EOS CloudVision

Arista has pioneered the networking industry with its software driven cloud networking approach built on top of Arista EOS® with programmable interfaces, publish-subscribe state separation, resilient fault containment and self-healing attributes. CloudVision® extends the same architectural approach across the network with a state-based view of the entire network, across private, public and hybrid clouds. This enables customers to move to cloud-class automation without needing significant custom internal development. CloudVision is a network-wide approach for workload orchestration, workflow automation and real-time telemetry as a turnkey solution for Cloud Networking.

Why choose Arista CloudVision?

CloudVision’s abstraction of the physical network to this broader, network-wide perspective allows for a more efficient approach for several operational and network telemetry use-cases, including the following highlights:

• Centralised representation of distributed network state, allowing for a single point of integration and network-wide visibility and analytics
• Controller agnostic support for physical and virtual workload orchestration through open APIs such as OVSDB, JSON and Openstack plugins.
• Turn-key automation for initial and ongoing zero-touch provisioning, configuration management and network-wide change management, including automated upgrades, network rollback, and network snapshots.
• Compliance Dashboard for Security, Audit and patch management
• Real-time state streaming for network telemetry and analytics, a modern approach to replace legacy polling per device
• State Repository, Analytics engines and Telemetry Apps to provide an unprecedented level of granularity in real-time monitoring and historic network state for forensic troubleshooting
• Cloud Tracer™for visibility into the availability of network interconnects and services across private, public, and hybrid cloud environments
• Macro-Segmentation Service provides automated and seamless service insertion and integration with partner security platforms
