188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“The performance of the Arista switches has exceeded our expectation and as the higher density design has allowed us to reduce our rack space and energy consumption.”

“Being able to achieve 400 Gb network speeds in Biodesign C was a major milestone for our team, We think of our work as instrumental in powering the foundation of innovation that places ASU at the forefront of research, discovery and impact.”

"At Joyent, we're working to make the entire data center into a unified, fully programmable computing platform. Our cloud computing technology allows thousands of companies to meet the needs of modern high-scale applications, including instantly managing variable load, scaling resources on demand, and re-architecting in real time. We're proud to partner with Arista in bringing the Arista 7500 10GbE switching technology to market providing our customers with increased network performance while enabling security, density, stability, and flexibility that is not available in any other environment."

"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 looked at almost every vendor you can think of and tested performance, expandability, features and, of course, looked at the future roadmap. Based on months of testing and evaluation, it was clear to us that Arista offered the best fit for our needs and a path to grow in line with the needs of the university.”

“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.”

“Our need for network devices that could process 400 Gbps of traffic at a wire rate limited our options to the major vendors. Arista Networks offered not only a high level of cost performance but also gave us the ability to use a transceiver supporting fiber optic transmission multiplexing. This support was important to us because it satisfied our need for a long-distance, high-speed connection.”

“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.”

"What Arista gives us is the software solution that allows us to build a living and breathing network and where it grows from this point onwards is in our own hands.”

“Proper cloud WiFi based solutions were few and far between. We discounted a lot of them because of the cost vs. benefit. As far as I could tell, when you compared Arista Networks to other big names on the market, it was ahead of the competition in terms of its cloud platform, speed and pricing structure. It was quite an easy decision. With Arista CloudVision, we no longer have to invest in controllers or servers, and we can manage the entire system remotely from anywhere using a laptop.This is a significant benefit to us because it eliminates the need to travel across the UK to each of our 45 sites."

"We ran virtualised instances of the switches to speed up the development process. We could also take it on a laptop to show customers – EOS offered a full API which allows us to build a lot of features into our software stack that ultimately reduce the number of people involved and time taken to deliver the service.”

"Being the first cloud in Costa Rica was a great challenge for us, on one hand we had the customers requirements (high end switching,wire speed and support) and on the other the commitment to a green facility and thanks to the Arista solutions we accomplish both."

"10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption is gaining momentum as new servers and CPUs deliver greater compute capabilities and drive the need for more bandwidth. The Arista 7500 delivers high-performance, high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching, enabling significant improvements to mid-size and larger server deployments. Coupling iWARP support in Intel® Ethernet 10 Gigabit Server Adapters along with low-latency switching in the Arista 7500, enables Ethernet to deliver a high-performance, cost-effective HPC solution as an alternative to InfiniBand. This was recently demonstrated on a 500-node supercomputer developed for biomedical research – delivering Top 200 performance (35.8 TeraFLOPs) and Top 100 efficiency (84%) on the Top 500 Linpack benchmark1."

"We are excited to collaborate with Arista on the 7150 Series, designed with the Intel® Ethernet Switch FM6000 for flexible forwarding. Together with Programmable Arista EOS, new SDN functionality can be achieved with a common platform. Such versatility is a breakthrough innovation in the industry and a testament to the world-class design achieved by Arista and Intel working together."

"In high-performance computing, low-latency performance is key to achieving optimal and efficient results. Ethernet is capable of delivering performance on par with InfiniBand when it comes to clustering applications. In fact, Intel and Arista Networks recently demonstrated a high performance, low latency cluster using Schlumberger’s ECLIPSE reservoir simulation software with Intel’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet iWARP adapter and Arista’s 7124S switch. We are excited about the improved performance in the new Arista 7124SX switch and the sub-500ns port-to-port latency that can deliver better application performance for our customers."
