Novel next generation routing endorsed by
service provider customers
Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET), a leader in cognitive cloud
networking, announced today the expansion of its cloud-grade
routing solutions for next generation network edge roles in the
multi cloud era. Arista’s EOS® (Extensible Operating System)
enhancements for cloud and service provider customers transform
edge and backbone routing, migrating from legacy routers to
software-driven, highly available and scale-out architectures for
faster time to revenue and lower Opex.
The new capabilities for virtual private networking and traffic
engineering enable three additional edge use cases for multi cloud,
metro and 5G RAN based on Arista’s cloud-grade routing
principles.
“Arista has a great record of disruptive innovation. I’m excited
to see how they will disrupt the service provider network
ecosystem,” said Rob Rockell, Vice President, Network Engineering,
Comcast.
Cloud-Grade Routing is the Future Evolution
With a cloud-first approach to modern software principles,
Arista extends beyond the data center to replace routers with
routing. This routing journey began in 2016 with the introduction
of the Arista R-Series platforms addressing use cases in internet
peering, internet exchange networks and Telco NFV data centers. In
2018, Arista’s routing solutions expanded to cover content
distribution networks, provider edge and core routing.
These cloud-grade routing principles drive successful routing
transformations based on leading merchant silicon platforms with
high performance 10G/25G/100G/200G/400G connectivity, open
standards with EVPN, and Segment Routing. Arista’s flagship EOS
software simplifies routing and drives Opex reduction through a
single software train. As a modern networking operating system
without legacy protocol stack baggage, EOS provides a consistent
network-wide automation framework for scalable, secure, and
efficient operations.
Arista’s success in these existing routing use cases includes
service provider and cloud provider customers.
“Arista’s solution allowed us to take a fresh approach to
routing for next generation edge and backbone, reducing the
complexity of protocols, delivering L2/L3 services with EVPN over a
Segment Routing based backbone, along with modernizing the
operations to deliver superior services and experience for our
customers,” explains Mr. Salvatore Sciacco, CTO, CDLAN. “Arista not
only had a technical solution that exceeded our needs but also a
vision and strategy that complemented the future direction of
CDLAN.”
"Arista R-series with EOS has been instrumental in transforming
the MPLS VPN edge, providing 100G density, internet route scale,
stability and manageability,” said Rick Cheung, Senior Network
Engineer, CEN (Connecticut Education Network). “Our relationship
with Arista's responsive advanced services and development teams
feels like an extension of our own and has affirmed our decision to
grow with Arista as the right one.”
“We are delighted to partner with Arista Networks, sharing our
focus on efficiency and experience to build our next generation
cloud edge and routed backbone to accommodate our global networking
infrastructure growth. Arista EOS' rich routing stack allows us to
deliver programmatic traffic engineering in the core with Segment
Routing without sacrificing quality, performance or reliability,”
said Mr. Joe Zhu, Founder and CEO of Zenlayer.
Next Generation Network Edge
With this announcement, Arista enters its third phase of routing
solutions with the simplification of multi cloud edge, metro edge
and 5G edge designs for our cloud and service provider customers.
These key attributes, driving the next phase of cloud-grade
routing, for new edge profiles include:
- Multi Cloud Edge: Demand for public cloud services is
creating the new cloud edge, created by the cloud footprint at the
network edge to deliver services closer to the end customer. Cloud
edges are being built globally, with 100G/400G directly connecting
to the cloud, based on a repeatable Layer 3 architecture, common
software-driven provisioning and programmatic traffic steering, to
deliver uninterrupted service that scales globally.
- Metro Edge: Legacy router designs are degrading quality
and end-user experiences for service providers. To meet the new
bandwidth demand and faster connectivity for E-LINE and E-LAN
services, service providers are upgrading their metro ethernet edge
with Capex efficient, high density merchant silicon-based 100G/400G
routing platforms. Additionally, to achieve Opex efficiency,
service providers are simplifying protocol complexity by adopting a
single protocol for multiple edge VPN services and driving
consistent automation for the metro fabric - the combination for
faster and scalable service delivery.
- 5G RAN Edge: 5G architecture is disaggregating
traditional mobile backhaul, bringing the public cloud footprint in
the RAN (Radio Access Network) for real time localized service
updates. To address bandwidth demand from distributed nodes and a
radically scaled user/device and traffic profiles, 5G edge requires
scale-out repeatable routing design with high speed, high
performance connectivity, a single OS for open standards based
protocols and consistent automation framework across the mobile
backhaul and Multi-access Edge Compute (MEC) deployments, enabling
Opex efficiency and faster time to market for new services.
