Our Next Frontier in Cloud Networking

When Arista launched Cloud Networking in 2008, many did not grasp its profound impact. Today it is an industry reality, with 750+ worldwide customers deploying Arista’s cloud network (leaf-spine) design model. As traffic patterns shifted rapidly from north-south client-server to more horizontal east-west server-to-server traffic, the two-tier cloud network was born and became mainstream for modern applications. Even the traditional vendors are validating Arista’s cloud networking vision and execution by using our terminology as they try to articulate their next phase of data center vision.

Reducing the latency that server-based applications experience when accessing data in the cloud is usually the primary driver for building two-tier cloud networks. However, replicating or shuffling data also requires significant any-to-any node data traffic handling to be effective. A well-provisioned cloud network handling any-to-any workloads, and providing high bandwidth, low latency, and uncompromised operational tools brings a sustainable and profitable advantage to our customers.
