188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“Some of our new digital services demand more throughput from the network and our existing switches were also reaching end-of-life, so it made sense to think about redesigning our network from the ground up.”

“In Ireland, we’ve been the first to adopt technology in the OB sector. We were first into HD, first into 3D, first into 4K UHD and now – with the help of Arista – first into IP. When customers call us asking for IP, we won’t be excluded from opportunities. At the end of the day, we’re a technology company, we’re forward thinking, and that’s why we continue to be a market leader."

“The three keywords of the project were modular, scalable, and flexible – and the last part, flexibility, is something that is really now translating into remote production as well.”

“I still remember the case where we were affected by the software bug related to the BGP process and spent almost 8 months before the vendor could shine a light on a root cause. Arista are different – they do things very fast and professionally and they are ready to go the extra mile for customer satisfaction.”

"The Arista 7500 is off the charts on packet processing performance, low power consumption and completeness of vision - this new platform establishes the Arista portfolio as one of the strongest in the data center networking space. This announcement will shock the industry as Arista introduces a massively powerful Ethernet switching platform and moves from a product to a portfolio company. It clearly now has the resources to be a viable challenger to incumbents in the switching space."

"Combining Myricom's industry-leading programmable network adapters and versatile software with Arista's innovative switching platform will enable customers to leverage high performance networking for an even broader range of applications."

“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 spent a lot of time physically moving servers around our data centres, resulting in delays in processing customer orders while proving time consuming for our technical teams.”

"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 level inside the switch and higher up in the FIX protocol, then judiciously distribute higher volume ticker symbols to prevent microbursts and minimize latency, resulting in a substantial business advantage."

"Deploying software defined data centers requires the ability to scale both network capacity and security. The Arista 7000 family and Spline architecture is designed to accelerate the network scale at an unparalleled price/performance. When coupled with the Palo Alto Networks next-generation security platform, which is purpose-built to operate in today’s modern networks, customers can protect their new SDN architectures from advanced cyber threats; it’s a combination essential to safely enabling business critical applications."

"Ethernet interfaces from 10G to 100G provide sufficient bandwidth to transport uncompressed content from SD to UHD but require additional broadcast wrappers to do so. This includes the SMPTE standards, which have recently enabled uncompressed media transport over IP and, thereby, removed the last blocker to an all‐IP platform. While still in their infancy, these new protocols, along with standards like AMWA NMOS, promise to reduce complexity in managing content distribution.”

"Alatum is pleased to work with Arista Networks to deliver cloud computing services. The scalability, reliability and performance of our Alatum cloud services powered by HP and Arista Networks will enable businesses to be more agile, reduce their operating costs significantly and operate more productively."

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

“The Arista switches will allow us to work smarter not harder, and staff and students will certainly notice and benefit from the performance hike delivered by the upgrade.”
