“We are so excited about what's happening in networking because the network is absolutely the lifeblood of so many different kinds of operations. And it connects everything together.”
“Look, I have never witnessed the combination of rapid innovation and scale deployment that we are seeing in AI networks. I'd like to call your attention to three innovations, SSU, MRC, and SRV6.”
“Arista is diversifying its business with new customer acquisitions covering a broad set of use cases, all unified by Arista's EOS stack and its ability to modernize enterprise infrastructure operating models.”
“Yeah, look, I think that what we've shown is that in networking, software is tremendously important. That without the right software running across the network, the network just does not have the reliability, stability, flexibility that it needs.”
“Look, the EOS architecture is based on state orientation. This is the idea that we capture the state of the network and stream that state out from the system database on the switches into whatever the cloud vision or whatever system can then receive it.”
