Arista Networks Integrations

In today's digital landscape, adopting a zero trust networking strategy is essential for organizations aiming to establish a strong cybersecurity framework. This approach emphasizes the need for complete oversight and control over every device, application, or user accessing enterprise resources. Arista’s principles of zero trust networking, aligned with NIST 800-207 guidelines, enable clients to tackle these challenges through three foundational elements: visibility, ongoing diagnostics, and enforcement mechanisms. The Arista NDR platform provides continuous diagnostics across the entire enterprise threat landscape, analyzing vast amounts of data, detecting anomalies, and responding to threats in mere seconds. Unlike traditional security measures, the Arista solution is engineered to replicate the workings of the human brain, allowing it to identify malicious activity and adapt over time. This innovative design enhances the ability of security professionals to gain deeper insights into existing threats and formulate effective response strategies. As cyber threats evolve, leveraging such advanced technologies becomes increasingly critical for maintaining organizational security.

Furthermore, this platform empowers organizations to enhance their operational efficiency and maintain control over their IT assets effectively.

Converged Cloud Fabric (CCF)™ represents an automated networking solution designed with principles rooted in cloud technology. By utilizing VPC/VNet frameworks on-premises, CCF provides a Network-as-a-Service operational model tailored for the cloud. This innovative fabric streamlines networking across various private cloud environments, allowing the network to function alongside the rapid pace of virtual machines and containers. Equipped with advanced analytics and telemetry, CCF offers real-time visibility and context throughout the network fabric, along with one-click troubleshooting features. As a result, teams in NetOps, DevOps, and CloudOps can work together more efficiently, enabling swift onboarding of applications and tenants. CCF empowers both mainstream and midsize enterprises to position networking as a fundamental element of their digital transformation initiatives. Furthermore, with CCF's self-service networking capabilities and contextual insights, NetOps teams can redirect their efforts towards innovative projects, such as developing new services and enhancing analytics, rather than being bogged down by repetitive manual processes. This shift allows organizations to stay competitive and agile in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

CloudVision represents a sophisticated, multi-faceted network management system that adheres to cloud networking principles, focusing on telemetry, analytics, and automation. It is tailored for diverse environments such as data centers, wired and wireless campuses, multi-cloud infrastructures, and routing scenarios, offering a uniform operational framework that aids enterprises in streamlining network management by dismantling conventional silos. By abstracting the physical network into a comprehensive, network-wide viewpoint, CloudVision enhances the efficiency of various operational tasks and telemetry functions. The platform features turn-key automation capabilities through CloudVision Studios for both initial setup and ongoing management, including Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) as-a-Service, configuration oversight, and holistic change control processes, which encompass automated updates, network rollbacks, and snapshots. Additionally, it facilitates real-time state streaming for telemetry and analytics, presenting a contemporary alternative to outdated polling methods that operate on a per-device basis. This modernized approach not only improves operational efficiency but also empowers organizations to respond more dynamically to network conditions.
