Case Study: Schuberg Philis achieves 100% uptime and 3x network throughput with Arista Networks

Schuberg Philis selects Arista for its Mission Critical Cloud as part of a successful and ongoing journey to meet its 100% principle

Schuberg Philis is a Dutch IT partner renowned for its “100% principle” of reliability, quality and openness, serving nearly 500 customers from banks to retailers. To deliver a mission‑critical cloud that met stringent security and performance criteria, the company needed a flexible switching architecture to support standardized “cloud pods” of compute, storage and networking and to enable deep automation across its DevOps teams.

Schuberg Philis deployed Arista 7150 switches and Arista EOS as the top‑of‑rack fabric, integrated with its CloudStack fork (Cosmic) and automation toolchain. The result: Arista platforms have run operationally without downtime for nearly five years, independent benchmarks show internal network throughput exceeding AWS and Azure by about 3x, and automation let a six‑person team manage ~5,000 servers (vs ~500 previously) while reducing migrations from weeks to minutes.
