“We were building out 10 to 20 racks a week and hosting customers might have multiple elements such as dedicated servers, firewalls, switches and private clouds within their racks or rooms which needed to be physically connected in close proximity to overcome cabling issues and to improve performance. This meant …

"Overall, this has been a very successful project for us that has removed much of the complexity of our network while building a solid foundation that allows us to keep scaling the network to better serve the business.”

“Arista’s EVPN/VXLAN design is an ‘all-in-one’ solution that effectively addresses the university’s networking requirements. Its implementation, particularly on Arista equipment, has proven to meet all specification points, including offering load balancing mechanisms on backbone links."

“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 …

“The journey is not yet over, As we grow, we need to always focus on sustainability and we believe that as carbon taxes start to become a necessity for industries of all types, we are in the best place to not only serve our customers but also do our part …

"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 …

“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.”

“In the past, the introduction of new technologies started in the telecommunications market before expanding out into other markets, but I think modern GPU and AI networks are now driving more and more technological innovations. I look forward to exchanging information and working closely with Arista Networks in the future …

“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 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.”

"At Headlands Technologies network efficiencies are critical to our business. The wire speed NAT (Network Address Translation) capabilities on the 7150S shave off 100s of microseconds of forwarding delay, while the reduction in latency on the 52 port switch allows for increased density which is also very important to us."

"At Joyent, we're working to make the entire data center into a unified, fully programmable computing platform. Our cloud computing technology allows thousands of companies to meet the needs of modern high-scale applications, including instantly managing variable load, scaling resources on demand, and re-architecting in real time. We're proud to …

"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.”

"Accelerating today's data centers requires joint efforts at the storage, network, and software layers. Arista’s impressive Arista 7500 10GbE switching platform is well positioned to take full advantage of the application performance made possible by servers using Fusion’s new tier of flash-based memory. We are looking forward to working together …

"As data centers continue to evolve in tandem with software defined solutions, we are pleased to work with Arista to help customers maximize performance with minimal hardware. The flexibility of the Arista 7150 series allows IT professionals to design scalable, software defined systems without the performance limitations and costs associated …
