Eliminate Monitoring Blind Spots

For Network ArchitectsFor IT Directors

SNMP polling misses micro-bursts that saturate buffers in milliseconds. Arista DANZ and LANZ deliver nanosecond-precision visibility on the same switches that forward production traffic — at a fraction of NPB cost.

Beyond SNMP Polling

The visibility gap is now a business risk

SNMP polling on 1–5 minute intervals catches link failures. It misses micro-bursts — short-lived traffic spikes that saturate a buffer in milliseconds and trigger packet drops that legacy tools simply cannot capture. In a 100G/400G environment, those drops cause "intermittent" application latency that defies standard troubleshooting. Identifying the gap is step one. Closing it without paying for proprietary Network Packet Brokers is step two.

Disrupting NPB Economics

DANZ replaces appliances with the silicon you already own

Visibility integrated directly into the switching ASIC — no proprietary hardware, no per-port "visibility tax."

Cost-efficient

High-density switches you'd buy anyway double as TAP aggregators. Often under 7W per port at 100G — a fraction of legacy NPB power and acquisition cost.

Massive scalability

Visibility scales with port density — 100G now, 400G later, no forklift to a new appliance generation.

Pervasive coverage

Every port is a potential visibility source. Move from "sampled" monitoring islands to network-wide capture.

Single operational model

Same EOS, same automation, same engineers. No separate fleet of visibility appliances to operate, license, and refresh.

LANZ: Nanosecond Precision

See micro-bursts before they touch the application layer

The Latency Analyzer (LANZ) monitors buffer levels at granular precision. Configurable notifications via CLI, Syslog, or streaming events identify congestion sources and capture affected traffic for analysis. The shift is operational: from troubleshooting outages to maintaining peak performance — capacity planning based on actual buffer utilization instead of delayed link averages.

Self-Healing Stability

EOS keeps the visibility plane up — even during maintenance

Modular state-sharing architecture, automation-first design — the prerequisites for stable, ubiquitous visibility.

SFC + SFR

Stateful Fault Containment isolates failed processes; Stateful Fault Repair restarts and resyncs them — without impacting overall switch state or traffic.

Live software patching

Apply updates and security fixes to individual processes without a system reboot. Visibility doesn't go dark every time you patch.

ZTP + AEM

Zero Touch Provisioning and Advanced Event Management let the system self-configure and respond to real-time events — visibility scales without operational drag.
