“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.”
“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."
“Our network was starting to reach its limits of scalability – and was not well suited to a more virtualised environment as it lacked native support for VXLAN. and we know that as things get more difficult to manage, the risk of failure rises – and this is not acceptable for us.”
"Our data processing applications in these centers operate in high-performance compute clusters which demand low latency, and high bandwidth from the network. Arista's networking solutions delivered on these key requirements. By working with Arista we've developed a more efficient 10 Gb Ethernet seismic processing center architecture with the ability to scale to 40 Gb and beyond."
"For the cost, density and performance we were looking for, we could find no other solution that got close to the level of the Arista switches. The move to Arista has led to a 6 to 8 times increase in throughput with a latency reduction."
“It became clear that only two vendors had the 100G density and performance that we required for a project of this scale, However, the key advantages that prompted us to select Arista were its superior performance, deep integration with our chosen Nevion SDN architecture and the Arista professional services team that provided expertise across the scope of the project.”
"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."
“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.”
"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."
"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 are happy with our decision to purchase Arista Networks and believe that that the changes they brought are welcomed by both our customers and staff alike. WiFi has become an expectation from passengers, and we wanted to get ahead of the game by putting in a reliable and safe guest network for the benefit of all our customers.”
“We call it the next evolution of networking and we believe that one day all operators will be like this, A future where each customer has the freedom to adapt the service provider network to their individual business requirements without sacrificing quality, performance or reliability is now a reality.”
“In order to have the maximum scalability we selected to use a L3 mesh backbone between switch and transport traffic using VXLAN encapsulation, This particular configuration offers the required flexibility and simple provisioning operation in order to provide effective network transport, for Fixed Mobile itself and our wholesale customers.”
"For us the future is a fully 100Gbps architecture, so our plan is to bring the next generation of Arista kit back into our labs and put it through its paces – and we know that behind us we have the Arista engineers and support team that are simply awesome!"
“We looked at a bunch of solutions. I was blown away by the price point, features and functionality we were going to get with Arista cloud-managed WiFi. Other wireless solutions didn’t have all the functionality; they did a part of what we were going to address with Arista, but at a higher cost.”
