Arista has added significant new capabilities in its CloudVision platform, enabling a modern network operating model for customers. CloudVision is said to simplify operations with automation, observability and zero trust security capabilities across all enterprise networking domains. This uniform approach helps enterprises save operational expenses by removing traditional network operational silos while delivering reliable and resilient networks.
CloudVision is a multi-domain management platform that eliminates the burden of different network operating models forced on customers by traditional network vendors. Instead, users benefit from consistent network design, automation workflows, troubleshooting techniques, and expertise across network domains.
This modern network operating model is derived from Arista’s experience with the largest cloud service providers, who demand the highest quality, reliability and lack of downtime. CloudVision is democratising these cloud principles and making them available to customers of all sizes, reducing the cost of network operations, increasing network uptime and improving security.
Built on Arista’s unified Network Data Lake (NetDL) architecture, CloudVision aggregates data from the entire enterprise in one location for advanced automation and analytics and applies predictive insights via Arista Autonomous Virtual Assist (Arista AVA). This multi-domain approach, expanded with domain-specific capabilities, addresses the needs of the end-to-end enterprise modern networks.
CloudVision established its foundation in the data centre, addressing comprehensive network operations tasks for engineers responsible for operating mission-critical data centrr environments. State-streaming telemetry continues to give the data centre operator unmatched visibility for faster mean-time-to resolution and automated compliance reporting. Arista Validated Design (AVD) driven DevOps pipeline integrations automate the deployment of large network configurations.
CloudVision’s latest feature set includes holistic 360-degree observability by integrating application and third-party data into Arista’s NetDL. CloudVision Universal Network Observability (CV UNO) leverages advanced machine learning for event correlations across topology-based, time-based and function-based dimensions. CV UNO drastically accelerates issue detection, inference and resolution, ensuring faster and more precise troubleshooting of application-related problems.
CloudVision continues the expansion into the enterprise campus with new guided workflows that address the broader enterprise operator personas. These prescriptive workflows simplify end-to-end operations of campus networks, enabling the operator to efficiently build networks, including day zero pre-provisioning and day one onboarding as well as speeding up day two operations such as making port changes, adding/removing networks, or running diagnostics for quicker troubleshooting.
CloudVision also uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to ease network management and provide faster problem resolution. CloudVision’s Ask AVA capabilities allow the operator to ask CloudVision natural language questions, enabling network operators of all levels to navigate the platform and quickly find exactly what they need.
CloudVision has expanded further to the enterprise WAN network domain. WAN operator dashboards combine telemetry data for all interconnect networks, uniquely providing a single, end-to-end operational view across the enterprise.
CloudVision Pathfinder modernises WAN management and provisioning, aligning the operating model with visualisation and orchestration across all network transport domains. This enables a shift from legacy CLI configuration to a model where configuration and traffic engineering are automatically generated, tested, and deployed, resulting in a self-healing network.
Enterprise-wide zero trust networking across multiple network domains requires a flexible identity-based microsegmentation service enforced in the distributed network. CloudVision delivers multi-domain orchestration and monitoring services of zero trust policies based on microperimeters, with dedicated, easy to use security dashboards to manage the end-to-end microsegmentation lifecycle across the enterprise. The service integrates with the broader Arista Zero Trust Networking solution, including Arista CloudVision, CV AGNI and Arista NDR. It also integrates with firewalls such as Palo Alto Networks, IT service management such as ServiceNow, and virtualisation platforms such as VMware.
