Better Buy: Arista Networks vs. Juniper Networks

Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) and Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) are both smaller players in the networking hardware market dominated by Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO). Arista sells network switches and encourages customers to replace traditional routers by combining its switches and software in software-defined networking (SDN) deployments. Juniper, which sells both switches and routers, is a more traditional networking company like Cisco.
