"Arista's SDN innovations further enable solutions like ExtraHop to easily integrate within OpenFlow and OpenStack environments. As the only vendor in IT operational intelligence that can transform SDN wire data into correlated cross-tier visibility, ExtraHop is excited about this new release. SDN traffic can now be provisioned rapidly from Arista's …

“In order to have the maximum scalability we selected to use a L3 mesh backbone between switch and transport traffic using VXLAN encapsulation, This particular configuration offers the required flexibility and simple provisioning operation in order to provide effective network transport, for Fixed Mobile itself and our wholesale customers.”

“Arista has exceeded our expectations, Generally, the kit just works straight out of the box and overall, I think our experience with Arista has been great It’s the kind of tech I would definitely recommend to a friend as it were.”

“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 …

“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 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 …

“The Arista solution is proven and well established within the media and entertainment sector with successful deployments at major broadcasters across Europe. it delivers high performance and scalable capacity while supporting open standards that works well with SDN platforms such as DataMiner.”

“The Arista approach was so flexible, If you consider, we started with just two leafs per datacentre and campus and, two years later, we now have a spine and 6 leafs per datacentre. In effect, we expanded our core by three times the capacity in just two years without any …

“It is definitely easier to script something now, before we had to consider like three different types of switch operating systems all from the same vendor - but with different command sets and config commands. But now, it’s way simpler to create something and roll it out in the whole …

“We worked well as a team. We went from proof of concept to migrating nearly 95% of our infrastructure in just a few months without any unplanned outages and only minor issues that were quickly resolved through simple configuration changes."

“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 …

"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."

"Delivering high profile events such as the 2010 Winter Olympics requires maximum uptime, immaculate QoS, and automated provisioning. Having the latest generation 10Gb Ethernet switching from Arista in our Las Vegas and London Broadcast Operations Centers is absolutely critical to our success."

“We weren’t just looking for a piece of hardware, we were looking for a partner. The impact of this project will affect not just us but research projects around the world and we were embarking on a bit of a journey of discovery.”

“We eventually decided upon an Arista based leaf and spine network supported by VMware for application, network and storage virtualisation as together they offered the best combination of performance and reliability within a significantly simpler design. We also worked with a local Arista partner, UCS, to ensure we always had …
