“We had three main goals, Firstly we needed increased bandwidth to support the sheer volume of content we have moving across our network, next we needed to ensure reliability with the ability to grow as needed. And finally, we were keen to build automation into the network management side to …

“25G offers us a good path for the future, but when we looked at the market we felt that some of the vendors were not ready and others were only just entering the market with very basic products.”

“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.”

“We have been growing quickly over the last few years, but the network infrastructure was starting to become unreliable and a bottleneck for growth because any outage would have a massive negative impact on our operations and indeed global shipping.”

"The high density 40GbE and 100GbE interfaces, deep packet buffers, SDN features and the robustness of EOS makes the Arista 7500 an ideal spine platform for our network. Arista continues to innovate on programmability with it's Linux based EOS and was a key factor in deciding on the 7500E for …

"I would say that Arista has the best technical support in the business. We got nothing but highly knowledgeable people at initial contact, and an excellent and honest sales staff, with no gray area or misunderstandings. It was an excellent decision to turn our network into an Arista data center."

“Biodesign C is dedicated to pure science and research, The centers inside are internet-facing research, which means that the network plays a pivotal role in keeping connected.”

“Being able to achieve 400 Gb network speeds in Biodesign C was a major milestone for our team, We think of our work as instrumental in powering the foundation of innovation that places ASU at the forefront of research, discovery and impact.”

“The Arista EOS is absolutely critical as it allows us to embed our custom software in each switch to detect and block issues like denial of service attacks and other threats in the most efficient manner.”

“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 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.”

"We ran virtualised instances of the switches to speed up the development process. We could also take it on a laptop to show customers – EOS offered a full API which allows us to build a lot of features into our software stack that ultimately reduce the number of people …

"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 …

“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.”
