188 Arista Networks Testimonials

"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."

"Microsoft is committed to helping customers realize cloud computing benefits through our Cloud OS - a consistent platform spanning private clouds, service provider clouds and Windows Azure. The combination of Arista networking, including the Arista 7000 series switches and Microsoft’s Cloud OS, specifically System Center and Windows Server Hyper-V, delivers on the promise of Software Driven Cloud Networking for our mutual customers – in their datacenters or in hybrid clouds."

“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 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 incredibly knowledgeable people has allowed us to develop new features that have added some unique capabilities to the way we manage our cloud.”

"Arista continues to lead the way in data center network innovations, this is the first real API integration of a broad-based data center network platform and seeing it connect with OpenStack and solve real customer provisioning issues is exactly what this industry has needed to scale cloud computing."

"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.”

“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.”

"For the cost, density and performance we were looking for, we could find no other solution that got close to the level of the Arista switches. The move to Arista has led to a 6 to 8 times increase in throughput with a latency reduction."

“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 future expansion,”

“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."

"At Headlands Technologies network efficiencies are critical to our business. The wire speed NAT (Network Address Translation) capabilities on the 7150S shave off 100s of microseconds of forwarding delay, while the reduction in latency on the 52 port switch allows for increased density which is also very important to us."

“The performance of the Arista switches has exceeded our expectation and as the higher density design has allowed us to reduce our rack space and energy consumption.”

“We looked at almost every vendor you can think of and tested performance, expandability, features and, of course, looked at the future roadmap. Based on months of testing and evaluation, it was clear to us that Arista offered the best fit for our needs and a path to grow in line with the needs of the university.”

“We had already upgraded our old Medialaan studios in Vilvoorde to a hybrid IP and SDI infrastructure to support SMPTE 2110, but the new facility at Mediaplein was effectively a blank slate which allowed us the luxury of being able to specify exactly what we wanted for our IP connectivity from the ground up.”

"SDN is an important initiative that can benefit our customers by allowing the intelligence derived from our monitoring systems to be leveraged for a higher level of control when managing network behavior and performance. With this new announcement, Arista continues to make significant advancements in delivering on the promise of SDN and we look forward to working with the Arista team to exploit these new capabilities for the benefit of our mutual customers."
