188 Arista Networks Testimonials

“Our need for network devices that could process 400 Gbps of traffic at a wire rate limited our options to the major vendors. Arista Networks offered not only a high level of cost performance but also gave us the ability to use a transceiver supporting fiber optic transmission multiplexing. This support was important to us because it satisfied our need for a long-distance, high-speed connection.”

"Working with Arista's EOS™ network telemetry architecture our Riverbed® Cascade® Shark and Riverbed® OPNET AppResponse Xpert™ application-aware network performance management solutions provide critical insight into the real-time and historical performance of virtual and physical workloads. With our combined technologies, Riverbed and Arista provide IT operations with actionable insight into the factors that determine the success of cloud-based data center architectures."

“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."

"For us the future is a fully 100Gbps architecture, so our plan is to bring the next generation of Arista kit back into our labs and put it through its paces – and we know that behind us we have the Arista engineers and support team that are simply awesome!"

“Our network was starting to reach its limits of scalability – and was not well suited to a more virtualised environment as it lacked native support for VXLAN. and we know that as things get more difficult to manage, the risk of failure rises – and this is not acceptable for us.”

"The critical requirements for the network in the data center have been changing - Intel's Nehalem processor, Solid-State Storage, mobile Virtual Machines, and the ever increasing demands for space, power, and cooling have stressed the data center past a breaking point. The Gigabit Ethernet network of yester-year is waning in capability to support this new IT Infrastructure and with 10GbE coming built into servers, and a near-term future of 40Gb and 100Gb Ethernet it is time for the networking industry to take the same order of magnitude performance steps forward that the server and storage market have. The Arista 7500 modular switching platform is the first of its kind built to support this next-generation of networking requirements where high-density 10GbE is the default connectivity, Ethernet is lossless, power efficiency is critical, and space is at a premium."

"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."

“IG is a rapidly moving business using modern software development methodologies, however, the legacy infrastructure was becoming the obstacle. The test of a successful infrastructure is that it should be invisible to everyone. With the legacy architecture this was not the case; there were numerous service disruptions and any changes made were cumbersome. However, since simplifying the design and deploying Arista we have not had one single service disruption. In addition, the IT team now have their weekends back!”

"We are effectively running the Arista switches as the core networking switches and so far we have had no issues around the latency or reliability. The cost per port is around a quarter of what anybody else could match, even with educational discounts, and we are using only 26 of the 48 ports giving us plenty of scope to grow."

“We looked at a bunch of solutions. I was blown away by the price point, features and functionality we were going to get with Arista cloud-managed WiFi. Other wireless solutions didn’t have all the functionality; they did a part of what we were going to address with Arista, but at a higher cost.”

“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.”

“Some of our new digital services demand more throughput from the network and our existing switches were also reaching end-of-life, so it made sense to think about redesigning our network from the ground up.”

"The decision to go with Arista also gave us an opportunity to revaluate our architecture and start to take advantage of extensibility features within the platform such as buffer monitoring, that offer us more visibility over traffic flow, and to take proactive capacity planning measures to avoid any future issues.”

"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."

"We selected Arista for its known performance and robustness. Being a proven technology in combination with the fact that it runs Linux provides us the flexibility we need in a switch platform supporting a fast changing technology such as OpenStack.”
