Universal spine architecture key to
implementation
Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) today announced that it is providing
network platforms for SK Telecom’s 5G network. SK Telecom will be
building a high capacity leaf-spine based data center network
environment leveraging VXLAN/EVPN for virtualization, scalability
and availability, providing customers with reliable high-speed
network services.
SK Telecom commercialized its 5G service in December of last
year for the first time and intends to apply Mobile Edge Computing
(MEC) for an efficient IT infrastructure expansion plan in line
with its service expansion. Accordingly, in a bid to provide
high-capacity data transmission services reliably, it reviewed
introducing high-speed network switches capable of supporting
25GbE/100GbE or higher, as well as the existing 10GbE speed. Arista
switch platforms are expected to become key elements of the network
infrastructure as they provide reliable services, efficient network
management and real-time monitoring features.
“By installing Arista Networks' network switches optimized for
5G in our infrastructure, we have been able to provide high-quality
5G services quickly and reliably to our customers,” said Se Wook
Kim, Manager for SK Telecom's Core Engineering Team of Infra Eng
Group at ICT Infra Center. “Arista Networks also offers prompt and
expert support services appropriate for our business
characteristics, for which reliable service operation is essential.
In the future, we intend to work together to proceed with network
infrastructure upgrades in accordance with our 3G service
expansion,” he added.
“We are delighted to be working with SK Telecom to deliver a 5G
open architecture with programmable automation that will scale to
support their customers,” said Mark Foss, Senior Vice President,
Global Operations and Marketing for Arista Networks.
Arista Networks is providing SK Telecom with universal spine and
leaf network switches, combining routing and switching to reduce
complexity and significantly improve scale without compromising
performance at speeds of 100+Tbps. In addition, Arista's network
switches enable functionality such as 100GbE aggregation, large
routing tables, high resiliency, hybrid cloud traffic patterns,
lossless connectivity and real-time monitoring in a single chassis,
meeting the requirements of commercial, private and hybrid
clouds.
At the core of this solution is Arista EOS® (Extensible
Operating System), simplifying network operations with single image
consistency, Smart System Upgrade (SSU) and integration with
existing networks resulting in time and money savings. CloudVision®
extends this approach by delivering a consistent telemetry and
automation system for the entire network across private, public and
hybrid clouds.
