Yes it add wireless to HP's kit but I don't think it was about that. I think its more about hitting Dell/Juniper/Brocade as none of them will be wanting to continue this.
As I said to my Dell account manager 6 months ago drop Aruba and talk to Aerohive now I bet there is plenty of that going on.
Now some poor HP guy gets to deal with Aruba BOM lists (nightmare and among the worst) as well as dropping their prices as they are some 6-8 times more expensive than Aerohive (not sure of Cisco have not really used).
