188 Arista Networks Testimonials

"SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud delivers the massive power of HANA with the elegant simplicity of the cloud. This gives our customers the choice and flexibility of a different deployment model, without compromise. The network is a critical element in HANA Enterprise Cloud and Arista’s 10/40/100GB networking portfolio, including the 7300, are a perfect match for our requirements. Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS™) exceptional API support as well as its open Linux operating system enables SAP to run core Linux components on an Arista switch such as DHCP, LDAP and other open source Linux applications. We are proud to be working with Arista."

“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.”

"Organizations using Splunk software with Arista’s new 7000X series can gain new insights by correlating data from both physical and virtual environments to get a full view of their mission-critical applications This correlation improves uptime, reduces costs and increases network efficiency. We’re pleased to be working with the Arista team to deliver this new level of operational intelligence."

“We are doing some quite interesting and technical challenging things with the Arista switches and when we needed to speak to an Arista tech support, we would actually get an expert, not just somebody reading from a script – that was phenomenal.”

"SDN is an important initiative that can benefit our customers by allowing the intelligence derived from our monitoring systems to be leveraged for a higher level of control when managing network behavior and performance. With this new announcement, Arista continues to make significant advancements in delivering on the promise of SDN and we look forward to working with the Arista team to exploit these new capabilities for the benefit of our mutual customers."

“Biodesign C is dedicated to pure science and research, The centers inside are internet-facing research, which means that the network plays a pivotal role in keeping connected.”

“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.”

"NPL holds the time source of highest accuracy in the UK, participating in the UTC definition. NPL employs Arista 7150S high precision Ethernet switches to deliver its NPLTime® service, which offers a certified time distribution for the financial sector. NPL employs PTP across a network of Arista 7150S, selected for the accuracy of its hardware-based timestamping and OCXO, providing highly precise and stable PTP time distribution, hence preserving the highest precision timing towards the organizations and customers that receive a certified precise time signal, directly traceable to UTC and independent of GPS."

“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.”

“During this project, we have developed a good relationship with the Arista team, The technical support has been fantastic and when we have wanted to do things in a slightly unconventional way, they have always found a way to help us. For us, Arista is a strategic partner for our future expansion,”

“We have been growing quickly over the last few years, but the network infrastructure was starting to become unreliable and a bottleneck for growth because any outage would have a massive negative impact on our operations and indeed global shipping.”

"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."

“We weren’t just looking for a piece of hardware, we were looking for a partner. The impact of this project will affect not just us but research projects around the world and we were embarking on a bit of a journey of discovery.”
