Arista buys Pluribus Networks to offer Unified Cloud Fabric
By MYBRANDBOOK
Arista has announced the acquisition of Pluribus Networks which provides the former a jumpstart on its Unified Cloud Fabric.
Earlier in March, Pluribus declared that it would evolve its Adaptive Cloud Fabric, a software-based VXLAN overlay to manage multiple data centers, or select racks, pods, server farms or hyper-converged infrastructures from one interface into a more efficient product called Unified Cloud Fabric. By offloading networking functions to an Nvidia Bluefield-2 DPU on the server Pluribus planned to achieve greater operational efficiency. Functions to be offloaded included Layer 2 and 3 underlay network connectivity, VXLAN tunnel encapsulation, BGP EVPN and multi-tenant segmentation.
will revamp the Pluribus Unified Cloud Fabric technology into a new offering, also called Unified Cloud Fabric. Similar to the Pluribus plan, Arista's Unified Cloud Fabric will run a software-defined network across switches, routers, compute servers and accelerator DPUs to provide real-time analytics across the fabric and faster troubleshooting when working across multiple domains. According to the company’s blog post, Arista still plans to use the Nvidia Bluefield-2 DPU for the project and sees telco operators of 4G/5G networks as its target market.
With this acquisition Arista intends to enter the telco market. Since 2016, Pluribus has partnered with Swedish telecommunications infrastructure and software vendor Ericsson on network fabric for NFVI deployments.
"Pluribus is a great acquisition for its talent and technology, and to help us build and bring more capabilities to the Unified Cloud Fabric," said Jayshree Ullal, Arista Networks president and CEO, during the vendor's second quarter 2022 earnings call on Monday. On the call, Ullal also announced Arista had recorded its first billion-dollar revenue quarter in May through July.
Arista has not announced the cost or timeline of the acquisition, nor what it means for the more than 140 Pluribus employees.
