“As an industry first, there was a bit of a learning curve, but we had no issues with the Arista switch. One of the things we were concerned about was unlike a data center where a switch is always on, we have to deploy on a new site for every …

“We have the Arista platforms running operationally now for nearly five years and the performance along with the integration into our SDN architecture is phenomenal, but what is just as important is our relationship with the Arista team – this goes beyond just support, by providing us access to some …

“The Arista team has been with us across the entire project and helped us to deliver a successful upgrade,” says Ripepi, “The new network will better support our researchers and scientists to continue their pioneering work and improve collaboration with colleagues across the world."

"We are effectively running the Arista switches as the core networking switches and so far we have had no issues around the latency or reliability. The cost per port is around a quarter of what anybody else could match, even with educational discounts, and we are using only 26 of …

“We are continually evaluating new technologies and potential vendors and we had read good reports about Arista in this space, We also spoke to contacts within the Italian and international community that had successfully deployed Arista. Following these discussions we decided to include Arista in a PoC as Arista’s technology …

"I’m excited by Arista’s 7500 chassis because it makes very large Enterprise Data Cloud deployments much simpler. It extends the incremental ‘top of rack’ approach with a 384 wire-speed ports aggregation switch, enabling a flat 10 gig network for tens of thousands of compute and storage nodes."

“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 …

"We’ve been extremely successful in our partnership with Arista Networks. Arista is a great complement to our ISP, providing us with the ability to package the best technology and wireless network solution for our business customers. In addition, Arista’s reporting and interface ensures EPB can continue to provide the exceptional …

“We’ve been very happy with Arista, and our customers are thrilled with the results they are seeing. Our HostedWiFi customers are receiving above and beyond what they were initially asking for.”

"BitGravity's vision was to build a highly scalable platform and redefine the user experience in content delivery. We are deploying 3 Terabits of non-blocking switch capacity in our CDN and evaluated everyone and were impressed with the Arista 7100's reliability, robustness, and extensibility.We are deploying Arista switches in our global …

"The Arista switches, with their leading port density, low power and robust software allowed us to meet the high standards that our customers demand from our social networking service."

“Improving the reliability of our network is always a key issue for us. In addition to ensuring redundancy of the networking equipment, we also have a robust framework in place for operation and maintenance.”

"At present, we are only utilizing the L2 functions. In the future, we are eager to better utilize the Arista switches’ characteristic functions such as automatic software installation and ‘MLAG’, which achieves link aggregation between different chassis.”

“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 …

“The Arista approach was so flexible, If you consider, we started with just two leafs per datacentre and campus and, two years later, we now have a spine and 6 leafs per datacentre. In effect, we expanded our core by three times the capacity in just two years without any …
