"We effectively process more transactions than the London Stock Exchanges combined and our development teams are continually working on a variety of projects that require our infrastructure to deliver both high performance and the ability to rapidly scale.”
“We instead made the decision to build all of the core platforms and infrastructure ourselves, Many of the systems were completely unique and we were keen to ensure that performance and reliability were absolutely part of what made our platform stand out from the crowd, so we made technology investment a major priority.”
“During this project, we have developed a good relationship with the Arista team, The technical support has been fantastic and when we have wanted to do things in a slightly unconventional way, they have always found a way to help us. For us, Arista is a strategic partner for our future expansion,”
"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."
“Improving the reliability of our network is always a key issue for us. In addition to ensuring redundancy of the networking equipment, we also have a robust framework in place for operation and maintenance.”
"At present, we are only utilizing the L2 functions. In the future, we are eager to better utilize the Arista switches’ characteristic functions such as automatic software installation and ‘MLAG’, which achieves link aggregation between different chassis.”
"Alatum is pleased to work with Arista Networks to deliver cloud computing services. The scalability, reliability and performance of our Alatum cloud services powered by HP and Arista Networks will enable businesses to be more agile, reduce their operating costs significantly and operate more productively."
"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.”
"I’m excited by Arista’s 7500 chassis because it makes very large Enterprise Data Cloud deployments much simpler. It extends the incremental ‘top of rack’ approach with a 384 wire-speed ports aggregation switch, enabling a flat 10 gig network for tens of thousands of compute and storage nodes."
“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.”
"As leaders in Open SDN, and going back to its genesis at the Clean Slate Lab over five years ago, Big Switch is very happy to see leading vendors like Arista embracing OpenFlow and open standards."
"As customers continue to leverage our VMware NSX™ network virtualization platform as a core component of the software-defined data center, Arista is an important VMware NSX partner. The addition of support for the OVSDB on the Arista 7000 series with hardware VXLAN tunnel endpoint (VTEP) is another example of our joint innovation. Our joint customers can leverage VMware NSX and Arista to realize the benefits of unified management between physical and virtual workloads across hypervisors and physical access switches."
"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."
“The Arista team has been with us across the entire project and helped us to deliver a successful upgrade,” says Ripepi, “The new network will better support our researchers and scientists to continue their pioneering work and improve collaboration with colleagues across the world."
"Working with Arista's EOS™ network telemetry architecture our Riverbed® Cascade® Shark and Riverbed® OPNET AppResponse Xpert™ application-aware network performance management solutions provide critical insight into the real-time and historical performance of virtual and physical workloads. With our combined technologies, Riverbed and Arista provide IT operations with actionable insight into the factors that determine the success of cloud-based data center architectures."
