My company did not evaluate other options against Arista Networks Platform.

Although I have only used Arista switches for one year so far, I have over 15 years of experience with Cisco switches (especially the security type of switches).

I have previously worked with Cisco solutions. Not deep, but I have some experience with switches and with routers.

I am focusing on broadcasting and broadcasting solutions, broadcasting equipment, and cloud solutions. I have some experience with Azure and Azure deploys using PowerShell, using ScriptRunner, and this kind of stuff.

We were previously using Cisco Nexus switches, Cisco Catalyst switches

We were using Cisco devices. What we really liked about Arista is that they have embraced a more open multi-vendor approach. Cisco is more towards a closed proprietary. After deploying Arista, we saw quite a few congestion issues that we were having with Cisco being resolved.

Most of the equipment that I have used is Cisco, although I have also used Juniper and Cumulus. For this new type of data center architecture, however, we did not use a solution prior to this one.

I've used Cisco and Juniper. I built a network in Juniper, CRP, leaf and spine design, and the same in Cisco using leaf and spine design. I've also used their ACI, which is very cumbersome and complex.

We used Extreme previously.

Depending on the need and requirement, I have worked with different platforms including Cisco, Juniper and some security platforms such as Checkpoint, Fortinet, Cisco ASA and Juniper SRX.

I also have an understanding of Cisco, HP, and Juniper.
