But Arista is probably half the price of Juniper so that doesn't make much sense.

- SkipperCat 3y agoBut Arista only has switching hardware and a few other specialty devices (L1 switches from their Metamako purchase). Vendors like Juniper offer load balancers, firewalls and everything else you need for managing a data center or company.
- JackSlateur 3y agoLoad balancer, firewalls and everything else you need for managing a data center or compagny are virtual machines It has been years since those features are best served via a general-purpose CPU Those appliances are nothing but a rebranded servers with some more-or-less interesting software
- SkipperCat 3y agoTrue, but a lot of companies want to source it all from a single vendor so they can talk to one entity when dealing with configuration/integration issues. Its not how I roll but it is how a lot of big companies operate.
