"We are effectively running the Arista switches as the core networking switches and so far we have had no issues around the latency or reliability. The cost per port is around a quarter of what anybody else could match, even with educational discounts, and we are using only 26 of the 48 ports giving us plenty of scope to grow."
"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."
"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."
“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.”
“The Arista approach was so flexible, If you consider, we started with just two leafs per datacentre and campus and, two years later, we now have a spine and 6 leafs per datacentre. In effect, we expanded our core by three times the capacity in just two years without any problems. That’s the real benefit, you can adapt quickly, when you need it – and that’s really cool.”
“It is definitely easier to script something now, before we had to consider like three different types of switch operating systems all from the same vendor - but with different command sets and config commands. But now, it’s way simpler to create something and roll it out in the whole environment with just one config that is valid for every device.”
“Proper cloud WiFi based solutions were few and far between. We discounted a lot of them because of the cost vs. benefit. As far as I could tell, when you compared Arista Networks to other big names on the market, it was ahead of the competition in terms of its cloud platform, speed and pricing structure. It was quite an easy decision. With Arista CloudVision, we no longer have to invest in controllers or servers, and we can manage the entire system remotely from anywhere using a laptop.This is a significant benefit to us because it eliminates the need to travel across the UK to each of our 45 sites."
“Each remote camera outputs between 2 to 8 Gbps of data and with 75 cameras active, the underlying IP network was having serious issues that were leading to latency and dropouts, We previously had technical discussions with Arista ahead of this project and it was decided that we would bring them in overnight to replace the switches.”
"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."
“Our Visual Effects and Post-Production Studio needed to connect a new central data storage offering an overall connectivity improvement for each department. Studio work with data is quite specific compared to conventional network traffic demands. We are working with a huge amount of data, which must be available to the manufacturing process for image data processing as quickly as possible - ideally in real time. In doing so, it is necessary to provide all the safety rules that are part of the entire operation.”
"Panasas provides storage systems for some of the fastest supercomputers in the world that are used to discover oil, develop new products, maintain the defense weapons stockpile, find cures for diseases and many other applications. Arista is delivering the next generation network platform that Panasas and its customers need to create a new wave of solutions."
"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."
“From when we first launched, our strategy was to build everything from the ground up ourselves, We want the best technologies and providers within a design put together and maintained by our internal team. This approach allows us to always ensure quality, and this is what many people associate with FullSave – quality."
“Arista has exceeded our expectations, Generally, the kit just works straight out of the box and overall, I think our experience with Arista has been great It’s the kind of tech I would definitely recommend to a friend as it were.”
"The Arista 7500 switch should accelerate the adoption of 10Gb Ethernet as the interconnect of choice for high performance servers and storage in cloud computing, virtualization and mission-critical data center applications. In particular, I expect to see even faster growth of high density Ethernet clusters as the replacement technology for InfiniBand."
