"As the largest U.S. options exchange and creator of listed options, the Chicago Board of Exchange requires a network infrastructure that delivers the low latency and non blocking performance that our high volume trading environments demand. Arista's high performance modular and top of rack 10 Gb switching solutions meet CBOE stringent trading operations requirements by delivering one of the lowest latency exchange trading infrastructures in the marketplace."
"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."
“Arista has been supportive during this project, and we look forward to working with the team as we transition more of our production infrastructure towards virtualization and embrace the benefits of private cloud.”
“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."
“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 Lepida itself and our wholesale customer, between different Internet Exchange Meeting Points.”
“In a matter of minutes, and without being on-site, I can deploy a new WiFi network or create splash pages to enhance a guest experience. We can provide a personalized experience for thousands of people. Arista helped us eliminate the other competitors by offering every wireless functionality we required in one solution.”
"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."
“Arista’s EVPN/VXLAN design is an ‘all-in-one’ solution that effectively addresses the university’s networking requirements. Its implementation, particularly on Arista equipment, has proven to meet all specification points, including offering load balancing mechanisms on backbone links."
"The ability of IT and data center managers to effectively adopt and deploy 10Gb Ethernet has been hindered until recently by the lack of high-density, high-performance modular switches and high-performance 10GbE server adapters. Solarflare has addressed the need for high-performance 10 GbE adapters with the introduction last month of our SFN5122F adapter that can deliver 120 Gbps of bandwidth with the latest Intel and AMD based servers. When leveraged by the new Arista 7500 switch, customers will now be able to build reliable, power-efficient, high-performance 10 GbE fabrics that maximize data center performance when implementing solutions for cloud computing, virtualization, and other mission-critical applications."
"We are thrilled with Arista's new 7124SX switch and the ground-breaking Latency Analyzer (LANZ) feature. When combined with Solarflare's OpenOnload application acceleration middleware, the platform delivers record low application latency and jitter, which in turn results in a unique, compelling, and measurable business advantage. In addition, the improvements in form factor and power will significantly reduce OPEX costs and will definitely increase ROI."
"The Arista 7500 provides extremely strong port density and price value. It also takes up much less space than competing switches, and it uses copper cabling to cut down on installation costs. It should be highly competitive in the high performance computing market."
“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."
"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."
"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."
