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

“We are building 11 new data centers worldwide in 12 months, We utilize the power of standardization to build a stronger network which enables our production and supply chain to bring the products to our customer faster and trouble-free.”

“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 …

Although carrying out a data centre migration during the pandemic was, at times, challenging, the end result could not have come at a better time with the university adopting more interactive and digital learning methods, The data centre is at the heart of so many things we need to do …

“Utilizing one OS on all our networking platforms makes patching, supporting, and training easy. This solidly reinforces the strategy we desire for our global networking vision.”

"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 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 …

"NEC's customers are experiencing increasing demands on data center networks because of new applications and ever-changing business requirements. Arista's announcement and its commitment to open APIs, including OpenFlow, combined with NEC's ProgrammableFlow(r) controllers, deliver greater levels of network automation, while driving down operational costs and time to provision of new …

“IG is a rapidly moving business using modern software development methodologies, however, the legacy infrastructure was becoming the obstacle. The test of a successful infrastructure is that it should be invisible to everyone. With the legacy architecture this was not the case; there were numerous service disruptions and any changes …

“Arista was a big part of that success by being able to ensure that the right technology, products, support and partners were in place across the entire project to help us meet our tight deadlines.”

“Along with reliability concerns, the Avaya switches used a proprietary software defined network technology, This gave us very little scope to implement the automation we desired – so we decided to upgrade the network to a more modern and open platform.”

“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 …

"Broadcom, a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, is pleased to work with Arista to deliver the Arista 7500, a platform that delivers a perfect combination of high performance, dense 10GbE, low latency, and feature richness built specifically for mission critical data center applications."

“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.”

“We also liked the fact that the Arista EOS is the same across all the switches, it’s easy to operate and low maintenance. Another benefit was the centralised orchestration capability which was very powerful.”
