Arista Enhances Cognitive Campus Portfolio
November 2, 2020
Broadened Cognitive
Campus Lineup Today’s campus networks are
evolving to support the growing variety of endpoints including WiFi6
access points, mobile technology and IoT (Internet of Things)
devices. These trends are driving the need for increased performance
and power efficiency of the network infrastructure to deliver both 5
and 10G connectivity with 25G and 100G wire rate uplinks. Migrating
from 10G to 40G is expensive and challenging due to recabling costs
where 25G is a cost-effective option and 100G delivers the highest
performance. To address these challenges, Arista is introducing
the 750 Series systems, the first 100G ready, high-density 1G to 10G
modular PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches, built for security,
modern IoT and real-time telemetry and the 720 Series 96 port. “ShotSpotter provides near real time acoustic
gunshot detection and precision-policing solutions to help prevent
and reduce gun violence. For us resilience and performance are key.
Lives are on the line,” said David Halliday, head of Information
Systems at ShotSpotter Inc. “Arista Cognitive Campus solutions
provide cutting edge switching to our Incident Review Center and
offices. These enterprise switches give us excellent availability
and cutting-edge performance while integrating smoothly with our
existing data center infrastructure.” Pervasive Encryption for Data Confidentiality Campuses are evolving from dedicated offices to
smart workspaces with communal-shared, collaborative places. This
drives the security needs from perimeter to end-to-end encryption.
Campus networks require a zero-trust model with secure segmentation
and dedicated encryption to avoid snooping through third party IoT
or BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). The Arista 750 Series supports security using
industry standards-based MACsec encryption and EVPN/VXLAN
segmentation. Each and every access port from 10Mb to 10G supports
256-bit encryption to secure communications between devices.
Finally, all supervisor uplinks also support encryption for secure
connectivity to the enterprise network. Cognitive PoE Capabilities The 750 Series delivers a rich suite of cognitive
PoE capabilities including continuous, concurrent and dynamic PoE, a
critical aspect of next-generation campus deployments addressing the
proliferation of users, devices, end-points and IoT systems. 750 Series Innovations Customer benefits include: Simplified Cognitive Campus Design The networks that support today's enterprise
workspaces continue to suffer from too much complexity brought on by
the myriad platforms, operating systems, proprietary features and
network management tools from incumbent vendors. Responding to new
trends such as the growth of IoT, the impact of malware and COVID
working conditions, these brownfield networks do not have the
pervasive security or operational agility to handle these trends and
are in need of a refresh. The Arista Cognitive Campus is an AI-driven
approach to unify wired and wireless campus access built on
real-time, data-driven analytics, delivering a great user and
operator experience. The Arista Cognitive Campus is built on the
standards-based Arista Universal Cloud Network (UCN) architecture
based on proven
Arista EOS®
(Extensible Operating System) control plane and
CloudVision®
management plane software for consistent operations across network
domains. Availability The Arista 750 Series and 720 Series 96 port
switches are shipping in Q4 2020. |
