Arista Converged Cloud Fabric (CCF) is an automated fabric designed with cloud networking principles, offering a Network-as-a-Service operational model with on-premises Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) capabilities. According to the vendor, this solution is targeted at mainstream and midsize organizations, serving network operations, cloud operations, DevOps, IT professionals, and enterprise organizations.

## Key Features

**Automated Fabric Delivers Network-as-a-Service with VPCs On-Prem**: Arista Converged Cloud Fabric (CCF) automates networking for multiple private cloud platforms, leveraging on-premises VPC/VNet constructs to deliver a cloud Network-as-a-Service operational model. The vendor claims that it enables the network to operate at the speed of virtual machines (VMs) and containers, providing real-time contextual visibility across the fabric and one-click troubleshooting workflows.

**CCF Infrastructure - Controller-Based, Resilient, Open**: CCF is a controller-based fabric that manages the entire fabric as one logical switch, aiming to eliminate operational complexity. It integrates with private cloud platforms, offers an intuitive self-service dashboard, and ensures high availability with a fully redundant design. The vendor states that its open architecture allows for flexibility and choice based on application needs, providing a turn-key solution without the need for programming.

**CCF Operations - Intent-Based, Zero-Touch, Secure**: CCF offers intent-based networking with automated policy workflows for design, deployment, operation, and verification. According to the vendor, it enforces operational intent with zero-touch fabric formation and scale-out, one-click software upgrades, and troubleshooting. CCF simplifies fabric-wide security policy management and aims to ensure multi-layer security with tenant isolation and firewall service insertion.

**CCF Experience - Modern, Automated, Liberating**: CCF provides Enterprise VPCs (E-VPC) for Network-as-a-Service with VPCs on-prem, aiming to simplify networking as VPC/VNets on public clouds. It offers built-in multi-tenancy and delegated administration, enabling programmatic automation. The vendor claims that CCF drives networks at the speed of VMs/Containers with auto-discovery, auto-provisioning, and contextual analytics for real-time visibility and rapid troubleshooting.


Converged Cloud Fabric (CCF, formerly Big Cloud Fabric from Big Switch Networks, which was acquired by Arista Networks in February of 2020) is an automated fabric built with cloud networking design principles.

HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC), formerly known as HP Network Management Center, is a network performance monitoring option, from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.
