Business Need:
Faced with evolving business needs and the imperative to support a wide array of services, the Client embarked on a strategic initiative to modernize its datacenter infrastructure. Recognizing the limitations of the legacy Juniper tiered architecture, the organization transitioned to a Spine-Leaf design to substantially enhance security, scalability, and performance. This architectural shift was essential for delivering robust support to modern workloads across multiple datacenter locations. To achieve these goals, the Client selected Arista Networks’ datacenter switching solutions and sought a trusted partner to provide expert guidance in both the design and migration planning, ensuring a seamless and successful transition.
Solution Overview:
Wired360’s Datacenter Network team partnered with the incumbent IT services provider to deliver expert guidance throughout the design and migration process. Wired360 worked in close partnership with the client to thoroughly assess the existing environment, design a sophisticated Arista L3 EVPN Spine-Leaf architecture, and develop a phased migration strategy focused on minimizing downtime. This comprehensive approach included deploying Arista’s CloudVision framework for automation, integrating VXLAN for seamless Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity, and implementing high-performance, redundant spine leaf switches to maximize scalability, resiliency, and network visibility. A robust testing and migration playbook, combined with ongoing skills transfer during the proof-of-concept phase, empowered the client’s team to independently migrate two additional datacenters.
Outcome:
The transition to Arista’s L3 EVPN Spine-Leaf architecture significantly elevated the client’s datacenter network by delivering enhanced scalability, superior performance, and robust redundancy. Automation through Arista’s CloudVision framework streamlined network operations, reducing complexity and operational overhead. The new design efficiently supports high-volume east-west traffic and enables seamless integration between on premises and cloud environments, positioning the network to accommodate future growth and evolving business needs.
