Arista Networks

Arista Networks builds software-driven cloud networking solutions used by some of the world's largest data centers and cloud providers. The company serves more than 10,000 customers worldwide, spanning hyperscale data centers, cloud providers, enterprise campuses and infrastructure built for AI workloads. Its technical work concentrates on cloud networking, network operating systems, network automation, observability, security and data-driven networking.

Two products sit at the centre of the portfolio. EOS, Arista's network operating system, is designed around automation, observability and security. CloudVision is a platform for automating, observing and securing network infrastructure. Both are applied at what the company describes as massive-scale deployments.

The firm was founded by Andy Bechtolsheim, Ken Duda and David Cheriton, and describes engineering excellence as its foundation. It brings together engineers and networking professionals in an environment built on collaboration, technical depth and continuous learning, and gives staff autonomy to tackle complex networking problems. The company characterises its culture as data-driven and organised around automation, observability and security, while retaining the agility of a startup despite its position as an industry leader.

Arista maintains a global customer base and places a strong emphasis on deep customer relationships. More information is available at arista.com.
