By Tarry Singh at 19 June, 2009, 2:26 am
Well Cisco is now in the hot seat as Citrix continues to apply pressure by joining hands with networking vendors such as Vyatta and now Arista.
To address the explosive scale of networking requirements within Cloud Services, Citrix Systems (NASDAQ:CTXS) and Arista Networks – founded by industry veterans Andy Bechtolsheim and David Cheriton – today announced that they are working together to deliver cloud networking solutions for large datacenter and cloud service provider environments. As part of this partnership, the two companies will test and integrate the Citrix NetScaler® VPX™ virtual appliance with the Arista 7000 series switch. This achievement marks a key milestone in a partnership to deliver a cloud networking solution marrying wire-rate, high density 10G switching with proven L4-7 application delivery services.
In addition, Arista Networks has joined the Citrix Ready™ partner program, which helps customers identify third-party solutions that add the greatest value to the Citrix Delivery Center™ and Citrix Cloud Center (C3)™ product families. Demonstrating the strength of the Citrix and Arista partnership, the two companies are co-sponsoring an upcoming seminar, titled “Cloud Computing: Your Apps are Ready, How About your Network?” Headlining this high-profile event are industry veterans from Citrix and Arista, including Klaus Oestermann, general manager and group vice president of the NetScaler Product Group at Citrix, and Jayshree Ullal, president and CEO of Arista. In addition, leading experts from NetApp, Yahoo, Dell and others will share their insights on cloud computing during an interactive panel discussion. The seminar will be held on June 30 at 2:00 p.m. (PST) at the W Hotel in San Francisco. To register for the event, please visit the Citrix website.
