Arista’s Cognitive Campus extends the power of the AI Center to the entire enterprise—from Wi-Fi 7 access points to the industrial edge. By utilizing a single operating system and a unified "data lake," we’ve eliminated the complexity of traditional wireless controllers and manual security rules. Discover how Arista’s "single-brain" philosophy—powered by Agentic AI (AVA) and Zero-Trust Identity (AGNI)—provides sub-second failover and seamless scale for over 500,000 clients. Learn how to achieve data-center-level reliability across your entire campus while radically simplifying your day-to-day operations.

This session explores how Arista achieves true network autonomy by treating your infrastructure as code. With this approach your company can move from complex manual configurations to a holistic, code-driven architecture where your "as-built" network always perfectly matches your "as-intended" design. Learn how the synergy between Arista Validated Designs (AVD), the NetDL Data Lake, and CloudVision creates a continuous feedback loop. We will demonstrate how this "single source of truth" model enables predictive analytics and self-correction—identifying potential issues and "gray failures" before they ever lead to an outage.

This session demonstrates how Arista eliminates these gaps by baking security directly into the network fabric and how to identify malicious intent—even within encrypted traffic—without the need for invasive decryption or complex endpoint agents. Learn how AI-driven analysis (AVA) and Zero-Trust identity (AGNI) work together to act as a virtual security analyst, correlating billions of events into clear, actionable "Situational Awareness." We’ll explore how micro-segmentation can neutralize threats in real-time and how our "forensic look-back" capabilities allow you to investigate past threats with total historical clarity.
