"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."

"Panasas provides storage systems for some of the fastest supercomputers in the world that are used to discover oil, develop new products, maintain the defense weapons stockpile, find cures for diseases and many other applications. Arista is delivering the next generation network platform that Panasas and its customers need to …

“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 …

“That changed last year when Avid began certifying additional network vendors, This gave us the opportunity to create a broader public tender and consider other options for the upgraded network layer needed to deliver this project”

“We looked at and tested several options and we were very impressed with the Arista proposal, Arista met and often exceeded all the requirements stated within the technical specification. The design underpins each virtualized cluster with a simple but effective spine and leaf topology, capable of delivering all the throughput …

“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.”

“Rai is a public service media company focused on the adoption of open standards. Thanks to the introduction of Arista technology, we have been able to complete the new virtualized architecture which has been successfully integrated with what already existed in our production infrastructure. We are steadily moving towards a …

"The critical requirements for the network in the data center have been changing - Intel's Nehalem processor, Solid-State Storage, mobile Virtual Machines, and the ever increasing demands for space, power, and cooling have stressed the data center past a breaking point. The Gigabit Ethernet network of yester-year is waning in …

“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 …

“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 …

“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."

“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.”

"Arista’s 7500 switching platform removes a number of barriers to wide-scale 10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption in performance sensitive markets like financial services, cloud computing and high performance computing. In capital markets in particular, this product strikes to the heart of all the major IT initiatives underway – lower capital expenditures, …

"Arista’s new SDN feature set provides network architects with unprecedented control in delivering a high-performance distributed data layer on top of their switching fabric."

“This is the largest and most significant project we have undertaken within Virgin Media O2 that will radically impact how we manage the network over the next decade, Our selection of Arista as the core network technology has been carefully considered and extensively tested. To date, the results have either …
