"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."

“Some of our new digital services demand more throughput from the network and our existing switches were also reaching end-of-life, so it made sense to think about redesigning our network from the ground up.”

“We were building out 10 to 20 racks a week and hosting customers might have multiple elements such as dedicated servers, firewalls, switches and private clouds within their racks or rooms which needed to be physically connected in close proximity to overcome cabling issues and to improve performance. This meant …

"In fact, given Arista's impressive layer 3 routing capabilities, I can't see anything being more significant in the 10 GbE switching space right now."

“The advantage of the solution offered by Arista is a combination of MLAG functionality with very low packet latency, which is a very important feature when it comes to distributed calculations.”

“The implemented Arista network solution in Świerk Computing Centre has uplink connections bandwidth of 320Gbps and extremely low port-to-port latency of less than 1us. This allows us to fully utilize installed computing devices within the HPC cluster.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“We had previously built and maintained very specialist servers linked to atomic clocks that serve NTP requests for time data. This method worked well, but the new NTS standard uses more computational resources for encryption processes. This reduced the number of requests we could serve from our existing clusters and …

"As leaders in Open SDN, and going back to its genesis at the Clean Slate Lab over five years ago, Big Switch is very happy to see leading vendors like Arista embracing OpenFlow and open standards."

“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."

“We call it the next evolution of networking and we believe that one day all operators will be like this, A future where each customer has the freedom to adapt the service provider network to their individual business requirements without sacrificing quality, performance or reliability is now a reality.”

“In order to have the maximum scalability we selected to use a L3 mesh backbone between switch and transport traffic using VXLAN encapsulation, This particular configuration offers the required flexibility and simple provisioning operation in order to provide effective network transport, for Fixed Mobile itself and our wholesale customers.”

“Arista’s EVPN/VXLAN design is an ‘all-in-one’ solution that effectively addresses the university’s networking requirements. Its implementation, particularly on Arista equipment, has proven to meet all specification points, including offering load balancing mechanisms on backbone links."
