"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.”

“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 …

“The Arista EOS is absolutely critical as it allows us to embed our custom software in each switch to detect and block issues like denial of service attacks and other threats in the most efficient manner.”

“This is the largest and most significant project we have undertaken within Virgin Media O2 that will radically impact how we manage the network over the next decade, Our selection of Arista as the core network technology has been carefully considered and extensively tested. To date, the results have either …

"All students should be able to access the network without any problems. We also hope to provide a system that will enable online viewing for students who were unable to attend classes for various reasons or wishing to review their classes."

"Working with Arista's EOS™ network telemetry architecture our Riverbed® Cascade® Shark and Riverbed® OPNET AppResponse Xpert™ application-aware network performance management solutions provide critical insight into the real-time and historical performance of virtual and physical workloads. With our combined technologies, Riverbed and Arista provide IT operations with actionable insight into the …

“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.”

"The critical requirements for the network in the data center have been changing - Intel's Nehalem processor, Solid-State Storage, mobile Virtual Machines, and the ever increasing demands for space, power, and cooling have stressed the data center past a breaking point. The Gigabit Ethernet network of yester-year is waning in …

“We already have a lot of experience with Arista as it has been part of our internet exchange offering for around five years, so we were very familiar with Arista’s capabilities including reliability, quality and execution.”

"We effectively process more transactions than the London Stock Exchanges combined and our development teams are continually working on a variety of projects that require our infrastructure to deliver both high performance and the ability to rapidly scale.”

“It became clear that only two vendors had the 100G density and performance that we required for a project of this scale, However, the key advantages that prompted us to select Arista were its superior performance, deep integration with our chosen Nevion SDN architecture and the Arista professional services team …

"Our technical guys were particularly impressed by the ease of management of Arista and during operation it has allowed us to make major changes that would typically take weeks in just a few days.”

"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 …

"The Arista 7500 switch should accelerate the adoption of 10Gb Ethernet as the interconnect of choice for high performance servers and storage in cloud computing, virtualization and mission-critical data center applications. In particular, I expect to see even faster growth of high density Ethernet clusters as the replacement technology for …
