Safe Harbor
This presentation and the accompanying oral presentation contain forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs
and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include all statements other than
statements of historical fact contained in this presentation, including information concerning our business plans and objectives, total
addressable market, potential growth opportunities, market potential by speed, trends relating to increase in storage, competitive position,
benefits of Arista platform, industry environment and potential market opportunities.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual
results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those anticipated in or implied by the forward looking statements including:
Arista Network’s limited operating history; risks associated with Arista Networks’ rapid growth; Arista Networks’ customer concentration;
requests for more favorable terms and conditions from our large end customers; declines in the sales prices of our products and services;
changes in customer order patterns or customer mix; increased competition in our products and service markets, including the data center
market; dependence on the introduction and market acceptance of new product offerings and standards; rapid technological and market
change; the dispute with Cisco Systems, Inc. and OptumSoft, Inc., the evolution of the cloud networking market and the adoption by end
customers of Arista Networks’ cloud networking solutions; and general market, political, economic and business conditions. Additional
risks and uncertainties that could affect Arista Networks can be found in Arista’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on May 14, 2015, Arista’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014 filed
with the SEC on March 12, 2015, and other filings that the company makes to the SEC from time to time. You can locate these reports
through our website at http://investors.arista.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although our management believes that the
expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity,
performance or events and circumstances described in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we,
nor any other person, assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. This presentation is being provided as of June 1, 2015 and the forward looking statements and any other statements contained herein
speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements or any
other statements in this presentation for any reason after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or to
changes in our expectations, except as required by law. In addition to GAAP financial information, this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP measures have
limitations, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our GAAP financial information. There are limitations to the
use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP gross margins, non-GAAP operating income and adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of stockbased compensation expense, which is a recurring expense for us. See the Appendix for a reconciliation of all non-GAAP financial
measures to their nearest GAAP equivalent.

Datacenter Switch Revenue by Speed
Notes:
Source: Dell’Oro, Ethernet Switch Deployment Location April 2015
1.Dell’Oro recognizes that servers with 25/50 Gbps ports will connect to 100 Gbps switch ports with a splitter cable. Our 25/50 Gbps port shipments are only native 25/50 Gbps. We count all ports at the highest speed they can support and not what they can be split to and do not double count ports in our segmentation.
