Better Buy: Arista Networks vs. Juniper Networks

At the time, I concluded that Arista's higher gross margins and forward-thinking approach to replacing physical routers with cloud-based software made it the better networking play. Arista's stock subsequently rallied nearly 40% as Juniper's stock advanced about 20%. Arista only sells networking switches and software-based networking services.
