188 Arista Networks Testimonials

"The data center is undergoing unprecedented change. First we consolidated servers and storage into fewer and larger data centers for the simple economies of scale and operation. With the growing dominance of the X86 architecture, virtualization enabled a second tier of consolidation with CapEx, OpEx and operational quality benefits, and in turn accelerated the use of new operational and organizational models (utility computing, service oriented IT). This rapid evolution is continuing, fueled by the remarkable progress in multi-core CPU’s and storage technologies. Data center networking is hardly immune to any of this and must evolve in performance, cost performance and even architecture in order not to be the Achilles Heel of all of this. This is a perfect time for a well-funded team of experienced networking leaders to disrupt this market with innovation."

"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."

"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."

“We use different vendors to build our networks and focus on ease of scaling the network, taking into account further business growth. When choosing a product, we evaluate the life cycle of this product for us, the minimum life cycle for a hardware platform is 4 years and above, for particular technology - 5 years and above.”

“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.”

“Sweet.tv faced the difficult task of quickly and efficiently upgrading its network to support and improve the quality of service provided to subscribers, whose numbers are rapidly growing.”

“That changed last year when Avid began certifying additional network vendors, This gave us the opportunity to create a broader public tender and consider other options for the upgraded network layer needed to deliver this project”

“We looked at and tested several options and we were very impressed with the Arista proposal, Arista met and often exceeded all the requirements stated within the technical specification. The design underpins each virtualized cluster with a simple but effective spine and leaf topology, capable of delivering all the throughput required by the application.”

“Arista has been supportive during this project, and we look forward to working with the team as we transition more of our production infrastructure towards virtualization and embrace the benefits of private cloud.”

“Rai is a public service media company focused on the adoption of open standards. Thanks to the introduction of Arista technology, we have been able to complete the new virtualized architecture which has been successfully integrated with what already existed in our production infrastructure. We are steadily moving towards a full IP environment.”

“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 analytics the Arista solution offers plays a key role in our ability to provide all our users with great quality of service. Our students are happier, and we are now in the position to offer more WiFi based services than ever before. This new management platform brings great value to our organization, and is exactly what we were looking for. We made a strategic choice to implement a cloud-based management platform that would enable our organization to be agile and evolve with the growing needs of our users.”

"Broadcom, a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, is pleased to work with Arista to deliver the Arista 7500, a platform that delivers a perfect combination of high performance, dense 10GbE, low latency, and feature richness built specifically for mission critical data center applications."

“Along with reliability concerns, the Avaya switches used a proprietary software defined network technology, This gave us very little scope to implement the automation we desired – so we decided to upgrade the network to a more modern and open platform.”

"The Arista team is always open to new ideas and exploring new ways of distributing market data and supporting our customers with the latest in financial trading and Ethernet technologies. Working together, we will create a completely new class and category of product for the financial industry."
