Arista Networks

We deliver software-driven cloud networking solutions for large data centers, campuses, and routing environments. Our platforms offer availability, agility, automation, analytics, and security. We provide products that support Ethernet speeds from 10 to 100 gigabits per second, including CloudVision CUE for scalable control planes. We also offer network observability through DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF), Wi-Fi solutions, and low-latency platforms.

We’ve grown our data-driven, client-to-cloud networking capabilities through acquisitions. In 2025, we acquired VeloCloud® SD-WAN for AI-driven campus and branch networking. In 2022, we acquired Untangle to introduce Arista CUE™ (Cognitive Unified Edge) for security and networking consolidation, and Pluribus Networks for 4/5G networks. Earlier acquisitions include Awake Security (2020) for network detection and response, Big Switch Networks (2020) for monitoring, Mojo Networks (2018) for Wi-Fi, and Metamako (2018) for low-latency platforms.
