188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“The architecture is designed to cope well with unanticipated issues and we have worked with a fantastically responsive team at Arista to do things which would normally be incredibly challenging with monolithic network operating system architecture - and crucially, while delivering the highest levels of performance and availability for the network.”

“We are happy with our decision to purchase Arista Networks and believe that that the changes they brought are welcomed by both our customers and staff alike. WiFi has become an expectation from passengers, and we wanted to get ahead of the game by putting in a reliable and safe guest network for the benefit of all our customers.”

“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.”

“We looked at a number of possible solutions and Arista offered us the only completely lossless architecture which delivered the best performance, lowest latency with deep support for multicast which is vital for this project.”

"Working with a multitude of new tapeless digital video formats means moving, copying and processing terra bytes of data on a daily basis. Successfully implementing 10GbE from Arista within the BBC Bristol Production Village provides the necessary foundation to deliver efficiency savings and cutting edge performance enabling BBC Bristol to meet it's broadcasting commitments."

"Looking to the future, we are planning to upgrade our edge network to Arista7500 switches to allow us to benefit from more cost-effective connectivity and the advantage of having a single operating system across our architecture which makes management tasks easier and more efficient.”

"The HOPUS concept has proven it can work in a number of European cities and we are now looking to expand to new locations – a journey that we will make together with Arista."

"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."

“Improving the reliability of our network is always a key issue for us. In addition to ensuring redundancy of the networking equipment, we also have a robust framework in place for operation and maintenance.”

"At present, we are only utilizing the L2 functions. In the future, we are eager to better utilize the Arista switches’ characteristic functions such as automatic software installation and ‘MLAG’, which achieves link aggregation between different chassis.”

"Deploying software defined data centers requires the ability to scale both network capacity and security. The Arista 7000 family and Spline architecture is designed to accelerate the network scale at an unparalleled price/performance. When coupled with the Palo Alto Networks next-generation security platform, which is purpose-built to operate in today’s modern networks, customers can protect their new SDN architectures from advanced cyber threats; it’s a combination essential to safely enabling business critical applications."

“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.”

"As a leader in performance and service delivery management for cloud computing data centers, and the first performance management company to join the SDN movement earlier this year, NetScout Systems is working with Arista Networks to address the challenges of virtualized cloud computing. Arista's new SDN features complement NetScout's packet flow technology and promise to deliver enhanced visibility and control needed to make cloud-scale computing successful."

"The data center is undergoing unprecedented change. First we consolidated servers and storage into fewer and larger data centers for the simple economies of scale and operation. With the growing dominance of the X86 architecture, virtualization enabled a second tier of consolidation with CapEx, OpEx and operational quality benefits, and in turn accelerated the use of new operational and organizational models (utility computing, service oriented IT). This rapid evolution is continuing, fueled by the remarkable progress in multi-core CPU’s and storage technologies. Data center networking is hardly immune to any of this and must evolve in performance, cost performance and even architecture in order not to be the Achilles Heel of all of this. This is a perfect time for a well-funded team of experienced networking leaders to disrupt this market with innovation."

“We instead made the decision to build all of the core platforms and infrastructure ourselves, Many of the systems were completely unique and we were keen to ensure that performance and reliability were absolutely part of what made our platform stand out from the crowd, so we made technology investment a major priority.”
