188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“We also liked the fact that the Arista EOS is the same across all the switches, it’s easy to operate and low maintenance. Another benefit was the centralised orchestration capability which was very powerful.”

“We worked well as a team. We went from proof of concept to migrating nearly 95% of our infrastructure in just a few months without any unplanned outages and only minor issues that were quickly resolved through simple configuration changes."

"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 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.”

"Arista continues to provide innovative low-latency products to the industry. Through its partnership with Fulcrum, Arista now delivers latency monitoring capabilities unavailable in competitor’s switches. The combination of unparalleled low latency, extensibility of EOS and LANZ, and the exceptionally small footprint of the 7124SX provide a perfect switch solution for data center applications."

"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."

“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.”

"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.”

"Arista is one of the only companies that understands the role of the network in high performance data centers, Big Data, server virtualization and cloud computing. Simply stated, Arista is delivering leading performance and software functionality to drive its industry and customers forward."

"The Switch SuperNAP is the highest power density data center in the world, we partner with Arista to deliver high density networking solutions with many of our joint customers who are using Arista switching and the Super NAP's power efficiency/density to run some of the largest Hadoop clusters, largest concurrent streaming media delivery, and most cost effective public clouds."

"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."

“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.”
