“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 …

"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."

“We had already upgraded our old Medialaan studios in Vilvoorde to a hybrid IP and SDI infrastructure to support SMPTE 2110, but the new facility at Mediaplein was effectively a blank slate which allowed us the luxury of being able to specify exactly what we wanted for our IP connectivity …

"The ability of IT and data center managers to effectively adopt and deploy 10Gb Ethernet has been hindered until recently by the lack of high-density, high-performance modular switches and high-performance 10GbE server adapters. Solarflare has addressed the need for high-performance 10 GbE adapters with the introduction last month of our …

"We are thrilled with Arista's new 7124SX switch and the ground-breaking Latency Analyzer (LANZ) feature. When combined with Solarflare's OpenOnload application acceleration middleware, the platform delivers record low application latency and jitter, which in turn results in a unique, compelling, and measurable business advantage. In addition, the improvements in form …

“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 …

“We turned to technologies that can be scaled easily and provide high reliability and survival time, taking into account the service scope and requirements. In addition to the needs of existing systems, services and users, we also considered the rapidly increasing data center demand and traffic volumes.”

“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.”

"StumbleUpon has been experiencing sustained traffic growth typical of large social networks and Arista was able to provide the most efficient and scalable datacenter networking platform. The low power consumption and high density of Arista's switches is unmatched by the competition."

"When deploying a cloud infrastructure in the data center, network performance, power efficiency, low latency and scalability are all key considerations. The architecture of the Arista 7500 is ideally suited for cloud computing and a great match for Dell’s PowerEdge server and EqualLogic iSCSI storage solutions where an uncompromised cloud …

“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.”

"What Arista gives us is the software solution that allows us to build a living and breathing network and where it grows from this point onwards is in our own hands.”

“Our Visual Effects and Post-Production Studio needed to connect a new central data storage offering an overall connectivity improvement for each department. Studio work with data is quite specific compared to conventional network traffic demands. We are working with a huge amount of data, which must be available to the …

"On functionality, feature set and price, Arista Networks 7000 Series switches had everything we needed."
