CEO Jayshree Ullal has led Arista since 2008, executing the strategy of building the world's most advanced Ethernet switching operating system (EOS, Extensible Operating System) and using EOS's programmability and reliability advantages to win the hyperscale cloud data center market from Cisco — a share gain that created Arista's growth from a startup to a $7B+ revenue company in a decade. Arista's EOS software runs across the entire product family (campus, data center, AI cluster switches) with a single code base and management plane, enabling network operators to write Python scripts and custom automation for every switch in the network from one operating system.
