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.
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.
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.

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

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 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.

It is mainly used for Data Center East/West traffic as Arista is the best when it comes to DC design solutions because of its low latency and high throughput port density plus very stable EOS codes and hardware less problematic than most other well-known vendors like Cisco and Juniper and it supports open standard. Another major plus for Arista is the CVP studio which can do both operational support and provisional support with telemery build-in..
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 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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
