After much success in data center switching, Arista Networks is now trying its hand at routing.
The company this week is targeting the incumbency of Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks in Internet routers with a new platform designed to bring the scale, simplicity and workload mobility of data center switching to cloud routing. The Arista 7500R is based on Broadcom’s “Jericho” silicon enhanced with routing code in Arista’s EOS operating system.
