When the Network Is the Computer's Backplane
Hyperscalers and trading floors standardized on Arista for a reason: when microseconds and packet loss translate directly to money, you buy the switch built for it. That same pressure is now arriving in ordinary data centers — AI training clusters, NVMe storage fabrics, and east-west traffic that legacy three-tier networks were never designed to carry.
Why Arista?
-
EOS — One OS, Every Switch
A single, unmodified operating system across the whole portfolio. One behavior to learn, one image to validate, dramatically fewer surprises.
-
CloudVision Management
The entire fabric as one system: change control with rollback, real-time state streaming, and network-wide upgrades without maintenance-window terror.
-
Built for East-West and AI
Deep-buffer and low-latency options for GPU clusters, storage replication, and the traffic patterns that melt legacy cores.
-
Quality Reputation
Arista's hardware and software quality record is the industry's quiet benchmark — networks that simply stay up.

The palmiq Edge
Migration Without a Maintenance Weekend Massacre:
palmiq phases leaf-spine migrations alongside your existing core — workloads move when you're ready, not when the cutover forces you.
Sized for Enterprise Reality:
You don't need a hyperscaler budget — a modest Arista fabric outruns most enterprise refresh quotes. palmiq does the math with you.
