Infinera, a leading provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, and Arista Networks, announced a technology alliance to deliver turn-key metro and regional Cloud networking solutions that combine high-performance datacenter switching along with high-capacity, low-power, rack and stack optical transport for datacenter interconnect applications for Internet content providers, enterprises and service providers. The solution integrates Arista's 7000 series switching portfolio with the Infinera Cloud Xpress to deliver an interoperable solution designed for the datacenter and Cloud networking markets. 

According to Infinera, the combination provides a set of solutions that are well suited for bandwidth intense applications such as IP storage networking, big data environments, high-performance computing (HPC), and media and entertainment networking. 

Earlier this year, Infinera and Arista completed an interoperability test validating the datacenter networking solutions for critical and mandatory requirements of a modern datacenter.
