Hyperscale cloud providers are driven by the need to cost-effectively and rapidly roll out new services and features to their customers. Microsoft, for example, stated at a Cloud “State of the Union” event in October of 2014 that they deployed 300 major new features and services on Azure in the preceding 12 months–an average of 6 per week. This level of innovation requires not only rapid new feature velocity from network infrastructure vendors, which Arista EOS provides, but also the ability to customize IT workflows and program the infrastructure directly. While our EOS architecture is state of the art today, we are constantly investing in our core infrastructure to provide the capabilities required for building modern cloud networks. New use cases in Cloud and Service Provider networks and hybrid cloud deployments in Enterprises require on-going upgrades and extensions to our state oriented architecture. Arista has evolved EOS forward by extending SysDB into NetDB™, enhancing scalability, visibility and control on a network-wide basis, all while staying true to our core values of reliability, open standards and programmability
