Innoventures Education, a premier private school group in the UAE, has significantly elevated its digital learning capabilities through the implementation of HPE Aruba Networking Central, an AI-driven, cloud-native management platform. This strategic upgrade supports over 9,000 students and 1,500 staff members across multiple schools and early childhood centers, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to delivering secure, reliable, and technologically advanced educational experiences. As Innoventures expands with new campuses in Dubai and Sharjah, this platform plays a central role in fostering innovation, inclusivity, and academic excellence.
The deployment provides Innoventures with real-time, AI-powered visibility across its entire wired and wireless network infrastructure. Machine learning algorithms actively identify irregularities, forecast potential disruptions, and suggest automated solutions, ensuring that learning spaces, from classrooms and labs to libraries and activity areas, remain consistently connected.
Poonam Bhojani, CEO of Innoventures Education, emphasized the impact of this technology, stating, “Our goal has always been to eliminate physical barriers to education. Thanks to the AI features in HPE Aruba Networking Central, we can now foresee technical challenges before they interfere with instruction. This allows our teachers and learners to enjoy a seamless digital environment that encourages inquiry-driven and collaborative approaches.”
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives are a cornerstone of the group’s digital strategy, with thousands of personal and school-issued devices accessing the network daily. HPE Aruba Networking Central integrates smoothly with ClearPass network access control, enforcing role-based security measures and Zero Trust principles. Every device, whether a student tablet or staff laptop, connects safely and adheres to established policies.
Transitioning to a cloud-native management system has streamlined operations for Innoventures’ IT department. The platform’s AI automation minimizes repetitive tasks, decreases support requests, and accelerates response times. These operational improvements also support the institution’s sustainability goals by lowering energy consumption across network functions.
“With Central, we’re working smarter and more effectively,” Poonam added. “Our IT staff now dedicates less effort to troubleshooting and more to fostering innovation inside our classrooms.”
From smart classrooms to immersive hybrid learning setups, HPE Aruba Networking Central enables Innoventures to incorporate next-generation educational tools such as interactive displays, augmented and virtual reality applications, cloud collaboration platforms, and AI-assisted teaching aids. The outcome is a digitally advanced campus environment that equips students to excel in a tech-centric global landscape.
Zeeshan Hadi, Business Head for UAE and Africa at HPE Aruba Networking, remarked, “Innoventures Education exemplifies how technology and education can merge to redefine learning spaces. Their proactive adoption of our platform demonstrates a visionary and pioneering mindset, one where artificial intelligence and automation enrich the academic journey while maintaining a high-performance, always-available network. This is essential for providing secure, smooth, and scalable connectivity. We take great pride in supporting their mission to equip students and educators with the digital resources necessary for success.”
