“Over the last three years we’ve seen the number of student devices triple. They’re each bringing three to four devices onto campus, which created a problem on the old network. Arista allows us to put more people onto one access point and not have students dropping off. Arista’s dashboard makes …

"For us the future is a fully 100Gbps architecture, so our plan is to bring the next generation of Arista kit back into our labs and put it through its paces – and we know that behind us we have the Arista engineers and support team that are simply awesome!"

"The decision to go with Arista also gave us an opportunity to revaluate our architecture and start to take advantage of extensibility features within the platform such as buffer monitoring, that offer us more visibility over traffic flow, and to take proactive capacity planning measures to avoid any future issues.”

“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 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 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.”

"We are effectively running the Arista switches as the core networking switches and so far we have had no issues around the latency or reliability. The cost per port is around a quarter of what anybody else could match, even with educational discounts, and we are using only 26 of …

"We looked at a number of options and only Arista’s implementation of universal spine plus FlexRoute offers us the performance benefits of deploying a traditional routing platform with cost savings and flexibility of a switching architecture. In terms of performance and reliability, the Arista solution has been faultless and integrated …

“I really took a risk moving off the incumbent vendor, but it has more than paid off. The network is so stable I haven’t had to touch the network much in 3 years.”

"The Switch SuperNAP is the highest power density data center in the world, we partner with Arista to deliver high density networking solutions with many of our joint customers who are using Arista switching and the Super NAP's power efficiency/density to run some of the largest Hadoop clusters, largest concurrent …

“The use of Arista has proven a good choice for LepidaSpA, We have the possibility to move to low cost 100Gbe uplinks and the switches have reduced packet loss, with low latency while maintaining a great deal of scalability. With the new upgraded infrastructure, we can now offer to our …

“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 Lepida itself and our wholesale customer, between different …
