“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 architecture is designed to cope well with unanticipated issues and we have worked with a fantastically responsive team at Arista to do things which would normally be incredibly challenging with monolithic network operating system architecture - and crucially, while delivering the highest levels of performance and availability for the …

“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 …

"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 …

"To maintain the cutting edge R&D computing capabilities our scientists need to fulfill their national security missions, we look for the cost-effective technology solutions that best suit our unique computing environment. We selected the Arista switches because they provide the low latency, high density and reliability attributes our cluster, storage …

“Arista’s EVPN/VXLAN design is an ‘all-in-one’ solution that effectively addresses the university’s networking requirements. Its implementation, particularly on Arista equipment, has proven to meet all specification points, including offering load balancing mechanisms on backbone links."
