“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 …

“We are continually evaluating new technologies and potential vendors and we had read good reports about Arista in this space, We also spoke to contacts within the Italian and international community that had successfully deployed Arista. Following these discussions we decided to include Arista in a PoC as Arista’s technology …

"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 …

“We are doing some quite interesting and technical challenging things with the Arista switches and when we needed to speak to an Arista tech support, we would actually get an expert, not just somebody reading from a script – that was phenomenal.”

“The Arista switches will allow us to work smarter not harder, and staff and students will certainly notice and benefit from the performance hike delivered by the upgrade.”

"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."

“Everything is driving towards the cloud. Even when customers buy our software off the shelf, the data is uploaded and can be accessed from their phone, tablet, etc.”

"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."

“Our need for network devices that could process 400 Gbps of traffic at a wire rate limited our options to the major vendors. Arista Networks offered not only a high level of cost performance but also gave us the ability to use a transceiver supporting fiber optic transmission multiplexing. This …

"As leaders in Open SDN, and going back to its genesis at the Clean Slate Lab over five years ago, Big Switch is very happy to see leading vendors like Arista embracing OpenFlow and open standards."

"The network is critical to maintaining the services our customers depend on. With Arista EOS and the Arista 7300 platform, we will be able to automate and program our network, ensuring high availability and uptime while also reducing our operational costs."

“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.”

"For the cost, density and performance we were looking for, we could find no other solution that got close to the level of the Arista switches. The move to Arista has led to a 6 to 8 times increase in throughput with a latency reduction."

"We ran virtualised instances of the switches to speed up the development process. We could also take it on a laptop to show customers – EOS offered a full API which allows us to build a lot of features into our software stack that ultimately reduce the number of people …
