Topics Covered

Building AI Network Fabrics

The aim of this presentation is to cover the following key questions and help demystify the building of high-performance networks in order to empower research organisations, service providers and enterprises to build their own AI networks. 

  • Why is networking for AI different than traditional networking?
  • What are the networking technologies for AI networking?
  • What do these AI networks look like?
  • What are the Arista platforms for AI networking?

Advances in Cognitive Campus

During this session, we will look at the latest technology advances in Campus networking from Arista (wired and wireless). We will also provide updates on recent and upcoming enhancements to Arista's NDR, AGNI and MSS along with a review of the latest Arista hardware platform and new EOS and CloudVision features.

Zero Trust Networking

Zero trust assumes there is no network perimeter & based on the “Never Trust Always Verify” approach, that requires organizations to continuously monitor and validate all users, devices, and applications against appropriate access privileges and security policies to explicitly allow only trusted traffic. In this session, we will explore how Arista's NDR, AGNI and Multi-Domain Segmentation Service (MSS) work together to deliver a next generation Zero Trust Networking solution that also aligns with the NIS2 Directive.

Arista TAC - Best in class

Join us for a session on Arista's Technical Assistance Center (TAC), where we will explore why Arista TAC is widely recognized as best in class within the industry. This presentation will provide a thorough introduction to Arista TAC, detailing its operations, unique advantages, and how it sets the benchmark for technical support.

10 years of EVPN

As we celebrate the first decade of EVPN we will consider how this set of protocols has evolved to become the key architectural foundation for building robust, scalable data center networks. We will also see how the many advantages offered by EVPN are now being exploited to deliver improved performance and resilience to both campus and service provider networks. To conclude the session, we shall consider how some of the future enhancements in development will consolidate EVPN as the key networking technology for the next 10 years, and beyond.

Automation with CloudVision and Arista Validated Designs

The primary purpose of this session is to cover the evolution of Arista automation with Cloudvision and Arista Validated Designs (AVD). We will also demonstrate how AVD is used in conjunction with Cloudvision to build, document, test and operate your network. With this workflow, users can take advantage of the completeness of AVD to build their Day-1 network configuration and documentation and the new CloudVision quick actions features and change management to improve agility and reliability during Day-2 operations and implement a modernized network operating model.

Network Observability

The purpose of this session is to provide an overview of the Arista DMF solution and to share information on key recent developments. We will also provide an introduction and demo to CloudVision Universal Network Observability (CV UNO), which gives unparalleled insights into application and workload performance across data centers, campuses, and wide area networks.

Campus 101

This session will cover what a campus is, the high level network architectures for campus and the basics of specific campus technologies like Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), Wifi and Network Access Control.
