188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“Our legacy network architecture could not guarantee us the reliability and throughput we needed, In an environment where you are potentially pushing tens of petabytes across the network each day, delays result in loss of productivity and our workloads are growing by double digits each quarter.”

"The high density 40GbE and 100GbE interfaces, deep packet buffers, SDN features and the robustness of EOS makes the Arista 7500 an ideal spine platform for our network. Arista continues to innovate on programmability with it's Linux based EOS and was a key factor in deciding on the 7500E for our Big Data needs."

“From when we first launched, our strategy was to build everything from the ground up ourselves, We want the best technologies and providers within a design put together and maintained by our internal team. This approach allows us to always ensure quality, and this is what many people associate with FullSave – quality."

“We turned to technologies that can be scaled easily and provide high reliability and survival time, taking into account the service scope and requirements. In addition to the needs of existing systems, services and users, we also considered the rapidly increasing data center demand and traffic volumes.”

"Arista has taken data center switching to new heights the Arista 7500 architecture is ideally suited for our HPC and storage needs."

“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.”

"The search was on for the right switch-With our clients looking for us to provide revolutionary turnkey solutions, we needed to find an affordable 1U switch that was open, adaptive and extremely powerful. While cost, space and power consumption were important considerations, our primary concern was finding the best architectural solution. The Arista 7048 ticked all the boxes with non-blocking wire speed performance on all ports and extensibility built into the switch architecture."

"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."

"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."

"10 Gigabit Ethernet adoption is gaining momentum as new servers and CPUs deliver greater compute capabilities and drive the need for more bandwidth. The Arista 7500 delivers high-performance, high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching, enabling significant improvements to mid-size and larger server deployments. Coupling iWARP support in Intel® Ethernet 10 Gigabit Server Adapters along with low-latency switching in the Arista 7500, enables Ethernet to deliver a high-performance, cost-effective HPC solution as an alternative to InfiniBand. This was recently demonstrated on a 500-node supercomputer developed for biomedical research – delivering Top 200 performance (35.8 TeraFLOPs) and Top 100 efficiency (84%) on the Top 500 Linpack benchmark1."

"We are excited to collaborate with Arista on the 7150 Series, designed with the Intel® Ethernet Switch FM6000 for flexible forwarding. Together with Programmable Arista EOS, new SDN functionality can be achieved with a common platform. Such versatility is a breakthrough innovation in the industry and a testament to the world-class design achieved by Arista and Intel working together."

"In high-performance computing, low-latency performance is key to achieving optimal and efficient results. Ethernet is capable of delivering performance on par with InfiniBand when it comes to clustering applications. In fact, Intel and Arista Networks recently demonstrated a high performance, low latency cluster using Schlumberger’s ECLIPSE reservoir simulation software with Intel’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet iWARP adapter and Arista’s 7124S switch. We are excited about the improved performance in the new Arista 7124SX switch and the sub-500ns port-to-port latency that can deliver better application performance for our customers."

"Ethernet interfaces from 10G to 100G provide sufficient bandwidth to transport uncompressed content from SD to UHD but require additional broadcast wrappers to do so. This includes the SMPTE standards, which have recently enabled uncompressed media transport over IP and, thereby, removed the last blocker to an all‐IP platform. While still in their infancy, these new protocols, along with standards like AMWA NMOS, promise to reduce complexity in managing content distribution.”

"The Arista switches, with their leading port density, low power and robust software allowed us to meet the high standards that our customers demand from our social networking service."

“Improving the reliability of our network is always a key issue for us. In addition to ensuring redundancy of the networking equipment, we also have a robust framework in place for operation and maintenance.”
