Arista Networks Acquires Broadcom's VeloCloud SD-WAN Portfolio

Arista Networks has announced several AI-driven enterprise products that deliver an expanded set of switching, Wi-Fi 7 access point, and WAN capabilities. In conjunction, Arista acquired the VeloCloud SD-WAN portfolio from Broadcom. This combination of innovations will bring operational ease through zero touch operations, proactive monitoring, and automated troubleshooting across the broad set of client-to-cloud networking domains. As organizations seek real-world business value from generative and agentic AI, they are adopting centers of data strategy that connect the algorithms/models to key, distributed data stores across the enterprise–from the data centers to the campus, and to the branches and remote offices. Reliable networks that are always on, easy to operate, and with built-in security are, therefore, more important than ever. Arista continues to embrace this challenge with an expanding set of hardware and software solutions optimized for various customer needs. VeloCloud offers leading cloud-delivered SD-WAN solutions with integrated security, complementing Arista's wired and wireless switching portfolio. VeloCloud solutions comprise a range of edge hardware platforms featuring integrated secure firewalling and application-optimized SD-WAN, available with a choice of integrated Wi-Fi and/or 5G mobile connectivity. This portfolio of solutions provides expanded choice and performance for Arista customers, enabling global WAN services to interconnect data centers and distributed campus offices, while complementing Arista's existing CloudEOS routing stack and high-end 7000-series WAN routers. 'We have been using Arista and VeloCloud in production environments,' stated Alan Davidson, CIO of Broadcom Inc. 'The addition of the VeloCloud edge strengthens and scales the enterprise WAN network.' Arista is also introducing the AWE-7220R WAN router with regional connectivity. Together with the previously announced AWE-7230R and AWE-7250R systems, customers can build a hub-spine and VeloCloud micro-edge ​​WAN topology. AI-Driven Campus and Branch Centers Arista's new campus portfolio features advanced PoE capabilities in a compact form factor switch, along with a wider range of cost-effective Wi-Fi 7 indoor and outdoor access points for branch deployments, enabling newer IoT applications, such as ESL (Electronic Shelf Label). Key additions to the switching and wireless portfolio include: A new compact, fanless 12-port PoE switch that is also 60W capable in the 710 family of access switches, designed for remote office and branch deployments. A new ruggedized outdoor Wi-Fi 7 access point, the O-435, designed for harsh industrial and outdoor environments, features a 2×2 tri-radio and a fourth dedicated tri-band multi-function radio. A new entry-level 2×2 tri-radio Wi-Fi 7 indoor access point, the C-400, targeted for cost-effective, high-volume service provider-managed (MSP) branch environments, including SMBs, multi-dwelling units, and small remote offices. Zero Trust Networking for the Branch Arista CloudVision AGNI (CV AGNI) now supports a fully on-premises deployment model, enabling customers with strict regulatory and data compliance requirements to benefit from simple, scalable, and secure AI-driven network access control from large campuses to distributed locations, while the new 1G and 10G virtual ZTX platforms extend Arista MSS identity-based microsegmentation to remote branches and small campuses.
