“We are happy with our decision to purchase Arista Networks and believe that that the changes they brought are welcomed by both our customers and staff alike. WiFi has become an expectation from passengers, and we wanted to get ahead of the game by putting in a reliable and safe …

“We instead made the decision to build all of the core platforms and infrastructure ourselves, Many of the systems were completely unique and we were keen to ensure that performance and reliability were absolutely part of what made our platform stand out from the crowd, so we made technology investment …

“The architecture is designed to cope well with unanticipated issues and we have worked with a fantastically responsive team at Arista to do things which would normally be incredibly challenging with monolithic network operating system architecture - and crucially, while delivering the highest levels of performance and availability for the …

“We are doing some quite interesting and technical challenging things with the Arista switches and when we needed to speak to an Arista tech support, we would actually get an expert, not just somebody reading from a script – that was phenomenal.”

"We felt the support of Arista from the very beginning, their engineering team, their partners, they’ve been with us in the different phases of the project. The support from Arista’s team was outstanding."

“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 …

"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.”

“The customers we spoke to were all extremely positive about the deal, especially several in the electronic trading sector that had already deployed Arista solutions within their core networks due to their low latency and non-blocking performance.”

"The network is critical to maintaining the services our customers depend on. With Arista EOS and the Arista 7300 platform, we will be able to automate and program our network, ensuring high availability and uptime while also reducing our operational costs."

“We have the Arista platforms running operationally now for nearly five years and the performance along with the integration into our SDN architecture is phenomenal, but what is just as important is our relationship with the Arista team – this goes beyond just support, by providing us access to some …

“During this project, we have developed a good relationship with the Arista team, The technical support has been fantastic and when we have wanted to do things in a slightly unconventional way, they have always found a way to help us. For us, Arista is a strategic partner for our …

“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."

“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.”

"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.”

"The HOPUS concept has proven it can work in a number of European cities and we are now looking to expand to new locations – a journey that we will make together with Arista."
