Description of technology

NAC

GUARDIAN FOR NETWORK IDENTITY (AGNI) - a NAC solution that provides user and device identity services for connections from any location. Built on Arista’s flagship CloudVision platform, AGNI delivers scalability, simplicity, security for users and their endpoints, as well as IoT device management.

NDR

AWAKE SECURITY PLATFORM - a solution for continuous network traffic analysis, device identification, behavioral and intent-based event detection, and automated response to threats. Awake Security identifies all devices on the network, classifies them, and detects behavioral anomalies. It uses distributed machine learning to build models based on decentralized data, significantly reducing false positives. SENSORS – ensure continuous monitoring and visibility across the network. Physical or virtual sensors ingest copies of traffic for analysis either directly or via a Network Packet Broker (NPB). AWAKE NUCLEUS – interprets monitored behaviors, detects attacker tactics, techniques, and intent, and performs forensic and automated analysis for rapid incident response. AVA – delivers actionable incidents and visual reports, enabling faster understanding and response by security teams.

Network Packet Broker

DANZ MONITORING FABRIC - a next-generation Network Packet Broker solution for monitoring traffic in enterprise, data center, and service provider networks. It supports advanced filtering based on Layer 2–4 headers, deep inspection, and traffic modifications such as deduplication, payload removal, header stripping (for unsupported monitoring tools like NDR), and masking of sensitive data (e.g., credit card numbers or passwords).

Network routers

DEDICATED ROUTING PLATFORMS - designed for building large-scale WANs in enterprise environments.

ETM EDGE DEVICES - multi-function platforms for smaller organizations, combining routing, firewall, and IPS capabilities to support distributed enterprises.

UNIVERSAL ROUTING PLATFORMS - high-performance, scalable systems with advanced routing features, used in large data centers and telecom operator networks.

Network switches

CAMPUS SWITCHES - modular (7U and 10U) and non-modular (1U or 2U) models with PoE (802.3af/at/bt), designed for enterprise LAN environments. They support core, aggregation, and access layers, with client bandwidth ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps and uplinks from 1 Gbps up to 400 Gbps.

MODULAR SWITCHES - extremely high port density and performance, maximum redundancy, flexible interface options, and expansion with line cards. Primarily used in core networks aggregating access switches.

NON-MODULAR SWITCHES WITH LARGE PACKET BUFFERS - compact (1U or 2U), with buffer capacity up to several GB. Ideal for demanding environments such as Big Data, distributed databases, and high-performance IP storage.

NON-MODULAR SWITCHES WITH SMALL PACKET BUFFERS - compact (1U or 2U), offered in a wide range of models with various interface options. Commonly used as top-of-rack (ToR) access switches.

WLAN

CLOUDVISION CUE - a centralized management platform for wireless network configuration, access points, and security policies. CloudVision CUE leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect anomalies, report issues, and classify connectivity problems in real time, identifying the root causes of failed connections. With tools such as automatic packet capture and wireless client emulation, it significantly accelerates troubleshooting and resolution of client connectivity issues.

WI-FI - a complete enterprise wireless solution providing secure access to corporate resources with 802.1x authentication and seamless integration with leading NAC solutions such as Aruba ClearPass, ForeScout NAC, or Cisco ISE.
