The new campus network builds on a multi-year relationship between ASX and Arista. This includes ASX’s use of Arista’s 7130 platform for high-frequency trading, and Arista Extensible Operating System and CloudVision software for network management and workflow automation.

Arista’s CloudVision platform provides ASX with a real-time view for network monitoring across all devices. The ASX is a flagship client for Arista. It also boasts tie-ups with other leading equity and commodity exchanges around the world.

Arista is likely to benefit from strong momentum and diversification across its top verticals and product lines. In the second quarter of 2021, it surpassed 50 million cloud network port shipments. The Santa Clara, CA-based company continues to navigate a challenging supply environment.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
