Enhanced Features for High Performance Networks

The Arista 7010X series deliver a suite of advanced traffic control and monitoring features to improve the agility of modern high

performance environments, with solutions for data monitoring, and next-generation virtualization.

Automating the data center enables customers to dynamically provision computing resources in the most efficient manner while also

meeting business needs by maintaining service level agreements (SLAs). Arista EOS automates complex IT workflows and simplifies

network operations while reducing or even eliminating downtime. Arista EOS rich automation capabilities not only reduce the human

error element in network operations but also enable IT operators to make the network work the way they want.

CloudVision

CloudVision is a network-wide approach for workload orchestration and workflow automation as a turnkey solution for Cloud

Networking. CloudVision extends the EOS publish subscribe architectural approach across the network for state, topology, monitoring

and visibility. This enables enterprises to move to cloud-class automation without needing any significant internal development.

EOS Licensing

Arista 7010X Series with EOS and CloudVision, are designed to provide flexibility both in the choice of the appropriate feature

functionality and in the software consumption model. The base feature set of Arista EOS comes bundled with the Arista products and

systems. A set of feature licenses are available to enable additional functionality in advanced feature sets. The traditional licensing

procurement model employs a perpetual term for the right to use the feature, set at a fixed price. For Arista CloudVision the

functionality is available as a monthly subscription, for an agreed upon term.

Routing: General Routing functionality (BGP, OSPF, Multicast, etc) is available in the EOS Enhanced (E) license. The EOS Flex-route (FLX)

Lite license expands that to include key features like BGP-EVPN for VXLAN. 

Automation/Visibility: CloudVision is the most complete offering for advanced automation and visibility. Arista also offers subsets of

CloudVision Lite, for entry-level GUI functionality. CloudVision is offered as an on-premises appliance (virtual or physical appliance) or as

a SaaS-based software application that is fully managed by Arista. The EOS V2 license includes capability to run custom extensions

natively or via containers in EOS. In addition, the V2 license gives customers an option of integrating with Arista’s best of breed

ecosystem for security, analytics, visibility, and other use-cases.
