Arista Networks

“Being able to achieve 400 Gb network speeds in Biodesign C was a major milestone for our team, We think of our work as instrumental in powering the foundation of innovation that places ASU at the forefront of research, discovery and impact.”

“In the past, the introduction of new technologies started in the telecommunications market before expanding out into other markets, but I think modern GPU and AI networks are now driving more and more technological innovations. I look forward to exchanging information and working closely with Arista Networks in the future in the pursuit of these revolutions in technology. It is extremely hard to guess what cloud services will be used on the other side of the internet. The benefits to using cloud services are obvious from a rational economic perspective, but it is impossible to gain the ability to build these systems regardless of how much more knowledge is gained about using these cloud services. Complete dependency on technologies from overseas comes with risks. That is why we agree with the Japanese government initiatives, that building these systems domestically are so important.”

“We looked at almost every vendor you can think of and tested performance, expandability, features and, of course, looked at the future roadmap. Based on months of testing and evaluation, it was clear to us that Arista offered the best fit for our needs and a path to grow in line with the needs of the university.”
