“As a research and development hub, OIST would be unable to accomplish anything without a fully operational network. The network backbone is mission critical infrastructure for OIST, a shutdown would impair every research facility on our campus. The two-layer ring topology constructed using network equipment from different manufacturers ensures a design that prevents a total functional shutdown in the event one ring fails. Another benefit that we emphasized in our evaluations was a low operational and management burden.”
“I’ve been building networks at AWE for 27 years. This project has been really exciting as it’s the first time we’ve set up a whole new network from scratch and implemented the latest state of the art equipment. Based on the commitments made to the business 12 months ago, working with Arista has meant we’ve achieved what we set out to do. Our requirements have certainly been met.”
"The high density 40GbE and 100GbE interfaces, deep packet buffers, SDN features and the robustness of EOS makes the Arista 7500 an ideal spine platform for our network. Arista continues to innovate on programmability with it's Linux based EOS and was a key factor in deciding on the 7500E for our Big Data needs."
“Over the last three years we’ve seen the number of student devices triple. They’re each bringing three to four devices onto campus, which created a problem on the old network. Arista allows us to put more people onto one access point and not have students dropping off. Arista’s dashboard makes my life much easier. I can go into the dashboard and see right away how many users there are, the different types of operating systems, what access points are receiving the most traffic; then I can drill down into the WiFi area even further to take a look at the each individual user.”
“As cyber attacks change in the future, more higher educational institutions are going to become targets. We not only need to keep our students protected, but we also need to keep our faculty’s personal accounts and information secure.”
“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.”
“The implementation has provided us with the flexibility and adaptability we need to meet our users’ evolving demands while ensuring long-term sustainability. This innovative approach paves the way for new services and applications in our research community.”
“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,”
"The Arista team is always open to new ideas and exploring new ways of distributing market data and supporting our customers with the latest in financial trading and Ethernet technologies. Working together, we will create a completely new class and category of product for the financial industry."
"At Voxel we needed a high performance infrastructure to exceed our customer requirements that also had to deliver maximum uptime while tying into our operational workflows for our VoxCloud service. Arista switches improved response times and also allowed us to cost-effectively manage our growth with 10GbE at an unbelievable price."
"Cloudscaling and Arista have partnered to launch numerous enterprise deployments of Open Cloud System. We've developed a shared understanding of the network capabilities customers demand, and the new features in Arista EOS will directly address their needs."
“Arista has exceeded our expectations, Generally, the kit just works straight out of the box and overall, I think our experience with Arista has been great It’s the kind of tech I would definitely recommend to a friend as it were.”
"On functionality, feature set and price, Arista Networks 7000 Series switches had everything we needed."
“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.”
