Specialist high performance network hardware manufacturer Arista Networks (previously known as Arastra) recently launched a range of super-fast 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switches. JPY will add the range to its product portfolio as the first piece of the new digital video strategy it is embarking on.

The monster switches offer 24 and 48 Ethernet ports, with low latency and incredible speed, ideal for handling large video files. Also, the Arista switches incorporate a fully extensible operating system that enables performance to be tweaked to exacting customer needs. Unlike mixed 1/10 Gigabit switches currently available, the Arista devices support a full 10 Gigabits on every port.

The Arista switch is the ideal companion for the HELIOS range of file and print servers distributed by JPY. HELIOS has long been used in environments where high-speed access, cross-platform client support, and solid reliability are essential. Nothing comes close to the combination of HELIOS on a 10 Gigabit network.

JPY founder and MD, Dr John Yardley commented,

"Although JPY is best known as a software value-added distributor, our customers cannot wait for 10 Gigabit to reach the mainstream channel distributors. Building networks for these extreme speeds requires expert knowledge in the media industries and JPY has plenty of that."
