"Arista's SDN innovations further enable solutions like ExtraHop to easily integrate within OpenFlow and OpenStack environments. As the only vendor in IT operational intelligence that can transform SDN wire data into correlated cross-tier visibility, ExtraHop is excited about this new release. SDN traffic can now be provisioned rapidly from Arista's …

“Rai is a public service media company focused on the adoption of open standards. Thanks to the introduction of Arista technology, we have been able to complete the new virtualized architecture which has been successfully integrated with what already existed in our production infrastructure. We are steadily moving towards a …

“Some of our new digital services demand more throughput from the network and our existing switches were also reaching end-of-life, so it made sense to think about redesigning our network from the ground up.”

“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 …

“Our network was starting to reach its limits of scalability – and was not well suited to a more virtualised environment as it lacked native support for VXLAN. and we know that as things get more difficult to manage, the risk of failure rises – and this is not acceptable …

“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 …

“It is definitely easier to script something now, before we had to consider like three different types of switch operating systems all from the same vendor - but with different command sets and config commands. But now, it’s way simpler to create something and roll it out in the whole …

“The analytics the Arista solution offers plays a key role in our ability to provide all our users with great quality of service. Our students are happier, and we are now in the position to offer more WiFi based services than ever before. This new management platform brings great value …

"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 …

"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."

"For the cost, density and performance we were looking for, we could find no other solution that got close to the level of the Arista switches. The move to Arista has led to a 6 to 8 times increase in throughput with a latency reduction."

"At Headlands Technologies network efficiencies are critical to our business. The wire speed NAT (Network Address Translation) capabilities on the 7150S shave off 100s of microseconds of forwarding delay, while the reduction in latency on the 52 port switch allows for increased density which is also very important to us."

"For us the future is a fully 100Gbps architecture, so our plan is to bring the next generation of Arista kit back into our labs and put it through its paces – and we know that behind us we have the Arista engineers and support team that are simply awesome!"

"Ethernet interfaces from 10G to 100G provide sufficient bandwidth to transport uncompressed content from SD to UHD but require additional broadcast wrappers to do so. This includes the SMPTE standards, which have recently enabled uncompressed media transport over IP and, thereby, removed the last blocker to an all‐IP platform. While …

“Our legacy network architecture could not guarantee us the reliability and throughput we needed, In an environment where you are potentially pushing tens of petabytes across the network each day, delays result in loss of productivity and our workloads are growing by double digits each quarter.”
