188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“As a research and development hub, OIST would be unable to accomplish anything without a fully operational network. The network backbone is mission critical infrastructure for OIST, a shutdown would impair every research facility on our campus. The two-layer ring topology constructed using network equipment from different manufacturers ensures a design that prevents a total functional shutdown in the event one ring fails. Another benefit that we emphasized in our evaluations was a low operational and management burden.”

"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."

“As an industry first, there was a bit of a learning curve, but we had no issues with the Arista switch. One of the things we were concerned about was unlike a data center where a switch is always on, we have to deploy on a new site for every job and switching equipment on and off needs to be predictable and have reasonably quick startup - in this respect, the Arista switch is up and running in under 8 minutes which is faster than some of the other elements within the truck.”

“The Arista solution is proven and well established within the media and entertainment sector with successful deployments at major broadcasters across Europe. it delivers high performance and scalable capacity while supporting open standards that works well with SDN platforms such as DataMiner.”

“The architecture is designed to cope well with unanticipated issues and we have worked with a fantastically responsive team at Arista to do things which would normally be incredibly challenging with monolithic network operating system architecture - and crucially, while delivering the highest levels of performance and availability for the network.”

“Our needs have changed as ITN has grown and today it is critical for us to be able to adapt to new demands and workflows with flexibility at scale. The move to an IP network is a significant change for us – and it will be with us for a long time – so our scoping project was extremely thorough.”

"At Voxel we needed a high performance infrastructure to exceed our customer requirements that also had to deliver maximum uptime while tying into our operational workflows for our VoxCloud service. Arista switches improved response times and also allowed us to cost-effectively manage our growth with 10GbE at an unbelievable price."

"At Headlands Technologies network efficiencies are critical to our business. The wire speed NAT (Network Address Translation) capabilities on the 7150S shave off 100s of microseconds of forwarding delay, while the reduction in latency on the 52 port switch allows for increased density which is also very important to us."

"Broadcom, a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, is pleased to work with Arista to deliver the Arista 7500, a platform that delivers a perfect combination of high performance, dense 10GbE, low latency, and feature richness built specifically for mission critical data center applications."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"NPL holds the time source of highest accuracy in the UK, participating in the UTC definition. NPL employs Arista 7150S high precision Ethernet switches to deliver its NPLTime® service, which offers a certified time distribution for the financial sector. NPL employs PTP across a network of Arista 7150S, selected for the accuracy of its hardware-based timestamping and OCXO, providing highly precise and stable PTP time distribution, hence preserving the highest precision timing towards the organizations and customers that receive a certified precise time signal, directly traceable to UTC and independent of GPS."

“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.”
