- ableal 17y agoSmart guys, going for the pickaxe business in the gold rush. The software side is also interesting (EOS, vEOS pages). From http://www.aristanetworks.com/en/products/7500series http://www.aristanetworks.com/en/products/7500series: Arista EOS ... Access hundreds of Linux networking applications
- rbanffy 17y ago"Open network operating system - add your own applications and components" Does that mean I could deploy an app directly on the switch? That would be seriously cool.
- jacquesm 17y agoWhat a brilliant concept. Force10 had better watch out, it looks like this is serious competition for their exascale product.
- tmcw 17y ago...It has 384 ports–think of them like pipes for data–that connect to racks... Seriously? Pipes for data? Sadly, the article does not go on to say ...really deliver 10 gigabits a second... think of a gigabit as a lot of water...
- kierank 17y agoI hope they have learnt the lessons from Vyatta. A solid product which couldn't make it against the networking giants.

- wmf 17y agoIt sounds like Arista only makes the sheet metal and control plane; Dune should really get the credit.
- smutticus 17y agoI'd like to see some comparison with real Ethernet switching companies like Extreme, Brocade or Force-10. Ethernet switching isn't really Cisco's cup of tea. They're OK at it but it's not really what they're best at. Same with Juniper.
- gruseom 17y agoDoes anybody know how active a role Bechtolsheim played in the actual engineering on this? The article makes it sound like he personally worked on the design. If true, that's uncommon for someone in his position and I'm impressed.
- qq66 17y agoHe is definitely the "real deal."
