"We selected Arista's switch because of its unique capabilities related to flexible control and provisioning. We are developing extensions for Arista's EOS that will enable it to be integrated into large scale distributed systems, providing major new capabilities for network services that can quickly adjust to changing traffic requirements."
“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.”
“The Arista switches will allow us to work smarter not harder, and staff and students will certainly notice and benefit from the performance hike delivered by the upgrade.”
"Overall, this has been a very successful project for us that has removed much of the complexity of our network while building a solid foundation that allows us to keep scaling the network to better serve the business.”
“Our needs have changed as ITN has grown and today it is critical for us to be able to adapt to new demands and workflows with flexibility at scale. The move to an IP network is a significant change for us – and it will be with us for a long time – so our scoping project was extremely thorough.”
"The Arista solution completely changed our WiFi experience. Our customers anticipate a great experience when they visit us. Arista exceeds their WiFi expectations, delivering fast, reliable, and consistent WiFi.”
“I really took a risk moving off the incumbent vendor, but it has more than paid off. The network is so stable I haven’t had to touch the network much in 3 years.”
“The architecture is designed to cope well with unanticipated issues and we have worked with a fantastically responsive team at Arista to do things which would normally be incredibly challenging with monolithic network operating system architecture - and crucially, while delivering the highest levels of performance and availability for the network.”
"As customers continue to leverage our VMware NSX™ network virtualization platform as a core component of the software-defined data center, Arista is an important VMware NSX partner. The addition of support for the OVSDB on the Arista 7000 series with hardware VXLAN tunnel endpoint (VTEP) is another example of our joint innovation. Our joint customers can leverage VMware NSX and Arista to realize the benefits of unified management between physical and virtual workloads across hypervisors and physical access switches."
“The three keywords of the project were modular, scalable, and flexible – and the last part, flexibility, is something that is really now translating into remote production as well.”
"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."
"Our technical guys were particularly impressed by the ease of management of Arista and during operation it has allowed us to make major changes that would typically take weeks in just a few days.”
"In fact, given Arista's impressive layer 3 routing capabilities, I can't see anything being more significant in the 10 GbE switching space right now."
"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."
