Arista Q2 Results Better Than Expected
Strong Q2 Continues Arista Networks’ Growth Curve – SDX Central
Analysts had been disappointed that Arista Networks second-quarter forecast didn t exceed $191 million. They might have been appeased today, as Arista s actual second-quarter revenues topped $195 million. That represents 9 percent growth over the previous quarter and 41 percent over the second quarter a year ago.

Oracle – You Can t Perform Security Testing On Our Products
Oracle security chief to customers: Stop checking our code for vulnerabilities – Ars Technica
No, You Really Can’t – Mary Ann Davidson Blog
Recently, I have seen a large-ish uptick in customers reverse engineering our code to attempt to find security vulnerabilities in it. This is why I ve been writing a lot of letters to customers that start with hi, howzit, aloha but end with please comply with your license agreement and stop reverse engineering our code, already.
and
If we determine as part of our analysis that scan results could only have come from reverse engineering (in at least one case, because the report said, cleverly enough, static analysis of Oracle XXXXXX ), we send a letter to the sinning customer, and a different letter to the sinning consultant-acting-on-customer s behalf reminding them of the terms of the Oracle license agreement that preclude reverse engineering, So Please Stop It Already.”
