“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 …

“I still remember the case where we were affected by the software bug related to the BGP process and spent almost 8 months before the vendor could shine a light on a root cause. Arista are different – they do things very fast and professionally and they are ready to …

"As leaders in Open SDN, and going back to its genesis at the Clean Slate Lab over five years ago, Big Switch is very happy to see leading vendors like Arista embracing OpenFlow and open standards."

“For us, services availability is our number one priority. Our customers rely on us to deliver telephony and application accessibility so any outage can damage their business and our hard earned reputation – so the new solution needed to be absolutely reliable and able to grow in line with our …

“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,”

“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 …

"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."

“The advantage of the solution offered by Arista is a combination of MLAG functionality with very low packet latency, which is a very important feature when it comes to distributed calculations.”

“The implemented Arista network solution in Świerk Computing Centre has uplink connections bandwidth of 320Gbps and extremely low port-to-port latency of less than 1us. This allows us to fully utilize installed computing devices within the HPC cluster.”

“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.”

"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.”

"The Arista 7500 switch should accelerate the adoption of 10Gb Ethernet as the interconnect of choice for high performance servers and storage in cloud computing, virtualization and mission-critical data center applications. In particular, I expect to see even faster growth of high density Ethernet clusters as the replacement technology for …

"Arista’s 7500 switching platform removes a number of barriers to wide-scale 10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption in performance sensitive markets like financial services, cloud computing and high performance computing. In capital markets in particular, this product strikes to the heart of all the major IT initiatives underway – lower capital expenditures, …

"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."
