“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 …

"We selected Arista for its known performance and robustness. Being a proven technology in combination with the fact that it runs Linux provides us the flexibility we need in a switch platform supporting a fast changing technology such as OpenStack.”

“We weren’t just looking for a piece of hardware, we were looking for a partner. The impact of this project will affect not just us but research projects around the world and we were embarking on a bit of a journey of discovery.”

"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 …

"With its sub-500 nanosecond latency and LANZ functionality, the Arista 7124SX changes the game for high frequency trading customers! Combined with Seanet's latency measurement solutions, Arista's unique LANZ functionality allows customers to build a closed loop monitoring system that will enable them to detect latency both at the smallest microburst …

“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.”
