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.”

“We entered a market already dominated by established players, who also offer wholesale connectivity. Our aim was to provide ISP customers with superior products offering the fastest available broadband.”

"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.”

“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.”

"We as a VMWare Enterprise partner, face the limitations of 1GbE daily in our storage and server virtualization projects. 10 GbE from Arista gives us countless benefits and puts us steps ahead of the competition."

"Microsoft is committed to helping customers realize cloud computing benefits through our Cloud OS - a consistent platform spanning private clouds, service provider clouds and Windows Azure. The combination of Arista networking, including the Arista 7000 series switches and Microsoft’s Cloud OS, specifically System Center and Windows Server Hyper-V, delivers on the promise of Software Driven Cloud Networking for our mutual customers – in their datacenters or in hybrid clouds."

“We were building out 10 to 20 racks a week and hosting customers might have multiple elements such as dedicated servers, firewalls, switches and private clouds within their racks or rooms which needed to be physically connected in close proximity to overcome cabling issues and to improve performance. This meant we spent a lot of time physically moving servers around our data centres, resulting in delays in processing customer orders while proving time consuming for our technical teams.”

"We looked at a number of options and only Arista’s implementation of universal spine plus FlexRoute offers us the performance benefits of deploying a traditional routing platform with cost savings and flexibility of a switching architecture. In terms of performance and reliability, the Arista solution has been faultless and integrated seamlessly with the other elements within our plant with enough density and headroom to allow us to scale to meet new business demands."

"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."

"All students should be able to access the network without any problems. We also hope to provide a system that will enable online viewing for students who were unable to attend classes for various reasons or wishing to review their classes."

“In the end, Arista was a very simple choice for us. Arista was a case where you could do everything and you got everything, which was really refreshing as they were not holding back. The sales cycle was good from start to finish.”

"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."

"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.”

“Along with reliability concerns, the Avaya switches used a proprietary software defined network technology, This gave us very little scope to implement the automation we desired – so we decided to upgrade the network to a more modern and open platform.”

"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."
