Arista Networks
From Wireless Innovation to Complete Network Transformation
Arista Networks has evolved into one of the most innovative players in enterprise networking. Recognized as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, Arista combines industry-leading Wi-Fi, high-performance switching, advanced security, and AI-driven operations into a single, cloud-native platform.
Our relationship with Arista's wireless technology dates back to 2009, when the company was still known as AirTight Networks. At the time, AirTight pioneered the Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) market with a unique overlay architecture that provided continuous wireless threat detection and protection without requiring changes to the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure.
AirTight later evolved into Mojo Networks, expanding its capabilities with cloud-managed Wi-Fi and AI-driven wireless management. Arista recognized the strategic value of this innovative wireless platform and entered the campus networking market through the acquisition of Mojo Networks. Today, that technology forms the foundation of Arista's highly successful Cognitive Campus portfolio.
Cognitive Wi-Fi – Designed Around User Experience
Wireless connectivity has become the primary access layer for most organizations. Arista's Cognitive Wi-Fi platform is designed to ensure that users receive a consistent, high-quality experience regardless of location, device, or application.
Built on a cloud-native architecture, Arista Wi-Fi combines intelligent automation, extensive telemetry, AI-driven analytics, and integrated security to deliver exceptional performance while simplifying operations.
Key benefits include:
What makes Arista unique is its ability to continuously validate the user experience and proactively identify issues before they impact business operations.
Ask AVA™ – AI-Powered Network Operations Assistant
Ask AVA™ is Arista's generative AI assistant that enables network administrators to interact with their network using natural language. By simply asking questions, IT teams can instantly access insights into users, devices, applications, network performance, and potential issues across the infrastructure. Integrated with CloudVision® and powered by Arista's extensive telemetry data, AVA can perform complex analysis, identify root causes, and provide actionable recommendations for remediation. This significantly accelerates troubleshooting, reduces operational complexity, and minimizes the need for advanced CLI expertise. The result is faster issue resolution, improved operational efficiency, and a better overall user experience.
Enterprise Switching Powered by EOS®
Arista's switching portfolio extends the same operational philosophy that made the company a leader in the data center market.
From access-layer switches to high-performance campus cores and large-scale enterprise environments, every switch runs on the proven Arista EOS® operating system. This single software architecture provides unmatched consistency, advanced automation, simplified lifecycle management, and exceptional reliability.
Organizations benefit from:
The result is a network infrastructure that is easier to manage, more resilient, and ready for future growth.
CloudVision AGNI™ – Identity-Based Zero Trust Access
Modern networks require a security model that extends beyond traditional authentication.
CloudVision AGNI™ (Arista Guardian for Network Identity) delivers cloud-native Network Access Control (NAC), device profiling, policy enforcement, and Zero Trust Network Access capabilities across both wired and wireless environments.
AGNI enables organizations to:
By making identity the foundation of network access, AGNI helps organizations improve security while reducing operational complexity.
Network Detection & Response (NDR)
Cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, making network visibility more important than ever.
Arista's Network Detection and Response (NDR) capabilities provide continuous monitoring of network traffic to identify suspicious behavior, anomalies, and potential security incidents in real time.
Leveraging machine learning and advanced behavioral analytics, NDR helps security teams detect threats earlier, investigate incidents faster, and strengthen their overall security posture without deploying additional complex security infrastructure.
One Platform for Networking, Wireless and Security
What truly differentiates Arista is the integration of networking, wireless, security, and operations into a single management framework.
Through CloudVision®, organizations gain end-to-end visibility across users, devices, applications, switches, access points, and security policies. AI-powered analytics transform operational data into actionable insights, enabling IT teams to become more proactive and efficient.
Whether supporting enterprise campuses, healthcare environments, educational institutions, manufacturing facilities, or multi-site organizations, Arista delivers a modern networking platform designed around performance, security, and simplicity.
From its pioneering roots as AirTight Networks to its position today as a Gartner-recognized leader, Arista continues to redefine what organizations should expect from enterprise networking.
