"Arista's SDN innovations further enable solutions like ExtraHop to easily integrate within OpenFlow and OpenStack environments. As the only vendor in IT operational intelligence that can transform SDN wire data into correlated cross-tier visibility, ExtraHop is excited about this new release. SDN traffic can now be provisioned rapidly from Arista's control plane, forwarded to ExtraHop for real-time analysis and visibility across all tiers; application, network, or infrastructure and have that automatically correlated with the end-user experience."
"Overall, this has been a very successful project for us that has removed much of the complexity of our network while building a solid foundation that allows us to keep scaling the network to better serve the business.”
"We selected Arista for its known performance and robustness. Being a proven technology in combination with the fact that it runs Linux provides us the flexibility we need in a switch platform supporting a fast changing technology such as OpenStack.”
"Arista’s EOS, coupled with LANZ allow for unprecedented integration with application latency analysis platforms such as our TipOff precision instrumentation suite, providing customers with a holistic and complete view of end to end latency dynamics within their trading applications."
"As an established partner of Arista’s, we have developed a strong working relationship with its team over the years. With Arista’s low-latency technology already forming an intrinsic component of one of our solutions, we have pioneered integration with EOS and LANZ to closely couple our platforms. The 7150 Series allows us to further integrate with extensive enhancements to LANZ and innovative features including precision hardware time stamping."
"We selected Arista's switch because of its unique capabilities related to flexible control and provisioning. We are developing extensions for Arista's EOS that will enable it to be integrated into large scale distributed systems, providing major new capabilities for network services that can quickly adjust to changing traffic requirements."
"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.”
“In the past, the introduction of new technologies started in the telecommunications market before expanding out into other markets, but I think modern GPU and AI networks are now driving more and more technological innovations. I look forward to exchanging information and working closely with Arista Networks in the future in the pursuit of these revolutions in technology. It is extremely hard to guess what cloud services will be used on the other side of the internet. The benefits to using cloud services are obvious from a rational economic perspective, but it is impossible to gain the ability to build these systems regardless of how much more knowledge is gained about using these cloud services. Complete dependency on technologies from overseas comes with risks. That is why we agree with the Japanese government initiatives, that building these systems domestically are so important.”
"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."
“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.”
"Looking to the future, we are planning to upgrade our edge network to Arista7500 switches to allow us to benefit from more cost-effective connectivity and the advantage of having a single operating system across our architecture which makes management tasks easier and more efficient.”
"The HOPUS concept has proven it can work in a number of European cities and we are now looking to expand to new locations – a journey that we will make together with Arista."
“I’ve been building networks at AWE for 27 years. This project has been really exciting as it’s the first time we’ve set up a whole new network from scratch and implemented the latest state of the art equipment. Based on the commitments made to the business 12 months ago, working with Arista has meant we’ve achieved what we set out to do. Our requirements have certainly been met.”
"Arista continues to provide innovative low-latency products to the industry. Through its partnership with Fulcrum, Arista now delivers latency monitoring capabilities unavailable in competitor’s switches. The combination of unparalleled low latency, extensibility of EOS and LANZ, and the exceptionally small footprint of the 7124SX provide a perfect switch solution for data center applications."
“We are continually evaluating new technologies and potential vendors and we had read good reports about Arista in this space, We also spoke to contacts within the Italian and international community that had successfully deployed Arista. Following these discussions we decided to include Arista in a PoC as Arista’s technology seemed like a perfect fit for our requirement.”
