Back to All Partners Arista INVITE Networks is an authorized Arista Networks partner, delivering cloud networking, data center switching, and campus network deployment and ongoing managed services for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and the greater Mountain West. INVITE handles Arista infrastructure design, deployment, EOS configuration, and CloudVision implementation — so your organization gets high-performance, scalable network infrastructure without managing complex network operations in-house. TL;DR: Arista Networks delivers industry-leading cloud networking for data centers and campuses — built on a single Extensible Operating System (EOS) and managed through the CloudVision platform. INVITE Networks designs, deploys, and manages Arista environments as a fully supported engagement. This page is for IT directors and VPs of Infrastructure evaluating an Arista partner who can own the network design and ongoing operations. What does INVITE Networks deliver as an Arista Networks partner? As an authorized Arista Networks partner, INVITE Networks provides end-to-end network infrastructure services — from architecture and design through deployment and day-to-day operations. INVITE designs Arista switching environments for data center spine-leaf topologies, campus networks, and multi-cloud connectivity, then manages the deployment and configuration of EOS-based switches. For organizations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and the greater Mountain West that need a high-performance, scalable network foundation, INVITE brings the engineering depth to deliver Arista infrastructure that performs at enterprise scale. INVITE’s engagement model covers network design and bill of materials, switch configuration and staging, CloudVision deployment for centralized telemetry and automation, and integration with existing security and monitoring platforms. Post-deployment, INVITE’s managed services team handles network operations — covering firmware management, configuration change control, fault monitoring, and capacity planning. Why do Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and Mountain West organizations choose INVITE for Arista networking? Arista’s EOS platform is operationally different from legacy networking vendors — and organizations that try to deploy Arista without an experienced partner often underutilize the platform’s automation and telemetry capabilities. INVITE Networks gives Utah and Arizona organizations a partner who understands both Arista’s architecture and the operational realities of running enterprise networks: change management, redundancy requirements, and the need for visibility across every network segment. A Phoenix-based financial services organization with three data center locations engaged INVITE to replace an aging legacy data center fabric with an Arista spine-leaf architecture. INVITE designed a non-blocking, 100G spine-leaf topology, deployed 24 Arista switches across three sites, and implemented CloudVision for centralized network management and real-time telemetry — cutting mean time to resolution on network incidents by 60% and eliminating the manual configuration processes that had caused two prior outages. How does INVITE deploy and manage Arista as part of its managed services? INVITE follows a structured network deployment methodology: discovery and current-state assessment, logical and physical design, equipment staging and configuration, phased cutover, and managed operations. The discovery phase captures traffic flows, redundancy requirements, security zone segmentation, and integration points with firewalls, load balancers, and storage networks — ensuring the Arista design fits the operational environment, not just the topology diagram. Post-deployment, INVITE’s managed services team monitors the Arista environment using CloudVision and INVITE’s network operations toolchain — providing proactive alerting on interface errors, BGP adjacency changes, and capacity thresholds. INVITE also integrates Arista telemetry into broader security monitoring programs, feeding network flow data into SIEM platforms for anomaly detection and incident correlation. What Arista products does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE Networks architects and deploys Arista’s full switching and networking portfolio based on each organization’s data center and campus requirements. For data center deployments, INVITE designs and deploys Arista 7050 and 7060 series spine-leaf architectures for high-performance compute and storage connectivity, with EVPN/VXLAN for multi-tenant network segmentation. For campus and distribution layer deployments, INVITE leverages Arista’s cognitive campus portfolio — including the 720 and 750 series switches — for unified wired network management. INVITE also deploys CloudVision as the centralized management and automation platform — providing network-wide telemetry, configuration compliance checking, and zero-touch provisioning for new switches. For organizations building multi-cloud connectivity, INVITE architects Arista’s CloudEOS solution, extending consistent EOS networking into AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments. Organizations evaluating network automation can engage INVITE to implement Arista’s eAPI and Ansible-based automation frameworks, reducing manual configuration overhead and accelerating change management processes.

Frequently Asked Questions: Arista Networks Is INVITE Networks an authorized Arista Networks partner? Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized Arista Networks partner, with trained network engineers certified in Arista EOS deployment and CloudVision administration. INVITE provides Arista equipment procurement, professional services, and ongoing managed network operations for organizations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and surrounding markets. Can INVITE manage our Arista environment if we don’t have internal Arista expertise? Yes. INVITE’s managed services model is designed for organizations that want Arista’s networking capabilities without building an internal network engineering practice. INVITE handles all Arista operations — firmware management, configuration change control, fault monitoring, and capacity planning — under a defined SLA. How does Arista EOS differ from traditional networking platforms? Arista’s EOS is a single, unified operating system running across the entire Arista portfolio — unlike legacy vendors that ship different OS versions on different hardware platforms. EOS supports programmatic APIs natively, enabling automation, streaming telemetry, and integration with DevOps toolchains. INVITE helps organizations leverage these capabilities to reduce manual operations and improve network-wide visibility. How long does an Arista data center deployment take with INVITE? A standard Arista spine-leaf deployment for a single data center with 10–20 switches typically completes in four to eight weeks, including design, staging, and cutover. Campus network replacements vary based on the number of buildings and distribution layers. INVITE provides a detailed project timeline during the discovery and design phase.
