Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) is pleased to announce it is the newest
member to join AVnu
Alliance, the industry consortium that certifies Audio Video
Bridging (AVB) products for interoperability. Arista’s
membership marks the growth of AVnu Alliance in the professional audio
video industry and helps push momentum for the growing ecosystem of
interoperable AVB devices through AVnu-certification.
“Arista is thrilled to become a member of AVnu Alliance, the only
organization that is driving open, standards-based AV networking via
Ethernet,” said Vice President of Business Development and Alliances for
Arista, Ed Chapman. “Arista’s Extensible
Operating System (EOS) implementation of AVB delivers a next
generation solution for the audio video industry with the performance
and cost of Ethernet economics.”
As a member of the Alliance, Arista plans to have its AVB networking
product lines certified to help foster an open and interoperable
standard within the industry. Arista has previously showcased the
ability to transport high-quality real-time media with accurate time
synchronization using AVB on next generation switches. The
implementation of AVB on Arista hardware has the potential to greatly
improve the flexibility, precision, visibility and price point of A/V
networking.
“As the AVnu Alliance continues to grow and drive AVnu-certification, we
welcome the addition of a key provider of networking equipment including
Ethernet switches and routers,” said Rick Kreifeldt, AVnu Alliance
President and Chair. “Arista Networks’ participation will provide the
