba 9004 Gateway is designed for organisations that need a compact edge platform for secure branch networking, SD-Branch services, and wireless gateway functions. It is well suited to smaller branches and remote sites where WAN resilience, policy enforcement, and cloud-managed operations are key requirements.
The Aruba 9004 Gateway suits smaller branch locations that need routing, SD-WAN, and security in one appliance. It helps organisations unify WLAN, LAN, WAN, and security at the edge while keeping deployment simple for distributed sites.
Branch environments supporting employees, guests, and connected devices often need policy enforcement without complex VLAN designs. The Aruba 9004 Gateway supports this with dynamic segmentation and integrated firewall services across wired, wireless, and WAN traffic.
Where a remote office needs local wireless control alongside secure edge connectivity, the Aruba 9004 Gateway provides branch-scale wireless gateway services. It suits sites that need Aruba WLAN policy enforcement in a compact footprint.
Organisations running multiple WAN links at branch level can deploy the Aruba 9004 Gateway to simplify path selection and continuity across distributed sites. It is a good fit for SD-Branch designs using primary and backup uplinks.
The Aruba 9004 Gateway also fits compact enterprise environments such as retail branches, smaller healthcare sites, and satellite offices. It combines secure access, branch connectivity, and Aruba policy control in a platform sized for modest site scale.
Our team can help design and deploy Aruba 9004 Gateway infrastructure for branch SD-Branch, secure wireless edge, and compact distributed enterprise sites.
