Arista’s Service Provider Opportunity

Introduction of Arista’s cloud networking approach and how it is addressing Service Provider transitions. Anshul describes how Arista’s foundation in spine / leaf network designs for the cloud data centers transitioned into the WAN interconnect roles for Arista’s ethernet switches. With the demand for high speed ethernet in the WAN, Arista’s ‘switches’ were pulled into ‘routing’ roles. This demand combined with the more capable merchant silicon chipsets and an investment in modern routing software (protocols, APIs, etc) has allowed Arista to address broader use-cases in routing roles.
