“This is the largest and most significant project we have undertaken within Virgin Media O2 that will radically impact how we manage the network over the next decade, Our selection of Arista as the core network technology has been carefully considered and extensively tested. To date, the results have either …

"For us the future is a fully 100Gbps architecture, so our plan is to bring the next generation of Arista kit back into our labs and put it through its paces – and we know that behind us we have the Arista engineers and support team that are simply awesome!"

“We had already upgraded our old Medialaan studios in Vilvoorde to a hybrid IP and SDI infrastructure to support SMPTE 2110, but the new facility at Mediaplein was effectively a blank slate which allowed us the luxury of being able to specify exactly what we wanted for our IP connectivity …

“We call it the next evolution of networking and we believe that one day all operators will be like this, A future where each customer has the freedom to adapt the service provider network to their individual business requirements without sacrificing quality, performance or reliability is now a reality.”

“In order to have the maximum scalability we selected to use a L3 mesh backbone between switch and transport traffic using VXLAN encapsulation, This particular configuration offers the required flexibility and simple provisioning operation in order to provide effective network transport, for Fixed Mobile itself and our wholesale customers.”

“Our needs have changed as ITN has grown and today it is critical for us to be able to adapt to new demands and workflows with flexibility at scale. The move to an IP network is a significant change for us – and it will be with us for a …

“IG is a rapidly moving business using modern software development methodologies, however, the legacy infrastructure was becoming the obstacle. The test of a successful infrastructure is that it should be invisible to everyone. With the legacy architecture this was not the case; there were numerous service disruptions and any changes …

“After a tender, a thorough examination with Arista’s local team and discussions with Arista customers in Israel, we chose Arista solutions as our way of transitioning to modern communication equipment and supporting our bandwidth growth while also integrating up-to-date analytics capabilities, strengthening visibility, and implementing mechanisms of deductive reasoning. We …

“We also liked the fact that the Arista EOS is the same across all the switches, it’s easy to operate and low maintenance. Another benefit was the centralised orchestration capability which was very powerful.”

"Our data processing applications in these centers operate in high-performance compute clusters which demand low latency, and high bandwidth from the network. Arista's networking solutions delivered on these key requirements. By working with Arista we've developed a more efficient 10 Gb Ethernet seismic processing center architecture with the ability to …

“Utilizing one OS on all our networking platforms makes patching, supporting, and training easy. This solidly reinforces the strategy we desire for our global networking vision.”

“We are building 11 new data centers worldwide in 12 months, We utilize the power of standardization to build a stronger network which enables our production and supply chain to bring the products to our customer faster and trouble-free.”

"Our technical guys were particularly impressed by the ease of management of Arista and during operation it has allowed us to make major changes that would typically take weeks in just a few days.”

“I really took a risk moving off the incumbent vendor, but it has more than paid off. The network is so stable I haven’t had to touch the network much in 3 years.”

“The Arista solution is proven and well established within the media and entertainment sector with successful deployments at major broadcasters across Europe. it delivers high performance and scalable capacity while supporting open standards that works well with SDN platforms such as DataMiner.”
