188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“We had three main goals, Firstly we needed increased bandwidth to support the sheer volume of content we have moving across our network, next we needed to ensure reliability with the ability to grow as needed. And finally, we were keen to build automation into the network management side to allow us to better adapt to future requirements.”

“We entered a market already dominated by established players, who also offer wholesale connectivity. Our aim was to provide ISP customers with superior products offering the fastest available broadband.”

"10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption is gaining momentum as new servers and CPUs deliver greater compute capabilities and drive the need for more bandwidth. The Arista 7500 delivers high-performance, high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching, enabling significant improvements to mid-size and larger server deployments. Coupling iWARP support in Intel® Ethernet 10 Gigabit Server Adapters along with low-latency switching in the Arista 7500, enables Ethernet to deliver a high-performance, cost-effective HPC solution as an alternative to InfiniBand. This was recently demonstrated on a 500-node supercomputer developed for biomedical research – delivering Top 200 performance (35.8 TeraFLOPs) and Top 100 efficiency (84%) on the Top 500 Linpack benchmark1."

“The three keywords of the project were modular, scalable, and flexible – and the last part, flexibility, is something that is really now translating into remote production as well.”

“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 for us.”

“We eventually decided upon an Arista based leaf and spine network supported by VMware for application, network and storage virtualisation as together they offered the best combination of performance and reliability within a significantly simpler design. We also worked with a local Arista partner, UCS, to ensure we always had support on hand here in Romania. It was evident from speaking with all vendors that there was a clear roadmap for each technology that aligned with our own future direction.”

“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 particular technology - 5 years and above.”

"SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud delivers the massive power of HANA with the elegant simplicity of the cloud. This gives our customers the choice and flexibility of a different deployment model, without compromise. The network is a critical element in HANA Enterprise Cloud and Arista’s 10/40/100GB networking portfolio, including the 7300, are a perfect match for our requirements. Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS™) exceptional API support as well as its open Linux operating system enables SAP to run core Linux components on an Arista switch such as DHCP, LDAP and other open source Linux applications. We are proud to be working with Arista."

“I really took a risk moving off the incumbent vendor, but it has more than paid off. The network is so stable I haven’t had to touch the network much in 3 years.”

“In Ireland, we’ve been the first to adopt technology in the OB sector. We were first into HD, first into 3D, first into 4K UHD and now – with the help of Arista – first into IP. When customers call us asking for IP, we won’t be excluded from opportunities. At the end of the day, we’re a technology company, we’re forward thinking, and that’s why we continue to be a market leader."

"The Arista solution completely changed our WiFi experience. Our customers anticipate a great experience when they visit us. Arista exceeds their WiFi expectations, delivering fast, reliable, and consistent WiFi.”

“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 business.”

"With data transaction volumes regularly exceeding that of Twitter, Flurry looked to Arista Networks’ switching solutions to significantly and cost-effectively increase performance and reduce latency of our network. As we plan to add hundreds of servers over the next two quarters, the addition of Arista’s 10 gigabit switches offers an unbeatable ROI, and positions Flurry for unparalleled performance."

“Biodesign C is dedicated to pure science and research, The centers inside are internet-facing research, which means that the network plays a pivotal role in keeping connected.”

“Being able to achieve 400 Gb network speeds in Biodesign C was a major milestone for our team, We think of our work as instrumental in powering the foundation of innovation that places ASU at the forefront of research, discovery and impact.”
