Event Overview
Arista’s vision and framework for the Cognitive Campus Network leverages cloud capabilities and state-of-the-art merchant silicon to deliver critical services that automate deployment, configuration, visibility, troubleshooting, and security. The Arista Cognitive Campus consists of three building blocks: Always-on Modern Networking, AI-Driven Operations, and Zero Trust Architectures, all based on a single EOS image. As campus networks become the foundation for business-critical applications, the need to build a highly available Wired & Wi-Fi network has never been greater. For Educational institutions, downtime means a pause in student learning, a new bottleneck in research, and more. 

CCA works closely with Arista to provide a range of funding options for Higher-Ed Institutions. CCA helps schools acquire the technology they need, work around budget constraints, and, more importantly, keep the institution on the bleeding edge of tech.  As a self-funded, independent financing source, CCA has maximum flexibility in structuring financing for technology initiatives.

Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
 - Achieve an Always-on Modern Network Operating Model
 - Implement AI-driven Network Operations
 - Enforce Policy With Zero Trust Architectures
 - NaaS – stay current through flexible funding models
