“Arista’s Any Cloud platform transcends public and private clouds,
radically changing the on-premises enterprise datacenter. We are helping
customers realize their hybrid-cloud transformation by extending Arista
EOS and CloudVision across network boundaries,” said Jayshree Ullal,
President and CEO for Arista Networks.
Cloud Principles Migrate Enterprise from PINs to PICs
Arista’s Universal Cloud Networking (UCN) delivers common cloud
principles for simplified networking topologies and architecture across
use-cases. As siloed Places-In-the-Network (PINs) of the legacy
enterprise are normalized to become standardized Places-In-the-Cloud
(PICs), Arista’s UCN provides a consistent experience and simplifies the
model for enterprise customers to extend workloads from their own
datacenters into the public cloud.
Arista
EOS® (Extensible Operating System), deployed and proven in the
world’s largest datacenters and cloud-scale networks, is the center of
the Arista Any Cloud platform. With vEOS Router, Arista EOS is now
supported across multiple hypervisor and cloud deployment platforms. The
same proven single EOS software image that runs across all of Arista’s
products, vEOS Router extends a consistent operational model of the
customer’s existing Arista datacenter network deployments. The vEOS
Router leverages the existing cloud-grade routing stack and includes new
enhancements, such as IPSEC VPN tunnels, to securely interconnect
workloads across multi-cloud deployments. In addition, vEOS Router is
integrated with cloud provider APIs to enable seamless deployment,
automation, analytics and end-to-end visibility.
"Disparate places in the network are evolving to an inclusive
software-defined cloud. Aiming to simplify hybrid and multi-cloud
adoption for its customers, Arista's approach to Any Cloud is compelling
in extending cloud networking with operational consistency across a wide
range of use cases," said Brad Casemore, Research Director, Datacenter
Networks for IDC.
Cloud Tracer for Hybrid Cloud Visibility
Arista CloudVision also supports these new hybrid cloud use-cases, with
a turnkey approach to automation, telemetry and orchestration services
needed to support multi-cloud inter-connectivity in a single cloud
experience. Network-wide upgrades and rollbacks can be automated at
scale, reducing downtime and disruptions caused by manual error. Hybrid
cloud troubleshooting time is reduced with historical event correlation
across use-cases, driven by EOS real-time state streaming combined with
CloudVision analytic engines and visualization apps. In addition,
Arista’s new Cloud Tracer assures that visibility and availability
metrics are tracked consistently across the entire hybrid cloud
environment, including public cloud direct connections, remote
datacenter connections and cloud exchange points.
Arista Any Cloud Ecosystem
The Arista Any Cloud platform is designed to support any public or
hybrid cloud environment, including Amazon
Web Services (AWS), the Microsoft
Azure cloud platform, Microsoft
Azure Stack, an extension of Azure, Google
Cloud Platform and Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure. Support in each environment is coupled with
validation and registration of these solutions in the cloud marketplace
infrastructure provided by each cloud provider, thus making deployment
simple for the enterprise customer.
This platform will be further enhanced by integration with the Equinix
Cloud Exchange™, which provides direct high-performance connections
to 70+ cloud providers. With Arista EOS and CloudVision platforms
integration, Equinix customers will leverage the same consistent cloud
networking tool set in yet another cloud network use-case.
With the Arista Any Cloud solution, enterprise customers can now deploy
a reliable and secure multi-cloud experience with a common Universal
Cloud Network approach across all of the places in the cloud. This
enables IT organizations to harness dispersed cloud resources anywhere
for better availability of services and applications across any cloud,
any workload and any location.

The new components of the Arista Any Cloud platform will be available in
Q4’17, including vEOS Router for hypervisors (KVM and VMware ESX) and
