Arista Networks, Inc (NYSE: ANET), an industry leader in data
driven client to cloud networking, today announced a new network
observability software offering merging network infrastructure
performance and data from compute and server systems-of-record to
deliver keen insights into application and workload performance
across data center, campus, and wide area networks.
Arista’s CloudVision® Universal Network Observability™ (CV UNO™)
system, available as a premium feature license on Arista
CloudVision, enables the automation of network, systems, and
application/workload visibility, coupled with AI-driven proactive
analysis and prescriptive recommendations, which significantly
reduces human error, accelerates issue resolution for unforeseen
events, and provides precise root cause analysis of network events
and their impact on application delivery.
“Bringing together multiple network domains with full
application visibility and troubleshooting will streamline network
operations and improve uptime and reliability. Disparate operating
systems and lack of consistent data models across networks have
made delivering systems with this degree of visibility previously
impossible,” stated Zeus Kerravala, Principal Analyst at ZK
Research. “Moreover, in an era characterized by stringent
regulatory compliance, cybersecurity and observability throughout
the enterprise is no longer optional but rather an essential
imperative.”
A Novel Network Observability Solution
CV UNO delivers unique systems-level capabilities to reduce
enterprise risk, allow rapid fault detection and correction, and
simplify cross-functional coordination, hastening time-to-recovery
whether the root cause was network, platform, systems, or
application-related. Key benefits include:
Workload Application and Infrastructure Discovery: CV UNO
automatically discovers applications, hosts, and workloads across
various platforms and IT systems of record and inventory management
systems. This holistic data, coupled with CloudVision’s deep view
of the networking state within Arista Network Data Lake (NetDL™),
CV UNO, presents a composite picture of the entire network and
application environment. Additionally, it builds an
application-to-network graph that is continuously refreshed and
stored in time series to show a historical record of the
environment’s evolution and state at any point in time.
Proactive Risk Analysis: With real-time
application-to-network graphing, CV UNO enables proactive risk
analysis as part of the change management workflow,
cross-referencing, and impact analysis of network issues and
anomalies. Potentially disruptive network changes can be assessed
for their impact before being deployed into production and
mission-critical networks.
Realtime Network Change Impact Analysis: CV UNO also
delivers deep analysis and machine learning to this composite
dataset within NetDL that can determine when network provisioning
or state changes have affected business and critical applications.
When a network change disrupts an application’s performance, CV UNO
automatically identifies what change impacted which application or
workload and empowers the network engineering and operations teams
to remediate the issue quickly.
Host or Application Change Impact Analysis: In the
case where a host or virtualization issue is impacting application
performance and the network remains unchanged, CV UNO, without
deploying any host-based agents, is also able to quickly direct the
operator or engineer to the accurate root cause of the issue,
thereby reducing the resolution time and cross-functional
coordination for the operations team.
Topology-Aware Determination: By aggregating a holistic
view across all infrastructure systems, virtualization machines,
systems of record, and network flow and state data, CV UNO can
accurately determine the root cause of application performance
issues, avoiding the common finger-pointing associated with legacy
approaches.
“Our customers have been demanding a composite system that
provides seamless observability across network domains, prevents
human errors, rapidly identifies root cause issues, and aids
network engineers and operators to troubleshoot application
performance issues,” stated Douglas Gourlay, VP and GM, Cloud
Networking Software. “Arista’s Universal Network Observability,
built upon Arista EOS® and CloudVision platforms, fulfills this
critical client need.”
CV UNO Offerings and Availability
CV UNO consists of the following components:
- CV UNO Sensor collects, normalizes, and curates
flow/SNMP data from various sources like VMware vCenter, DANZ
Monitoring Fabric, and third-party network devices and forwards
them to NetDL.
- CV UNO, enabled via a premium feature license,
integrates into and enhances CloudVision’s operational and network
telemetry capabilities by leveraging Machine Intelligence-based
Analysis on data stored in NetDL to infer topology-aware
correlations across events, changes, and anomalies, thereby
accelerating root cause analysis and expediting issue
resolution.
- CV UNO Recorder Node (optional) adds packet capture,
query, and packet replay capabilities to support intrusion
detection, incident response, and forensic use cases.
- CV UNO Service Node (optional) enables advanced packet
processing functions, like end-to-end application latency analysis
and DPI-based Application Identification and classification.
- CV UNO Analytics Node (optional) enables distributed
context-aware traffic analysis and machine learning capabilities
for large-scale optimization.
Arista’s CV UNO has been in active customer trials with general
availability as a premium option on CloudVision scheduled for Q2
2024.
