"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."
“The customers we spoke to were all extremely positive about the deal, especially several in the electronic trading sector that had already deployed Arista solutions within their core networks due to their low latency and non-blocking performance.”
“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.”
"As leaders in Open SDN, and going back to its genesis at the Clean Slate Lab over five years ago, Big Switch is very happy to see leading vendors like Arista embracing OpenFlow and open standards."
“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.”
"On functionality, feature set and price, Arista Networks 7000 Series switches had everything we needed."
“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.”
“Over the last three years we’ve seen the number of student devices triple. They’re each bringing three to four devices onto campus, which created a problem on the old network. Arista allows us to put more people onto one access point and not have students dropping off. Arista’s dashboard makes my life much easier. I can go into the dashboard and see right away how many users there are, the different types of operating systems, what access points are receiving the most traffic; then I can drill down into the WiFi area even further to take a look at the each individual user.”
“As cyber attacks change in the future, more higher educational institutions are going to become targets. We not only need to keep our students protected, but we also need to keep our faculty’s personal accounts and information secure.”
"The Arista 7500 is off the charts on packet processing performance, low power consumption and completeness of vision - this new platform establishes the Arista portfolio as one of the strongest in the data center networking space. This announcement will shock the industry as Arista introduces a massively powerful Ethernet switching platform and moves from a product to a portfolio company. It clearly now has the resources to be a viable challenger to incumbents in the switching space."
“In a matter of minutes, and without being on-site, I can deploy a new WiFi network or create splash pages to enhance a guest experience. We can provide a personalized experience for thousands of people. Arista helped us eliminate the other competitors by offering every wireless functionality we required in one solution.”
"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 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."
"Arista and F5 share a common vision for our customers’ next generation data centers while meeting their critical data center requirements today. Arista's EOS™ and the new 7000 series can be combined with F5’s BIG-IP solution to deliver a software defined cloud architecture that will benefit customers through streamlined and consistent application delivery services, such as load balancing, firewalls, application layer security, and access control."
"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.”
