Arista's Solutions for Service Providers
The rapid ascent of cloud computing continues to bring about profound permanent shifts in how applications and services are consumed, along with how compute and storage are deployed. In order to monetize on their incumbency and deliver continued customer and shareholder value, Service Providers will need to reexamine all aspects of their service delivery ecosystems, from technology choices and design to capital expenditure priorities, service and support workflows.

Service providers must address:
- Unquenchable demand for bandwidth from cloud applications
- Much lower latency tolerance and network performance driven by the emergence of IoT, smart cities, driverless transportation, and real time augmented and virtual realities
- Ever-expanding cyber-security threats that will continue to pose considerable threats to modern societies
