Boston IT Solutions South Africa, a leading distributor of server, storage, and networking solutions, is proud to announce the availability of Arista Networks' innovative products in the South African / SADC market.

Arista Networks is an industry leader in data-driven, client to cloud networking for large data centre, campus, and routing environments. What makes Arista Network Solutions a good fit for customers is:

  • Arista Routing and Switching solutions are based around their resilient and open EOS (Extensible Operating System) software, paired with tailored hardware designs to fulfil roles across the network, from traditional scalable campus networks to high performance spine-leaf architectures within the data centre.
  • Within Campus and Enterprise environments, Arista Cognitive Wi-Fi solutions allow you to maintain a single-vendor infrastructure, from your data centre network, through to indoor or outdoor client Wi-Fi access, while providing unmatched visibility into your network environments.
  • Arista Network Automation and Telemetry is provided by their industry-leading CloudVision software, which provides a simplified NetOps experience with features such as zero-touch network provisioning across the entire Arista product stack, helping to break down the complexity of siloed management approaches and provide customers with a unified experience.

Arista Networks expressed their high ambition for the partnership with Boston to develop an even stronger Arista Channel ecosystem in the South African / SADC region. They also highlighted the value that Boston will add in terms of skilled pre-sales support, post-sales support, and infrastructure services. They are excited about the ability for Arista Networks to be integrated into more complex solutions like Private Cloud, Networking, AI and HPC.
