Arista Networks' (NYSE: ANET) stock fell 24% after management reported earnings on Oct. 31. And since Arista is a recommendation in both Motley Fool Stock Advisor and Rule Breakers (as well as 11 other Foolish services), we thought it was a good time to do a deep-dive question-and-answer session about the stock.
John Rotonti, a senior analyst at The Fool and an Arista bull, earlier this month pulled together a list of important questions that he thinks investors should be asking about the company, and then he answered them for the readers on fool.com! Here's his report.
According to the book Cloud Networking Transformation: The Making of Arista, Google (today a part of Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL)) put out a request for information in 2004. It was looking for a switch design that could tie together 100,000 servers at 1 Gigabit per second (1Gb/s, or 1G) ethernet speeds at a cost of $100 per server.
