188 Arista Networks Testimonials

"Accelerating today's data centers requires joint efforts at the storage, network, and software layers. Arista’s impressive Arista 7500 10GbE switching platform is well positioned to take full advantage of the application performance made possible by servers using Fusion’s new tier of flash-based memory. We are looking forward to working together to change the way systems in the data center are architected to meet tomorrow's growing I/O performance needs."

“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.”

“It became clear that only two vendors had the 100G density and performance that we required for a project of this scale, However, the key advantages that prompted us to select Arista were its superior performance, deep integration with our chosen Nevion SDN architecture and the Arista professional services team that provided expertise across the scope of the project.”

“The implementation has provided us with the flexibility and adaptability we need to meet our users’ evolving demands while ensuring long-term sustainability. This innovative approach paves the way for new services and applications in our research community.”

“We also liked the fact that the Arista EOS is the same across all the switches, it’s easy to operate and low maintenance. Another benefit was the centralised orchestration capability which was very powerful.”

"At Joyent, we're working to make the entire data center into a unified, fully programmable computing platform. Our cloud computing technology allows thousands of companies to meet the needs of modern high-scale applications, including instantly managing variable load, scaling resources on demand, and re-architecting in real time. We're proud to partner with Arista in bringing the Arista 7500 10GbE switching technology to market providing our customers with increased network performance while enabling security, density, stability, and flexibility that is not available in any other environment."

“The Arista EOS is absolutely critical as it allows us to embed our custom software in each switch to detect and block issues like denial of service attacks and other threats in the most efficient manner.”

“We worked well as a team. We went from proof of concept to migrating nearly 95% of our infrastructure in just a few months without any unplanned outages and only minor issues that were quickly resolved through simple configuration changes."

"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."

“The three keywords of the project were modular, scalable, and flexible – and the last part, flexibility, is something that is really now translating into remote production as well.”

"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."

"The network is critical to maintaining the services our customers depend on. With Arista EOS and the Arista 7300 platform, we will be able to automate and program our network, ensuring high availability and uptime while also reducing our operational costs."

"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."

"I’m excited by Arista’s 7500 chassis because it makes very large Enterprise Data Cloud deployments much simpler. It extends the incremental ‘top of rack’ approach with a 384 wire-speed ports aggregation switch, enabling a flat 10 gig network for tens of thousands of compute and storage nodes."
