Re: How hard to replicate?
It sounds like Arista with EOS is able to better plug in to a software-defined future. At least for now.
That't great if you want to take shots at Cisco. I think that company knows it needs to move past traditional routing. The M&A conducted suggests it knows already.
Re: How hard to replicate?
Hmm. I'm not so sure that a unified platform is always an advantage. Sure, it can make some things simpler-- but usually it also makes doing more complex things harder, too. Some users want the flexibility to have multiple systems instead of a unified platform. To each their own...
Re: How hard to replicate?
They could do that -- and are. But Cisco and other legacy players still have multiple platforms to support. Arista is touting its unified platform as a competitive advantage.

Re: How hard to replicate?
I don't think it's any different than what other vendors are doing, and in some cases Arista is just now adding features other vendors have had for years now.
How hard to replicate?
I wonder how hard it would be for Cisco (or anyone else) to modify their existing systems with a software update to allow for a similar strategy of expansion -- or a hybrid version.
