12:55 PM: Simplifying Campus Operations w/ CVaaS

Learn how Arista's network management platform, CloudVision, streamlines and optimizes the day-to-day tasks involved in managing and maintaining a network. CloudVision achieves this by shifting away from traditional, manual, device-by-device configurations to a more automated, centralized, and intelligent approach, often described as a "Modern Network Operating Model".

1:25 PM: AGNI Hands-on Demo

Arista AGNI - which stands for Arista Guardian for Network Identity - is a next-generation, cloud-native solution for Network Access Control (NAC). It's built on Arista's CloudVision platform and leverages AI/ML to simplify and secure the onboarding and management of users and devices on the network. Attendees will have an opportunity for a hands-on experience to learn firsthand how this solution works.

1:55 PM: Designing for a Scalable, Always-on Network

In this session, we’ll describe the key aspects of Arista's differentiated approach to the unified campus edge, which includes a portfolio view of all campus products: wired/wireless provisioning, security, monitoring, quality of experience, and location capabilities as they apply to carpeted campus and specialized use cases in healthcare, industrial and higher-ed. In addition, we'll introduce all the campus access products, including management and identity. It will also include a summary of the various campus solutions enabled by third-party partners leveraging intelligence from the Arista network.

3:10 PM: SSU Demo

In this session, we'll demonstrate how a key feature of Arista's Extensible Operating System (EOS) enables network maintenance - particularly software upgrades - with minimal to no impact on application traffic. Arista SSU (Smart System Upgrades) is a cornerstone of Arista's approach to delivering highly available and operationally simple networks. It's about ensuring that the network can evolve and be maintained without becoming a bottleneck or source of downtime for critical business operations. See it in action!
