188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“As a research and development hub, OIST would be unable to accomplish anything without a fully operational network. The network backbone is mission critical infrastructure for OIST, a shutdown would impair every research facility on our campus. The two-layer ring topology constructed using network equipment from different manufacturers ensures a design that prevents a total functional shutdown in the event one ring fails. Another benefit that we emphasized in our evaluations was a low operational and management burden.”

“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.”

"The high density 40GbE and 100GbE interfaces, deep packet buffers, SDN features and the robustness of EOS makes the Arista 7500 an ideal spine platform for our network. Arista continues to innovate on programmability with it's Linux based EOS and was a key factor in deciding on the 7500E for our Big Data needs."

“We have been growing quickly over the last few years, but the network infrastructure was starting to become unreliable and a bottleneck for growth because any outage would have a massive negative impact on our operations and indeed global shipping.”

“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 made it difficult to scale up.”

“The success of the Campus project has provided us with many tangible benefits, and as a result, we have also decided to deploy Arista Networks in some of our Data Centers.”

"The decision to go with Arista also gave us an opportunity to revaluate our architecture and start to take advantage of extensibility features within the platform such as buffer monitoring, that offer us more visibility over traffic flow, and to take proactive capacity planning measures to avoid any future issues.”

Although carrying out a data centre migration during the pandemic was, at times, challenging, the end result could not have come at a better time with the university adopting more interactive and digital learning methods, The data centre is at the heart of so many things we need to do to deliver the next generation of educational tools and the success of this project is part of the commitment we hold to our students to make sure that IT is there to help them succeed.”

"We looked at a number of options and only Arista’s implementation of universal spine plus FlexRoute offers us the performance benefits of deploying a traditional routing platform with cost savings and flexibility of a switching architecture. In terms of performance and reliability, the Arista solution has been faultless and integrated seamlessly with the other elements within our plant with enough density and headroom to allow us to scale to meet new business demands."

“Everything is driving towards the cloud. Even when customers buy our software off the shelf, the data is uploaded and can be accessed from their phone, tablet, etc.”

“We weren’t just looking for a piece of hardware, we were looking for a partner. The impact of this project will affect not just us but research projects around the world and we were embarking on a bit of a journey of discovery.”

“We turned to technologies that can be scaled easily and provide high reliability and survival time, taking into account the service scope and requirements. In addition to the needs of existing systems, services and users, we also considered the rapidly increasing data center demand and traffic volumes.”

"SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud delivers the massive power of HANA with the elegant simplicity of the cloud. This gives our customers the choice and flexibility of a different deployment model, without compromise. The network is a critical element in HANA Enterprise Cloud and Arista’s 10/40/100GB networking portfolio, including the 7300, are a perfect match for our requirements. Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS™) exceptional API support as well as its open Linux operating system enables SAP to run core Linux components on an Arista switch such as DHCP, LDAP and other open source Linux applications. We are proud to be working with Arista."

“We have the Arista platforms running operationally now for nearly five years and the performance along with the integration into our SDN architecture is phenomenal, but what is just as important is our relationship with the Arista team – this goes beyond just support, by providing us access to some incredibly knowledgeable people has allowed us to develop new features that have added some unique capabilities to the way we manage our cloud.”

"Combining Myricom's industry-leading programmable network adapters and versatile software with Arista's innovative switching platform will enable customers to leverage high performance networking for an even broader range of applications."
