Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET), today announced a new release of
its Cognitive WiFi software that seamlessly delivers intelligent
application identification, performance optimization, automated
troubleshooting and location services. This provides customers with
an enhanced WiFi experience for critical video collaboration
applications and the power of cloud-based AI for rapid problem
resolution.
The enhanced CloudVision® WiFi offers real-time insight into the
WiFi client journey, including the health of collaboration and
video applications delivering optimal WiFi experiences through
analytics and proactive remediation recommendations. Arista’s WiFi
foundation is based on a modern and cloud-based approach unlike
traditional controller-based WiFi legacy networks with
overheads.
"Arista is delivering a cognitive application dashboard for
high-quality Zoom communications across the WiFi campus. This is
assuring our joint customers an elegant client to application
experience," said Janine Pelosi, Chief Marketing Officer at Zoom
Video Communications.
Ease of Automation with OpenConfig
Arista is also among the industry’s first to provide OpenConfig
support for WiFi. This provides an open standards-based solution
for managing, monitoring and baselining WiFi infrastructure via
streaming telemetry. OpenConfig WiFi is a programmatic alternative
to proprietary ways. It enables cloud and network operators to
implement dynamic, scalable and automated WiFi network
infrastructure by adopting the software-defined-networking (SDN)
principles of OpenConfig.
Rich WiFi 6 Capabilities
By adopting the cloud principles of availability, agility,
automation and analytics, the new WiFi delivers the following:
- Automated visibility of WiFi users' experience while using
Google Hangouts, Zoom and Microsoft Team video collaboration
applications, delivering an optimal client to application
experience.
- OpenConfig WiFi innovation for operational efficiency and
scale, providing a standards-based management interface for WiFi
access points.
- Rapid problem resolution with new Cognitive WiFi artificial
intelligence and machine learning capabilities for root cause
analysis on per client or a group of clients accessing an
application and applying remedial action recommendations.
- New Location Services - Track location of any WiFi APs and
clients on a floor; visualize WiFi associations; filter based on
client or user information, or connectivity or performance
issues.
- Built-in Remote Access Point Capabilities
- Easy upgrade for Arista WiFi 6 access points via software
supporting uplink access (with orthogonal frequency-division
multiple access OFDMA) and multi-user uplink (multiple input,
multiple output MIMO) for improved investment protection.
These upgrades enhance IOT users to increase efficiency for high
bandwidth applications like video collaboration assuring the
optimal client to application experience.
“Recent world events have shown the importance of collaboration
solutions and with these new capabilities, Arista is delivering the
power of cloud-based cognitive analytics to identify, track and
protect these critical business applications,” said John McCool,
Chief Platform Officer and Senior Vice President of Engineering and
Operations for Arista.
These enhanced WiFi capabilities are an integral part of the
Arista Cognitive Campus portfolio, bringing a software-driven
approach to unify wired and wireless campus access. It is built on
real-time, data-driven inference engine for intuitive, simple user
and operator experience.
