"The network is critical to maintaining the services our customers depend on. With Arista EOS and the Arista 7300 platform, we will be able to automate and program our network, ensuring high availability and uptime while also reducing our operational costs."
“The architecture is designed to cope well with unanticipated issues and we have worked with a fantastically responsive team at Arista to do things which would normally be incredibly challenging with monolithic network operating system architecture - and crucially, while delivering the highest levels of performance and availability for the network.”
“Along with reliability concerns, the Avaya switches used a proprietary software defined network technology, This gave us very little scope to implement the automation we desired – so we decided to upgrade the network to a more modern and open platform.”
“The Arista switches will allow us to work smarter not harder, and staff and students will certainly notice and benefit from the performance hike delivered by the upgrade.”
“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.”
“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.”
“That changed last year when Avid began certifying additional network vendors, This gave us the opportunity to create a broader public tender and consider other options for the upgraded network layer needed to deliver this project”
“We looked at and tested several options and we were very impressed with the Arista proposal, Arista met and often exceeded all the requirements stated within the technical specification. The design underpins each virtualized cluster with a simple but effective spine and leaf topology, capable of delivering all the throughput required by the application.”
“Arista has been supportive during this project, and we look forward to working with the team as we transition more of our production infrastructure towards virtualization and embrace the benefits of private cloud.”
“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.”
"Arista’s 7500 switching platform removes a number of barriers to wide-scale 10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption in performance sensitive markets like financial services, cloud computing and high performance computing. In capital markets in particular, this product strikes to the heart of all the major IT initiatives underway – lower capital expenditures, massive scale, reduced power consumption and above all, the flexibility to stay agile as the business climate changes."
"Arista’s new SDN feature set provides network architects with unprecedented control in delivering a high-performance distributed data layer on top of their switching fabric."
"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."
"The Arista 7500 provides extremely strong port density and price value. It also takes up much less space than competing switches, and it uses copper cabling to cut down on installation costs. It should be highly competitive in the high performance computing market."
"We as a VMWare Enterprise partner, face the limitations of 1GbE daily in our storage and server virtualization projects. 10 GbE from Arista gives us countless benefits and puts us steps ahead of the competition."
