"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.”

“We looked at almost every vendor you can think of and tested performance, expandability, features and, of course, looked at the future roadmap. Based on months of testing and evaluation, it was clear to us that Arista offered the best fit for our needs and a path to grow in …

“The Arista team has been with us across the entire project and helped us to deliver a successful upgrade,” says Ripepi, “The new network will better support our researchers and scientists to continue their pioneering work and improve collaboration with colleagues across the world."

“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.”

“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.”

"With its sub-500 nanosecond latency and LANZ functionality, the Arista 7124SX changes the game for high frequency trading customers! Combined with Seanet's latency measurement solutions, Arista's unique LANZ functionality allows customers to build a closed loop monitoring system that will enable them to detect latency both at the smallest microburst …

"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."

“Sweet.tv faced the difficult task of quickly and efficiently upgrading its network to support and improve the quality of service provided to subscribers, whose numbers are rapidly growing.”

"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.”

"In fact, given Arista's impressive layer 3 routing capabilities, I can't see anything being more significant in the 10 GbE switching space right now."

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

“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 …

"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.”
