EGUARDIAN Hosts Arista Cloud Builders Session for Industry Leaders
EGUARDIAN Lanka, Sri Lanka’s leading value added IT distributor, recently held a knowledge sharing forum for their customers at the Taj Samudra. Over 120 participants from finance, telecom and software were brought together to understand how they can adapt their businesses to evolving needs in a shifting tech landscape by utilizing Arista’s SDN and NFV technologies. The focus of the session was the innovative cloud building solutions from Arista.
The forum covered a full range of technical topics based on transforming businesses and gave practical demonstrations of the groundbreaking features of Arista’s patented EOS (Extensible Operating System), which is becoming a game changer in the industry.
Arista’s EOS is a disruptive technology that embraces open system architecture to allow users more flexibility and the ability to scale to hundreds of thousands of compute and storage nodes with management and provisioning capabilities. Through its programmability, EOS enables a set of software applications that deliver workflow automation, high availability, unprecedented network visibility and analytics and rapid integration with a wide range of third-party applications for virtualization, management, automation and orchestration services.
Arista’s solutions, representing the highest density, smallest footprint and lowest power consumption of all the major switching vendors, reduces the complexity and risk of cloud computing as the world moves to such platforms to achieve better agility and economy. Additionally, Arista’s reference designs provide innovative ways to build, manage and scale data centers, driving down both capital and operational expenditures.
“As technologies evolve and business processes become more complex we are seeing that the cloud, and the cost effective flexibility it provides, is fast becoming a necessity for innovative and daring organizations. Hence events like this are vital in spreading the latest advancements in the field of cloud computing and how best it can serve businesses. As Sri Lanka takes its place in the global market it is important that local businesses take advantage of every competitive edge so that they might compete on a global scale. Local customers, too, will benefit from the added convenience and security,” said Naleendra Weerapitiya, Head of Technical – EGUARDIAN.
