Arista Networks
NYSE-listed maker of high-speed data-center and AI back-end networking switches powering large GPU/accelerator clusters for AI training and inference.
Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE: ANET) is a US networking company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, founded in 2004 by Andreas Bechtolsheim, David Cheriton and Kenneth Duda. Arista designs and sells high-bandwidth, low-latency data-center and campus networking switches and routers, and pioneered the spine-leaf two-tier architecture now standard in large data centers. Its platforms run a single, programmable network operating system, Arista EOS, and span a full stack of hardware, operating system, network data lake, telemetry and visibility, automation, AI agents and security. Arista is increasingly central to AI infrastructure: its R4-series and 7700R4 Distributed Etherlink Switch platforms target AI back-end networks, with the Distributed Etherlink Switch scaling to support over 30,000 400GbE accelerators in a single-hop distributed system that delivers deterministic, lossless forwarding to minimize AI job-completion times.
The company has joined the 1.6 Tb/s switching generation aimed at AI-centric architectures and continues to release platforms built for low power consumption and integrated security across AI, data-center and routed-backbone deployments. Arista EOS provides programmable automation through eAPI and integrations with tools such as Ansible, Puppet and Chef, plus zero-touch provisioning. While Arista does not build robots, its switching fabric is core AI-infrastructure that interconnects the GPU and accelerator clusters underpinning modern AI and machine-learning workloads, including the perception and learning models used in robotics and autonomous systems. The company had its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2014 and serves cloud, enterprise and AI data-center customers worldwide.
