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:
- Predictable performance with 400G of uplinks and a future proof
architecture
- Consistent latency with low jitter for video conferencing and
real-time applications
- Unprecedented levels of resilience with independent switching
and control planes
- Pervasive observability with FlowTracker combined with the DANZ
Monitoring Fabric and Awake Network Detection and Response
(NDR)
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.
