Arista 7500 - Sets New Standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet Networki MENLO PARK, Calif., April 19, 2010 – Arista Networks today introduced the Arista 7500, a revolutionary switching platform for maximizing data center performance, efficiency, and overall network reliability. The Arista 7500 is the highest performance and most power efficient 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switching platform available. It was specifically designed to address the most demanding customer requirements for cloud computing, virtualization, and mission-critical data centers. The Arista 7500 has 10 terabits per second of switching capacity and 384 wirespeed L2/L3 10GbE ports in only eleven rack-units. "Cloud Networking requires a new class of scale, price/performance, and resilience previously not addressed with existing modular switches,” emphasized Jayshree Ullal, president and chief executive officer of Arista Networks. Arista’s First and Flagship Modular Switch The Arista 7500 runs EOS, Arista’s Extensible Operating System. State of the Art Design for Modern Data Centers
Disney, Verizon go green in the data center Network World - Energy efficiency in the data center is a top priority for Disney and Verizon, technology executives from the companies said last week. But the industry is still in the early stages of understanding how best to measure effectiveness, they said. Disney has a companywide goal to reduce electricity consumption by 10% between 2006 and 2013, and the data center has to play a big role in achieving that objective, says Denis Weber, director of IT critical facilities infrastructure for the Walt Disney Co. Five tools to prevent energy waste in the data center For Disney, energy efficiency is being achieved through a series of small improvements, Weber said in an interview with Network World. "Some of it just comes down to cleaning the facility up," Weber says. Disney and Verizon officials discussed their energy efficiency programs at the New York Stock Exchange last week during an event hosted by the Green Grid industry consortium. "Are you trying to make it cooler or hotter?
