188 Arista Networks Testimonials

"NEC's customers are experiencing increasing demands on data center networks because of new applications and ever-changing business requirements. Arista's announcement and its commitment to open APIs, including OpenFlow, combined with NEC's ProgrammableFlow(r) controllers, deliver greater levels of network automation, while driving down operational costs and time to provision of new applications and services."

"On functionality, feature set and price, Arista Networks 7000 Series switches had everything we needed."

“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.”

"10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption is gaining momentum as new servers and CPUs deliver greater compute capabilities and drive the need for more bandwidth. The Arista 7500 delivers high-performance, high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching, enabling significant improvements to mid-size and larger server deployments. Coupling iWARP support in Intel® Ethernet 10 Gigabit Server Adapters along with low-latency switching in the Arista 7500, enables Ethernet to deliver a high-performance, cost-effective HPC solution as an alternative to InfiniBand. This was recently demonstrated on a 500-node supercomputer developed for biomedical research – delivering Top 200 performance (35.8 TeraFLOPs) and Top 100 efficiency (84%) on the Top 500 Linpack benchmark1."

"We are excited to collaborate with Arista on the 7150 Series, designed with the Intel® Ethernet Switch FM6000 for flexible forwarding. Together with Programmable Arista EOS, new SDN functionality can be achieved with a common platform. Such versatility is a breakthrough innovation in the industry and a testament to the world-class design achieved by Arista and Intel working together."

"In high-performance computing, low-latency performance is key to achieving optimal and efficient results. Ethernet is capable of delivering performance on par with InfiniBand when it comes to clustering applications. In fact, Intel and Arista Networks recently demonstrated a high performance, low latency cluster using Schlumberger’s ECLIPSE reservoir simulation software with Intel’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet iWARP adapter and Arista’s 7124S switch. We are excited about the improved performance in the new Arista 7124SX switch and the sub-500ns port-to-port latency that can deliver better application performance for our customers."

"We as a VMWare Enterprise partner, face the limitations of 1GbE daily in our storage and server virtualization projects. 10 GbE from Arista gives us countless benefits and puts us steps ahead of the competition."

“Everything is driving towards the cloud. Even when customers buy our software off the shelf, the data is uploaded and can be accessed from their phone, tablet, etc.”

“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 that provided expertise across the scope of the project.”

“Utilizing one OS on all our networking platforms makes patching, supporting, and training easy. This solidly reinforces the strategy we desire for our global networking vision.”

“We are building 11 new data centers worldwide in 12 months, We utilize the power of standardization to build a stronger network which enables our production and supply chain to bring the products to our customer faster and trouble-free.”

“Our legacy network architecture could not guarantee us the reliability and throughput we needed, In an environment where you are potentially pushing tens of petabytes across the network each day, delays result in loss of productivity and our workloads are growing by double digits each quarter.”

"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.”

"When deploying a cloud infrastructure in the data center, network performance, power efficiency, low latency and scalability are all key considerations. The architecture of the Arista 7500 is ideally suited for cloud computing and a great match for Dell’s PowerEdge server and EqualLogic iSCSI storage solutions where an uncompromised cloud network is critical for delivering the optimal customer experience."

“As an industry first, there was a bit of a learning curve, but we had no issues with the Arista switch. One of the things we were concerned about was unlike a data center where a switch is always on, we have to deploy on a new site for every job and switching equipment on and off needs to be predictable and have reasonably quick startup - in this respect, the Arista switch is up and running in under 8 minutes which is faster than some of the other elements within the truck.”
