Arista Networks has acquired the VeloCloud SD-WAN portfolio from Broadcom.
VeloCloud offers cloud-delivered SD-WAN solutions with integrated security, complementing Arista’s wired and wireless switching portfolio. Its solutions comprise a range of edge hardware platforms featuring integrated secure firewalling and application-optimised SD-WAN, available with a choice of integrated WiFi and/or 5G mobile connectivity. This portfolio of solutions provides expanded choice and performance for Arista customers, enabling global WAN services to interconnect data centres 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. “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.
