|---|---|
| Where? | Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, served from Emirtech's Mussafah, Abu Dhabi base; there is no Al Ain office. In Dubai: IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself; CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating. |
| What is covered | Arista Networks Switches Installation. |
| Survey and quotation | Emirtech publishes no price list: it surveys or assesses first and then gives a written, itemised quotation. |
| Credentials | Emirtech is an independent systems integrator. It holds no manufacturer-level credential of its own, and its ADMCC approval covers security systems only, not IT services. |

What does Emirtech deliver for Arista Networks switching in Abu Dhabi?
Emirtech Technology is an Abu Dhabi contractor (ADMCC-approved for security systems) delivering Arista Networks switches installation across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Founded in 2018 and operating from M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, we install and configure Arista hardware procured via authorised Arista distributors in the UAE — including the Arista 7050 series (low-latency data centre top-of-rack), 7060 series (leaf / top-of-rack), 7280 and 7300 series (data centre spine), 7500 and 7800 series (modular chassis for cloud-scale fabrics), and the 7170 series (programmable network processor) for specialised data-plane workloads. Our engineers configure Arista EOS (Extensible Operating System) — the Linux-based network OS with persistent state, modular subsystems and SysDB — and integrate CloudVision Portal (CVP) for fabric-wide telemetry, change control and configuration management. Deployments can cover leaf-spine data centre fabrics, EVPN/VXLAN overlays, MLAG pairings, low-latency requirements (HFT, real-time analytics), and hybrid CloudEOS extensions into AWS, Azure or GCP, aligned to Arista Validated Designs (AVD) reference designs. We are a commercial installer working with Arista platforms; we are NOT an Arista Networks Authorised Partner, NOT an Arista Networks Channel Partner, and NOT an authorised Arista distributor in the UAE. We do not resell licences directly from Arista, do not provide Arista TAC-tier escalation, and do not hold SIRA, ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certification. We do not operate a 24/7 Security Operations Centre, and Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, with Dubai projects limited to IT AMC and time attendance. For projects requiring vendor-badged partner status, manufacturer-direct licensing or TAC engagement, the customer engages Arista or an authorised Arista distributor directly while we deliver the physical installation, EOS configuration and CloudVision onboarding.

Arista platforms we install
Arista switching ranges deployed across Abu Dhabi
Arista 7280 / 7300 spine
Spine and aggregation switches for leaf-spine fabrics. 100/400GbE uplinks, deep buffering for east-west traffic. We configure underlay routing (eBGP / OSPF), ECMP load-sharing and CloudVision telemetry across the spine layer.
Arista 7500R / 7800R modular

Use cases we support
Where Arista fits in Abu Dhabi networks
Data centre leaf-spine fabric
Pure leaf-spine designs using 7050/7060 leaves and 7280/7300 spines with EVPN/VXLAN overlays. Suits private cloud, virtualisation farms and container platforms requiring east-west bandwidth and consistent latency.
Low-latency / HFT-style links
7050-series platforms for trading floor or real-time analytics workloads where microsecond latency matters. We install hardware and apply latency-optimised port and buffer configuration; customer supplies tuning targets.
Cloud-scale and hyperscale prep
7800R modular chassis and 400GbE spine for organisations scaling beyond fixed-form factor switches. Suitable as a Cisco Nexus or Juniper QFX alternative where Arista has been pre-selected by the customer.
Hybrid CloudEOS extensions
CloudEOS instances in AWS / Azure / GCP extending on-prem Arista fabric into public cloud for consistent EOS feature parity. Customer provides cloud subscriptions and security approvals; we deploy and connect.
Scope — what we deliver and explicitly do not
Emirtech is a commercial Arista installer in Abu Dhabi. We are precise about what falls inside our delivery scope and what sits with Arista Networks, authorised Arista distributors in the UAE, or other specialist consultancies.
- We deliver: Arista 7050 / 7060 / 7280 / 7300 / 7500R / 7800R / 7170 switch installation, EOS configuration, leaf-spine and EVPN/VXLAN fabric build, MLAG, CloudVision Portal onboarding, CloudEOS hybrid extension, telemetry export and structured cabling across Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
- We do not deliver: Arista licence resale, TAC / support contract issuance, custom P4 data-plane development on 7170 NPUs, manufacturer-direct warranty fulfilment, 24/7 NOC or SOC monitoring services, or operations in Sharjah or the Northern Emirates.
- We are not: an Arista Networks Authorised Partner, an Arista Networks Channel Partner, an Arista Gold / Platinum / Premier tier partner, or an authorised Arista distributor in the UAE. We hold no manufacturer-level credential of our own; for Arista we operate strictly as a commercial installer using channels sourced through authorised UAE distribution.
- We are not affiliated with: Arista Networks, Arista Middle East, authorised Arista distributors in UAE, Cisco Nexus, Juniper QFX, HPE Aruba CX, Mellanox / NVIDIA Networking, or Dell EMC OS10. References to these names describe interoperability or comparative context only.
- We do not hold SIRA (Dubai), ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certification.
- Where a project requires Arista-badged partner status, vendor-direct licensing or TAC escalation, the customer engages Arista or an authorised Arista distributor directly while we deliver the physical installation and EOS / CVP configuration.
This separation keeps procurement, support entitlement and installation scope clean — and ensures the customer always knows exactly which party owns which obligation across the Arista deployment.
Common questions
FAQs
Is Emirtech an Arista Networks Authorised Partner or Channel Partner in the UAE?
No. Emirtech is not an Arista Networks Authorised Partner, not an Arista Channel Partner, not an Arista Gold / Platinum / Premier tier partner, and not an authorised Arista distributor in the UAE. We hold no manufacturer-level credential of our own. For Arista we operate as a commercial installer, using hardware sourced via authorised UAE distribution channels. Licences, support entitlements and TAC engagement remain with Arista or the customer's chosen Arista Authorised Partner.
Which Arista switch families do you install in Abu Dhabi?
We install and configure the Arista 7050 series (low-latency ToR), 7060 series (leaf / top-of-rack), 7280 / 7300 series (data centre spine), 7500R and 7800R modular chassis (cloud-scale cores), and the 7170 series (programmable NPU). All hardware is procured through authorised Arista distribution in the UAE — we do not import grey-market units.
Do you configure Arista EOS and CloudVision Portal?
Yes. We configure Arista EOS — including underlay routing (eBGP / OSPF), MLAG, EVPN / VXLAN overlays, telemetry streaming and SNMPv3 — and onboard switches into CloudVision Portal (CVP) with configlet baselines, change control and inventory management. We do not author custom EOS SDK extensions or P4 data-plane code in-house.
Can you deliver leaf-spine fabric designs and CloudEOS hybrid extensions?
Yes. We deliver leaf-spine fabric installations using Arista 7050 / 7060 leaves and 7280 / 7300 / 7500R / 7800R spines, with EVPN / VXLAN overlays aligned to Arista Validated Designs (AVD) references. CloudEOS instances can be deployed into AWS, Azure or GCP where the customer provides the cloud subscriptions, IAM access and security approvals.
Do you cover Dubai or the Northern Emirates for Arista projects?
Yes. Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are our priority areas, and in Dubai: IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating; we do not mobilise to Sharjah or the Northern Emirates. We also do not hold SIRA (Dubai), ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certifications, and we do not operate a 24/7 SOC.
How do I request a quotation for Arista Networks switches in Abu Dhabi?
