Arista Software Driven Cloud Networking (SDCN) combines the principles that have made cloud computing the unstoppable force that it is: automation, self service provisioning, and linear scaling of both performance and economics, coupled with the recent trend in Software Driven Cloud Networking that delivers network virtualization, custom programmability, simplified architectures, and more realistic price points. This combination creates a best-in-class software foundation for maximizing the value of the network to both the enterprise and service provider data center. It delivers a new architecture for the most mission-critical location within the IT infrastructure that simplifies management and provisioning, speeds up service delivery, lowers costs and creates opportunities for competitive differentiation, while putting control and visibility back in the hands of the network and systems administrators.
