Bechtolsheim’s Arista Networks Releases A Virtualized Network OS For The Cloud
Andy Bechtolsheim’s cloud computing startup Arista Networks, which sells 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches aimed at handling the loads at cloud-computing data centers, has launched a new product today called vEOS (virtualized Extensible Operating System) Software. The software sits on top of their switches and glues physical, virtual, and cloud servers, using VMWare.
Arista’s Network’s switches act as a link between those physical servers in corporate data centers, virtualized servers, and the cloud. With vEOS, IT organizations can now move workloads from physical servers to virtual machines and to cloud infrastructures while maintaining segmentation, trust boundaries, and policy control.
