I. Arista Networks Introduction

Arista Networks Introduction
2004 2008 2018 2020
Arista founded First products put on the Acquired Mojo Networks (WiFi Acquired Big Switch Networks
market solutions) and Metamako (ultra low (cloud network monitoring)
latency switch)
Arista recognized as a leader and

visionary 6th year (2015-2020)
INDUSTRY RECOGNITION
➔ 7000+ Customers (25%

Fortune)
➔ 1 Operating System
➔ #1 switch vendor in

Introducing Arista Networks…
• Google RFP 100K non-blocking 1G network

• Nobody can provide HW solution with open SW
• Google started its own NOS on Merchant Silicon
• Andy Bechtolsheim -- HW genius,

- Google’s first $10K cheque angel investor,
- Founder of SUN, Granite (Cisco Cat4K)
• Found Arista to develop SW only Extensible OS

Introducing Arista Networks…
• Google built ToR and Spine switches on top of

Broadcom
• DC is 100% built by its own HW+SW
• Arista spent 4 years to build EOS from Linux

• Treat the switch the same as server
• SW only concept is too new to be adopted
• Jayshree joined to build HW+SW solution
• Started an earthquake in HFT High Frequency Trading by

II. Arista Universal Cloud Network

Key networking drivers we see…
• Automation everywhere…
- Zero Touch Provisioning
- A ‘DevOps’ day 2 provisioning mindset – APIs vs CLIs
- Elastic capacity in the data centre
- “Cloud-bursting” on demand
• Deterministic, predictable performance, with many types of workloads
- Virtualized compute
- IP Storage
- “Big Data”
- Data centre interconnection
- Peering
• System wide reliability – “Failure is not an option”
• Deep and comprehensive visibility
• Openness – no lock-in and rapid evolution of solutions

Datacenter/POD Interconnect & Scaling

BGP EVPN DCI Main Considerations and Drivers
Scale: Single overlay if less than lowest ToR Resource (~30-50k hosts), 200’s of VTEPs
Organization Drivers: Data-centers different domain administration/teams
Cost of DCI Links: Restrict/Control DCI traffic (Layer 2 BUM Traffic), Layer 3 Routing
Operational : Co-Lo/DCI links dictate hand-off: VLAN, MTU, Layer 3 Routing Protocols
DCI Solutions Need to Be Simple and Open

EVPN – DCI MPLS Interconnect Standards
• IETF Draft for Interconnecting VXLAN to the WAN for DCI

- The draft-ietf-bess-dci-evpn-overlay-10 is based on a GW model
- Integrating EVPN-NVO DC with existing MPLS/VXLAN/PBB WAN deployment via GW
• Decoupled Interconnect GW solution • Integrated Interconnect GW solution*

- EVPN overlay and the WAN providers are different entities - EVPN overlay and the WAN providers are a single
- A simple VLAN/PW hand-off – similar to previous slides, operational domain
between the two nodes
- Translation between the forwarding planes and potentially
- Clear demarcation point in the infrastructure control plane in a single node
- Solution when DC and WAN providers are different entities - Support for multi-homing for Active-Active resiliency
- Data-plane learning on the interconnect - End-to-End MAC mobility & ARP suppression (EVPN-MPLS)
