"Arista’s new 7124SX switch reflects a major advancement for financial trading and ultra low latency services. Ultra low latency applications also require enterprise-wide network analysis, visibility, and reporting, which makes NIKSUN and Arista an ideal complement for hyper-scale computing environments."
“In order to have the maximum scalability we selected to use a L3 mesh backbone between switch and transport traffic using VXLAN encapsulation, This particular configuration offers the required flexibility and simple provisioning operation in order to provide effective network transport, for Lepida itself and our wholesale customer, between different Internet Exchange Meeting Points.”
“We already have a lot of experience with Arista as it has been part of our internet exchange offering for around five years, so we were very familiar with Arista’s capabilities including reliability, quality and execution.”
“We are happy with our decision to purchase Arista Networks and believe that that the changes they brought are welcomed by both our customers and staff alike. WiFi has become an expectation from passengers, and we wanted to get ahead of the game by putting in a reliable and safe guest network for the benefit of all our customers.”
“I’ve been building networks at AWE for 27 years. This project has been really exciting as it’s the first time we’ve set up a whole new network from scratch and implemented the latest state of the art equipment. Based on the commitments made to the business 12 months ago, working with Arista has meant we’ve achieved what we set out to do. Our requirements have certainly been met.”
"Looking to the future, we are planning to upgrade our edge network to Arista7500 switches to allow us to benefit from more cost-effective connectivity and the advantage of having a single operating system across our architecture which makes management tasks easier and more efficient.”
"The HOPUS concept has proven it can work in a number of European cities and we are now looking to expand to new locations – a journey that we will make together with Arista."
"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."
“We had three main goals, Firstly we needed increased bandwidth to support the sheer volume of content we have moving across our network, next we needed to ensure reliability with the ability to grow as needed. And finally, we were keen to build automation into the network management side to allow us to better adapt to future requirements.”
“The Arista team has been with us across the entire project and helped us to deliver a successful upgrade,” says Ripepi, “The new network will better support our researchers and scientists to continue their pioneering work and improve collaboration with colleagues across the world."
"Our data processing applications in these centers operate in high-performance compute clusters which demand low latency, and high bandwidth from the network. Arista's networking solutions delivered on these key requirements. By working with Arista we've developed a more efficient 10 Gb Ethernet seismic processing center architecture with the ability to scale to 40 Gb and beyond."
“For us, services availability is our number one priority. Our customers rely on us to deliver telephony and application accessibility so any outage can damage their business and our hard earned reputation – so the new solution needed to be absolutely reliable and able to grow in line with our business.”
“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.”
“Proper cloud WiFi based solutions were few and far between. We discounted a lot of them because of the cost vs. benefit. As far as I could tell, when you compared Arista Networks to other big names on the market, it was ahead of the competition in terms of its cloud platform, speed and pricing structure. It was quite an easy decision. With Arista CloudVision, we no longer have to invest in controllers or servers, and we can manage the entire system remotely from anywhere using a laptop.This is a significant benefit to us because it eliminates the need to travel across the UK to each of our 45 sites."
"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."
