“Like many other service providers, we are exploring cloud opportunities as this is where the market is heading. Our first step on this path was a major project to transform our existing infrastructure from traditional SDI cables and routers into a system based on TCP/IP networks using mostly commodity IT …

"Customers need visibility across massive, distributed cloud infrastructures as cloud computing and Software Driven Cloud Networking transform data centers. Arista’s SDN enhancements, combined with Splunk® software's ability to analyze, visualize and correlate network traffic data with application and cloud infrastructure data, enables new insight into these environments and their impact …

"Arista’s new SDN feature set provides network architects with unprecedented control in delivering a high-performance distributed data layer on top of their switching fabric."

“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.”

"Arista’s new 7124SX switch reflects a major advancement for financial trading and ultra low latency services. Ultra low latency applications also require enterprise-wide network analysis, visibility, and reporting, which makes NIKSUN and Arista an ideal complement for hyper-scale computing environments."

"On functionality, feature set and price, Arista Networks 7000 Series switches had everything we needed."

"Alatum is pleased to work with Arista Networks to deliver cloud computing services. The scalability, reliability and performance of our Alatum cloud services powered by HP and Arista Networks will enable businesses to be more agile, reduce their operating costs significantly and operate more productively."

“Our Visual Effects and Post-Production Studio needed to connect a new central data storage offering an overall connectivity improvement for each department. Studio work with data is quite specific compared to conventional network traffic demands. We are working with a huge amount of data, which must be available to the …

"We ran virtualised instances of the switches to speed up the development process. We could also take it on a laptop to show customers – EOS offered a full API which allows us to build a lot of features into our software stack that ultimately reduce the number of people …

"We selected Arista's switch because of its unique capabilities related to flexible control and provisioning. We are developing extensions for Arista's EOS that will enable it to be integrated into large scale distributed systems, providing major new capabilities for network services that can quickly adjust to changing traffic requirements."

“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.”

“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 recognised that our legacy network was not well suited to our future plans, especially with our growing partner community and expanded portfolio of services including data backup, replication and hosting services.”

“We have been part of the FRench Network Operators Group (FRnOG) for a number of years and seen presentations and case studies on the success of Arista for use cases similar to ours, and this was the spark that prompted us to bring Arista in as part of a proof …
