“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.”
“The use of Arista has proven a good choice for LepidaSpA, We have the possibility to move to low cost 100Gbe uplinks and the switches have reduced packet loss, with low latency while maintaining a great deal of scalability. With the new upgraded infrastructure, we can now offer to our customer additional transport services while simplifying the provisioning process allows us to easily add new links and sites to our Distributed NAP to meet growing demand."
“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."
"We felt the support of Arista from the very beginning, their engineering team, their partners, they’ve been with us in the different phases of the project. The support from Arista’s team was outstanding."
"Cloudera Enterprise, the core of an enterprise data hub, gives our customers access to all their data whether structured or unstructured. It's the foundation for the next generation of data management infrastructure, and provides insights that haven't been possible until now. Arista's Map Reduce Tracer provides similar insights to network administrators in understanding network performance and big data workloads across a variety of large data center and computing environments offering us high availability, which is critical for our success."
"As enterprises continue to build data centers on cloud computing technologies, it is critical that they can easily integrate with Hadoop-based systems for business analytics. We're encouraged by the latest innovations from Arista, which promises to deliver advanced network provisioning capabilities for seamless integration with Software Driven Cloud Networks that complement and extend the capabilities of Cloudera's next generation data management tools for the enterprise."
“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.”
