SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Aruba Networks, Inc. (NAS: ARUN) , a leading provider of next-generation network access solutions for the mobile enterprise, today introduced a new mobile application partner program for its Aruba WorkSpace solution that already boasts more than 40 applications at launch. The Aruba WorkSpace Partner Program establishes a community of mobile application vendors whose apps are integrated and certified to work with Aruba WorkSpace. Also announced today, Aruba WorkSpace is an addition to Aruba's ClearPass Access Management System that secures and manages mobile apps, devices and network access from one interface to secure company data and reduce BYOD helpdesk costs.
