HPE & HPE Aruba Networking Solutions for Kirtland Air Force Base

Kirtland Air Force Base sits on the southeast edge of Albuquerque, adjacent to the Albuquerque International Sunport, and is one of the most research-intensive installations in the U.S. Air Force. As host unit, the 377th Air Base Wing manages base operations, security, and infrastructure, while Kirtland is home to the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), elements of the Air Force Research Laboratory including the Directed Energy and Space Vehicles directorates, the 58th Special Operations Wing, and the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center. The base also neighbors Sandia National Laboratories, making the surrounding area a dense hub of national-security research and development.

This mission profile drives demanding IT requirements: high-assurance data center infrastructure, resilient and segmented networks, and laboratory and campus connectivity that can scale with compute-heavy research workloads. Buyers at Kirtland increasingly prioritize zero-trust architectures, network modernization aligned to DoD cybersecurity guidance, and equipment that meets federal supply-chain and compliance standards such as the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) and NDAA Section 889.

Uniqcli supports these priorities with the full HPE portfolio. We supply HPE Aruba Networking switching and wireless for campus and base networks, HPE Juniper Networking for high-throughput routing and data center fabrics, and HPE compute and storage for data center modernization. As an authorized reseller focused on U.S. public sector, we quote and deliver through the contract vehicles Air Force and DoD offices use every day, so acquisition stays fast, compliant, and auditable.
