Subject: Arista optics
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to get buy-in to go with Arista for some new infrastructure, but=
the Arista optics just aren't in the ballpark for us at "proof-of-concept"=
volume. In Cisco-land, we've had great success using Finisar optics, and t=
hey've been an easy "sell" to management since many Cisco optics are just r=
ebranded Finisar's.
The relevant Arista optics I'm looking at are QSFP-100G-LR4 and SFP-10G-LR.=
Does anybody know what supplier(s) manufacture these optics for Arista? Al=
ternatively, does anyone have any experience using third-party comparable o=
ptics (especially the 100G) in the battlefield?
Since optics sales are pretty cut-throat, I do ask that you disclose if you=
have a financial interest in any of your suggestions.
Thanks!
Alex Forster
