188 Arista Networks Testimonials

"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."

"The Arista switches, with their leading port density, low power and robust software allowed us to meet the high standards that our customers demand from our social networking service."

"The search was on for the right switch-With our clients looking for us to provide revolutionary turnkey solutions, we needed to find an affordable 1U switch that was open, adaptive and extremely powerful. While cost, space and power consumption were important considerations, our primary concern was finding the best architectural solution. The Arista 7048 ticked all the boxes with non-blocking wire speed performance on all ports and extensibility built into the switch architecture."

"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.”

"At Headlands Technologies network efficiencies are critical to our business. The wire speed NAT (Network Address Translation) capabilities on the 7150S shave off 100s of microseconds of forwarding delay, while the reduction in latency on the 52 port switch allows for increased density which is also very important to us."

“Overall, this has been a very successful project, and it highlights UKSH in a very positive light for new researchers who want to work in our campus, knowing that the IT environment is able to serve their needs – both now – and into the future,”

"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 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.”

“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.”

“This is the largest and most significant project we have undertaken within Virgin Media O2 that will radically impact how we manage the network over the next decade, Our selection of Arista as the core network technology has been carefully considered and extensively tested. To date, the results have either met or surpassed our expectations. For us, the relationship with Arista is a strategic partnership and our vision around areas such as open standards and the future technology roadmap are aligned which gives us confidence in the long-term success of this transformative project."

“During the last three years we have grown quickly by acquiring big customers that chose CDLAN for our connectivity and data center services. This rapid growth was a great opportunity for us, but it started to exploit some weaknesses of our network infrastructure.”

“For us, services availability is our number one priority. Our customers rely on us to deliver telephony and application accessibility so any outage can damage their business and our hard earned reputation – so the new solution needed to be absolutely reliable and able to grow in line with our business.”

“Like many other service providers, we are exploring cloud opportunities as this is where the market is heading. Our first step on this path was a major project to transform our existing infrastructure from traditional SDI cables and routers into a system based on TCP/IP networks using mostly commodity IT products.”

“We are doing some quite interesting and technical challenging things with the Arista switches and when we needed to speak to an Arista tech support, we would actually get an expert, not just somebody reading from a script – that was phenomenal.”
