Our use cases for Arista Networks Platform are extremely agile, such as in command control centers in smart cities and in particular defense systems, where minimum latency will cost you many hazards in terms of security protocols. Fractional latency is something we always try to minimize, and Arista core and spine platform always gives you the maximum possible latency minimization. It is the fastest that is available and, of course, the most premium.

For video-related workflows with production workflows, we prefer to go for that kind of ecosystem. An ecosystem means that the switch is not blocked because of jumbo frames access from video editing. We have a huge throughput, almost 50 or 70 megabytes going to and fro per port, which means 100 Mbps speed required thoroughly without any static failures; otherwise, there will be rendering issues somewhere down the production line.

If somebody is using a Da Vinci 5 robotic automation for an operating room, there is an enormous amount of criticality in doing that operation. When you lose connectivity, the patient will die, so they will always go for an Arista fabric; they will never go for any other fabric.

My main use case for Arista Networks Platform is using it for campus network. I use Arista Networks Platform for campus networking, including core switch, distribution switch, POE switch, non-POE switch, and everything. Plus, I am also using Arista access point, so latency is very low in Arista. I am using 25G and 10 by 25G switch, so it is very good. Latency is very good, plus cost is also very good.

I currently use Arista products, including Arista wireless solutions like CVQ and Agni solutions, which come with a AAA server, as well as ClearPass from Aruba. I am using Arista Networks Platform for wireless connectivity, specifically for OT devices, IoT devices, guest users, and corporate users authentication.

We are still using Arista Networks Platform as system integrators. We sold the product and my customer is using this product.

Mostly we sold Arista Networks Platform in data centers where customer core applications run on this platform.

We integrate Arista for our clients.

I have worked with deploying Arista Networks Platform in data center environments, particularly for spine and leaf architectures. The configurations involved Zero Touch Provisioning, which went very well.

My use cases are very peculiar and not typical because I use Arista Networks Platform as a backbone for a MIDI setup in an audio production studio, so it does not have anything to do with enterprise or transactions.

Regarding analytics in Arista Networks Platform, I do not use any of the complicated features; I just have it working with a few ports with my MIDI setup.

For my use case, my needs are really tiny. I consider my use as personal; it is not even a business at the moment.

Arista Networks Platform is used most often for access points and switches. When setting up an organization or infrastructure with Arista Networks Platform, we advise customers to purchase Arista for best coverage and switches. We deploy the switches to their data centers when setting up infrastructures.

Arista Networks Platform's access points and switches serve as our main use case, with switches utilized for the data center and access points deployed for internet access across workspaces and team members in different businesses.

Arista Networks Platform's access points are deployed more frequently compared to the switches. For example, we deployed a wireless LAN for a bank CEO in Nigeria at his house, and the access point deployment proved quite interesting because everything is managed in the cloud, which is unique when it comes to the deployment implementation for the access point.

This represents mostly the use case that we have within our company, especially when deploying Arista Networks Platform products.

My main use case for Arista Networks Platform is network security, network wireless, and network. Regarding a specific project where Arista Networks Platform helped me with network security and wireless, we had a project for a client to ensure wireless connectivity across the whole organization and we employed the use of Arista wireless APs. That was the use case for wireless.

We are using Arista Networks Platform for operations like switching, routing, and monitoring in our network systems.

The primary use case for Arista is data center networking. We utilize it to meet certain application requirements, specifically those needing low latency.

I use the solution in my company's data center, so I use ethernet switches.

I used to use Arista Networks Platform as it was deployed in a big data center.

The solution is used in my company to ensure that we have access to the switches.

Arista Networks is my go-to for network security at work. It is excellent for controlling access, blocking malware sites, and managing web filtering to keep users focused.

At my current job we have a requirement to use only Arista switches, which I have been using for about a year now, even though I have more than 15 years of prior experience in Cisco security switches.

We are using Arista Networks products in data centers and we typically use VXLAN and BGP EVPN in our customer networks. We also use Cisco's BGP EVPN as well, but we have found that the configuration of Arista products is much easier compared to Cisco products. The Arista products are extremely stable and we hardly ever see any problems, whether with the hardware or the software.

Most of the time, we will use Arista's BGP EVPN and VXLAN features, which are very similar to Cisco's features, just simpler and easier to understand especially when throwing together advanced configurations.

We use Arista products not only because they are so stable, easy to adopt and configure, but also because they have high throughput ratings (e.g. 40 / 100 / 400 gigabits), making them very scalable. In my country, most companies that need high throughput generally prefer Arista products.

All the Arista switches we are using are on-premises and I generally interact with them through the CLI, as I prefer not to use features such as Cisco's CDP. I work solely from my tablet, such that when our customer needs work on configuration, I use my tablet to prepare and code the configuration requirements in order to test them out.

As part of my team, we have one member who works on Arista products professionally, while about four of my other colleagues are responsible for the integration of each Arista product that we use.

In the broadcasting industry, I use Arista extensively for production trucks, especially with media involved like video and audio. Arista switches have excellent PTP support. I also find Arista useful in setups such as Spine-Leaf architectures in networks, where each port on the device acts as a gateway.

Arista Networks Platform is used for non-blocking switches. We are using them in the data centers for spine-leaf connectivity. There are servers hooked to these switches.

In my previous job, I used the solution to make connections, remove connections, to work plans, plan for the future, et cetera. We had a big Cisco router with 9,000 connections and we were connecting and disconnecting. I wasn't the person directing the equipment so deeply, as I wasn't a member of the network team. I was a member of the broadcasting and distribution team. This solution was used largely for making physical connections. 

It basically is the switching room platform for both of our data centers. We've got two private data centers in California.

We are fully upgraded, so we are running the latest version of this solution.

We use the solution for networking infrastructure and network detection.

We use the solution to provide multi-layer switches for the networks in our client's data centers, the majority of whom are based in the banking sector.

We use the Arista Networks Platform for our data center features.

We are manufacturers for certain storage platforms and we have our own storage software for enabling GPU clustering. We work more in the video segment. We have our own solutions that we put on that particular cluster which enable a remote workspace management portal for people who are into content. We don't generally provide solutions for micro-level storage customers that are dealing with your retail data or the like. We specialize in macro-computing, video analytics, audio/video editing solutions, editing over the cloud, and remote editing of spaces. It's a very specialized platform.

We set up a private cloud architecture for customers. There are certain customers who are large-scale photo editors, video editors — companies like BBC — that are in the content business. They don't want their content to be on multi-user platforms. They want to have control of their platforms. We have a solution where they can have a YouTube-like experience, but it's totally private. We have very bespoke solutions for media-related mining.

We use it more like a complete network operations center.

The solution is primarily used for colocation services, as an extension for various platforms, and also mainly for new setups of data centers. They've played a role in top-of-the-rack features and also for data center extensions like VXLAN. 

We have users that use Arista for their financial software testing due to their low latencies.

It's our main platform. We centralize all network functionalities inside of our hospital network in two locations. From the data center to the distribution level.

In the past year, we have implemented this solution in two new hospitals. Arista is on the core and distribution layer, so our experience is approximately six core units and 36 lead switches of Arista and the pooling layer three overlays that they are providing.

We are using the most recent version, the release tracks had some overlap. Arista is suggesting a change to the release track.

Arista has been in our network since we started the new hospital building in August.

We are striving to exchange all existing hardware with Arista.

We use three different models of the 7000 series switches to make up the network in one of our data centers. We use the 7060SX as an active leaf, the 7260 as a border leaf, and the 7500 series as the spines.
