Challenge	Morphlabs needed to find an affordable, open, adaptive, and powerful 1U switch to meet their clients' demands for revolutionary turnkey cloud solutions. The primary concern was finding the best architectural solution that could provide non-blocking wire speed performance on all ports and extensibility built into the switch architecture. Cost, space, and power consumption were also important considerations. Read More
About Customer	Morphlabs is a company that has been providing expertise in deploying turnkey cloud solutions for over four years. They aim to democratize the deployment of enterprise-class private clouds through their mCloud Data Center Unit (DCU), which combines leading-edge cloud building blocks, open-source software, and commodity hardware. Morphlabs partners with Arista Networks to enhance their cloud solutions, ensuring high performance and availability for their customers. Read More
Solution	Morphlabs integrated Arista's 7048 switch into their mCloud Data Center Unit (DCU) to optimize performance. The Arista 7048 switch offers non-blocking wire speed performance on all ports and extensibility built into the switch architecture. Each mCloud DCU is networked through a top-of-rack Arista 7048 switch configured with active-active redundancy using Arista’s Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation technology. The mCloud Controller communicates with the Arista EOS software to automatically make configuration changes, including VLAN assignments, to create private virtualized resource pools. The integration of the mCloud Controller technology with Arista was efficient, leveraging Arista’s extensibility features. Read More Log in to view content
