Arista’s core EOS and CloudVision software, along with its 400G and 800G switches, are its mainstays in the competitive networking equipment market, which stands to gain as Ethernet adoption in AI networks picks up pace.

New mass displacement of Palestinians fleeing fighting, health facilities crammed with people seeking refuge, food World Health Organization (WHO) teams have embarked on high-risk missions, in collaboration with partners, to deliver crucial supplies to hospitals in both Northern and Southern Gaza.

To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, checks the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cooks “sitting is the new coolness” line.
