CloudVision® Data Sheet Overview Arista has pioneered the cloud networking movement with its software driven approach, built on cloud principles with consistent, reliable software o ffering, open standards-based designs, and native programmability. CloudVision® extends the same architectural approach of simpli fication through software consistency as a multi-domain management plane for automating the entire network, across private, public and hybrid clouds as well as wired and wireless campus and branch environments. CloudVision enables enterprises to gain the benefits of cloud-class automation and telemetry via a turnkey software package. CloudVision is a network-wide approach for cloud networking, including a software suite of capabilities for automated provisioning, compliance, telemetry, analytics and orchestration. With CloudVision, the physical network continues to operate in a familiar model, following the Universal Cloud Network design principles. The well known control and data plane features continue to be distributed in each physical device. The same command-line (CLI) and APIs are available to the operator. However, CloudVision enhances the traditional operational model with a centralized network data lake, NetDL, that leverages real-time state-streaming to collect an aggregate view of the physical network state. NetDL is built on a cloud-native architecture leveraging scale-out technologies such as Kubernetes and Hadoop and serves as a basis for cognitive analytics. With NetDL, CloudVision becomes the point of abstraction of, and interface to the physical network enabling enterprise-grade network-wide automation, time-series visibility with state streaming analytics, and 3rd party integrations from a central perspective. CloudVision can be deployed as a traditional on-premises virtual or physical appliance, or can be consumed as a SaaS-based service, for both wired and wireless. CloudVision as-a-Service is a fully Arista managed software service that runs in the cloud and provides the same functionality as the on-prem o ffering. The cloud service takes full advantage of CloudVision’s cloud-native architecture helping customers achieve faster time-to-value, elastic scaling, and continuous network assurance with a connected support experience in a secure environment. CloudVision Highlights Cloud Automation for Everyone Arista CloudVision simpli fies complex time and resource intensive tasks in a turnkey software solution designed to help customers move to a more automated, cloud-like infrastructure. Multi-Domain Service Real-time state is streamed from wired and wireless devices from the entire enterprise, from DC to campus to WAN. This state is stored in NetDL ®, a state-based, cloud- hosted, network-wide data lake, enabling cognitive analytics as a multi-domain service. Network Telemetry & Analytics CloudVision brings a modern approach to network telemetry and a replacement for legacy polling mechanisms. AVA TM, Arista’s Autonomous Virtual Assist engine for analytics, takes full advantage of the state streaming infrastructure of EOS and NetDL to give Arista customers an unprecedented level of visibility with a time-series view of the entire network, across data center, campus, public clouds and WAN. NetOps Automation Addressing the spectrum of operator types in NetOps environments, CloudVision includes out-of-the-box, point n’ click automated provisioning, through to integration with CI pipelines. All aligned with Arista best practice designs for a consistent experience. Open API Integrations CloudVision is Arista’s API gateway for physical network integration with third party services. Integrate with network overlay controllers, DevOps platforms and network services solutions such as Palo Alto Networks, ServiceNow and others. Built on modern REST and gRPC-based APIs, to both simplify and scale network integration.

CloudVision | Solution State Streaming Telemetry

  • Modern REST and gRPC-based APIs for scripting and integration CloudVision provides the following features and benefits:

CloudVision | Features CloudVision Solution The CloudVision solution is comprised of three components: CloudVision Portal, CloudVision eXchange, and CloudVision CUE (Cognitive Unified Edge). These components provide the platform for both orchestration and automation for wired and wireless networks as follows: CloudVision Portal is a web platform and associated historical database built to automate the work flows for a variety of network provisioning, change management, and monitoring tasks. Available for on-premises deployments (virtual or physical appliance) as well as cloud service delivery with CloudVision as-a-Service. CloudVision eXchange is a EOS-based network-wide multi-function control point providing a single access point for real- time provisioning, orchestration and integration with third party controllers and services. CloudVision CUE (Cognitive Uni fied Edge) is a centralized management plane that simpli fies policy management, provisioning and troubleshooting of WiFi networks while delivering richer telemetry to network administrators.
