What is one way that industry analysts recognize Aruba's leadership in the industry?

Question

Options

• AGartner awarded Aruba the number two spot in five out of six use cases in its 2018 Critical
• BIndustry analyst CRN recognizes Aruba primarily for its wireless expertise.
• CIndustry analysts have praised Aruba for its multiple wired and wireless architectures.
• DGartner has given Aruba the title of market leader in the wireless or wired and wireless LAN

• A
  80% (36)
• B
  11% (5)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  7% (3)

Explanation

Option A is correct because it accurately reflects a specific, verifiable recognition: Gartner placed Aruba as a leader (number two spot) in five of six use cases in its 2018 Critical Capabilities report, which is a well-known analyst benchmark used across the networking industry.

Option B is wrong because CRN is not primarily an "industry analyst" firm - it's a technology trade publication focused on the IT channel, and Aruba's recognition extends well beyond wireless alone. Option C is incorrect because Aruba is actually recognized for its unified wired and wireless approach, not "multiple" separate architectures - and this phrasing is vague and not tied to any real analyst recognition. Option D is a tempting distractor because Gartner is the right analyst firm, but Aruba was not awarded the title of "market leader" - it received recognition across specific use cases, making Option A's more precise language the accurate choice.

Memory tip: Think "Gartner + 5 out of 6 use cases = A." The key detail examiners test is the specificity - Gartner, 2018, Critical Capabilities, and the 5-of-6 figure. If an answer mentions Gartner but leaves out the use-case detail (like Option D), treat it as a trap.
