188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“We eventually decided upon an Arista based leaf and spine network supported by VMware for application, network and storage virtualisation as together they offered the best combination of performance and reliability within a significantly simpler design. We also worked with a local Arista partner, UCS, to ensure we always had support on hand here in Romania. It was evident from speaking with all vendors that there was a clear roadmap for each technology that aligned with our own future direction.”

"At Voxel we needed a high performance infrastructure to exceed our customer requirements that also had to deliver maximum uptime while tying into our operational workflows for our VoxCloud service. Arista switches improved response times and also allowed us to cost-effectively manage our growth with 10GbE at an unbelievable price."

“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 met or surpassed our expectations. For us, the relationship with Arista is a strategic partnership and our vision around areas such as open standards and the future technology roadmap are aligned which gives us confidence in the long-term success of this transformative project."

"Looking to the future, we are planning to upgrade our edge network to Arista7500 switches to allow us to benefit from more cost-effective connectivity and the advantage of having a single operating system across our architecture which makes management tasks easier and more efficient.”

"The HOPUS concept has proven it can work in a number of European cities and we are now looking to expand to new locations – a journey that we will make together with Arista."

“Overall, this has been a very successful project, and it highlights UKSH in a very positive light for new researchers who want to work in our campus, knowing that the IT environment is able to serve their needs – both now – and into the future,”

"Arista is one of the only companies that understands the role of the network in high performance data centers, Big Data, server virtualization and cloud computing. Simply stated, Arista is delivering leading performance and software functionality to drive its industry and customers forward."

“We had previously built and maintained very specialist servers linked to atomic clocks that serve NTP requests for time data. This method worked well, but the new NTS standard uses more computational resources for encryption processes. This reduced the number of requests we could serve from our existing clusters and made it difficult to scale up.”

“We are happy with our decision to purchase Arista Networks and believe that that the changes they brought are welcomed by both our customers and staff alike. WiFi has become an expectation from passengers, and we wanted to get ahead of the game by putting in a reliable and safe guest network for the benefit of all our customers.”

"SDN is an important initiative that can benefit our customers by allowing the intelligence derived from our monitoring systems to be leveraged for a higher level of control when managing network behavior and performance. With this new announcement, Arista continues to make significant advancements in delivering on the promise of SDN and we look forward to working with the Arista team to exploit these new capabilities for the benefit of our mutual customers."

“Proper cloud WiFi based solutions were few and far between. We discounted a lot of them because of the cost vs. benefit. As far as I could tell, when you compared Arista Networks to other big names on the market, it was ahead of the competition in terms of its cloud platform, speed and pricing structure. It was quite an easy decision. With Arista CloudVision, we no longer have to invest in controllers or servers, and we can manage the entire system remotely from anywhere using a laptop.This is a significant benefit to us because it eliminates the need to travel across the UK to each of our 45 sites."

“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.”

"The critical requirements for the network in the data center have been changing - Intel's Nehalem processor, Solid-State Storage, mobile Virtual Machines, and the ever increasing demands for space, power, and cooling have stressed the data center past a breaking point. The Gigabit Ethernet network of yester-year is waning in capability to support this new IT Infrastructure and with 10GbE coming built into servers, and a near-term future of 40Gb and 100Gb Ethernet it is time for the networking industry to take the same order of magnitude performance steps forward that the server and storage market have. The Arista 7500 modular switching platform is the first of its kind built to support this next-generation of networking requirements where high-density 10GbE is the default connectivity, Ethernet is lossless, power efficiency is critical, and space is at a premium."

“We use different vendors to build our networks and focus on ease of scaling the network, taking into account further business growth. When choosing a product, we evaluate the life cycle of this product for us, the minimum life cycle for a hardware platform is 4 years and above, for particular technology - 5 years and above.”

Although carrying out a data centre migration during the pandemic was, at times, challenging, the end result could not have come at a better time with the university adopting more interactive and digital learning methods, The data centre is at the heart of so many things we need to do to deliver the next generation of educational tools and the success of this project is part of the commitment we hold to our students to make sure that IT is there to help them succeed.”
