## Products & services

Arista’s product portfolio is anchored by EOS (Extensible Operating System), which the company describes as a modernized publish-subscribe, state-sharing network operating system that, together with network applications and Ethernet switching and routing platforms, forms its core hardware/software stack. Its hardware families include R-series, X-series and Etherlink switching and routing platforms, while its AI-focused Etherlink platforms are positioned as high-performance, low-latency, fully scheduled, lossless networking for AI environments. Arista also highlights Cluster Load Balancing in EOS and CloudVision AI/CloudVision Universal Network Observability as software for AI job-centric troubleshooting, visibility and performance operations.[3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-06558160953c465f935b94ee3853993f)[12](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-1ea30cf1c6e94c71af411ca472cd0ec6)[13](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-cba04de828884148b7793251d71eb0db)[14](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-630595a558864880a8a3211d54b7e003)[15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-5b2936d3cef145a4a455b37da584d7aa)

Software and service offerings include CloudVision, a multi-domain AI Ops and management platform for zero-touch operations across data center, campus wired and wireless, routing interconnect and multi-cloud networks, and NetDL, which aggregates streamed device state, telemetry, packet, flow, alert, sensor and third-party data into a single network data lake. Arista also offers CloudEOS for multi-cloud and cloud-native networking, DMF (DANZ Monitoring Fabric) for packet-broker and monitoring-as-a-service visibility across physical, virtual and container environments, AGNI as a cloud-delivered AI-driven network identity service, and A-Care support services for expert assistance and case management.[19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-0164ea14ec0c44028ef2035b5c66ccfa)[20](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-376ac246f2474861a2e7c76cff3ec58c)[21](https://www.arista.com/en/solutions/hybrid-cloud)[22](https://www.arista.com/en/products/danz-monitoring-fabric)[23](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-63bb21891bd342e086c89325d9770192)[24](https://www.arista.com/assets/data/pdf/A-CareServicesOverview.pdf) In 2024, product revenue was $5.884 billion, or 84.0% of total revenue, while service revenue was $1.119 billion, or 16.0%; Arista also said revenue was approximately 65% Core, 18% Cognitive Adjacencies and 17% Software and Services.[9](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T-5588c3b836f642e7b5cfacb6688f0119)[25](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-b533ae467cae47c18e004043a2c2eb85)

## Geographic presence

Arista Networks is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with its principal executive offices at 5453 Great America Parkway, Santa Clara, California 95054. The company leases about 180,000 square feet for its corporate headquarters there, and it also leases office space for data centers, operations, sales, and research and development in the United States and in international locations including Ireland, Canada, India, and Australia. Its leased data center footprint specifically includes the United States, Ireland, and Australia. [26](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-994dc3de83c1470a963a29037c9adb8f)[27](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-b99ff52799b443fe994b133a1769b2c6)

Sales are geographically concentrated in the Americas. Arista states that revenue by geography is based on customers’ shipping addresses. In 2024, the Americas accounted for $5.729 billion, or 81.8% of total revenue, while Europe, the Middle East and Africa contributed $713.2 million, or 10.2%, and Asia-Pacific contributed $560.9 million, or 8.0%. The same pattern held in prior years, with the Americas representing 79.4% of revenue in 2023 and 79.0% in 2022, indicating that the company’s revenue base has remained heavily weighted toward the Americas, with smaller but meaningful contributions from EMEA and Asia-Pacific. [28](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-e5134a7b3afe48bcb80508be69cabd43)[29](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T-c0569e50cb3448bab2fc62914ed44878)[10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T-00b610d6cd4d49d49bc0f3344d932bcf)[30](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T-754e5781154a44328d42197608661c50)
[26](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-994dc3de83c1470a963a29037c9adb8f)[27](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-b99ff52799b443fe994b133a1769b2c6)[28](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-e5134a7b3afe48bcb80508be69cabd43)[29](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T-c0569e50cb3448bab2fc62914ed44878)[10](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T-00b610d6cd4d49d49bc0f3344d932bcf)[30](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T-754e5781154a44328d42197608661c50)

## Business segments

Arista Networks does not report multiple operating business segments. It states that it develops, markets and sells cloud networking solutions and has determined that it operates as one reportable segment, with management reviewing performance on a consolidated basis rather than by separate segment lines. [31](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-50b96edeb7a144fb8c4008851ac7eabd)[32](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-647fdbeed3554a55b65e493f5a279319)

Because there is only one reportable segment, the main official breakdown is revenue disaggregation by type. Product revenue primarily consists of switching and routing products and related network applications, while service revenue is primarily from PCS contracts and renewals. In 2024, product revenue was about $5.88 billion, or roughly 84% of total revenue, and service revenue was about $1.12 billion, or roughly 16%. [33](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-8d8b6cfb813d49c8bb137b3c093705a1)[9](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T-5588c3b836f642e7b5cfacb6688f0119)

Arista also discloses revenue by geography, although these are not separate operating segments. Based on customers’ shipping addresses, 2024 revenue was approximately 82% from the Americas, 10% from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and 8% from Asia-Pacific.

## Company history

Arista Networks was founded in November 2004 by Andy Bechtolsheim, Ken Duda and David Cheriton.[4](https://www.arista.com/en/company/quick-facts)[11](https://www.arista.com/en/company/company-overview) The company launched in 2008, when it introduced Arista EOS and began shipping its first commercial switching products; Jayshree Ullal was appointed president and chief executive officer later that year.[4](https://www.arista.com/en/company/quick-facts)[2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-d32422030cce43a1a5fac47c5a526bab)[34](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-2e0ada671a294930bb768d4cd183dcf2)[35](https://www.arista.com/en/company/news/press-release/142-pr-20081023-00) In 2010, Arista introduced its 7500 Series modular switching platform, and the company has said it has been profitable and cash-flow positive since that year.[36](https://www.arista.com/en/company/news/press-release/280-pr-20100419-01)[5](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-c294272eb3534ca9b0fc5515d3348063) Arista completed its initial public offering in June 2014 and began trading on the NYSE under the ticker ANET.[37](https://www.arista.com/en/company/news/press-release/940-pr-20140606-01)[4](https://www.arista.com/en/company/quick-facts)

After becoming public, Arista broadened its software platform with CloudVision in 2015, which it describes as providing network-wide telemetry, visibility and automation alongside EOS.[38](https://www.arista.com/en/company/news/press-release/1153-pr-20150623)[39](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-8aa0cae3412342b9870d0a5aefab3d2d)[40](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-1682c44cebea4a32b0868959ca6c64c2) It later expanded into adjacent markets through acquisitions, including Mojo Networks in 2018, Big Switch Networks in 2020 and Awake Security in 2020.[41](https://www.arista.com/en/company/news/press-release/5717-pr-20180802)[42](https://www.arista.com/en/company/news/press-release/9800-pr-20200214)[43](https://www.arista.com/en/company/news/press-release/11750-pr-20200928)
