Networking product revenue mix is product revenue divided by total revenue under Arista's financial-statement classification.

Arista reported 84.1% product revenue mix in 2025, compared with 84.0% in 2024.

Product and service mix reconcile to 100%

Service revenue represented 15.9% of total revenue.

The 84.1% product share plus 15.9% service share gives exactly 100% of the financial-statement revenue mix.

The mix barely changed despite rapid growth

Product revenue grew 28.8% while service revenue grew 27.7%.

Because both streams expanded at similar rates, product mix increased only 0.1 percentage point.

The two taxonomies answer different questions

This accounting mix is different from Arista's Core, Cognitive Adjacencies, and Software and Services product-category mix.

Use Networking Software and Services Revenue Mix separately rather than combining the classifications as if they partition revenue on the same basis.

Where this concept fits

Platform mix and revenue compositionCurrent relationship
Core, Cognitive Adjacencies, and Software and Services describe Arista's product-category mix, while product and service revenue use the financial-statement classification. Product and service revenue mix therefore answer a different question from product-category mix and should be analyzed separately.

Unit economics and concentration
Product and service gross margins show the different cost structures of hardware-oriented shipments and support delivery. Non-Americas mix and top-two customer concentration show where revenue is generated and how dependent results are on a small number of large customers whose deployment timing and pricing can affect reported margins.
Non-Americas Revenue Mix Product Gross Margin Service Gross Margin Top-Two Customer Concentration
Deferred revenue and supply-chain commitments
Deferred revenue and its opening-balance recognition rate connect product acceptance and support contracts to future recognition, while the two-year future-revenue mix adds timing. Inventory write-downs and purchase commitments show the operating risk created when long-lead sourcing and product transitions outrun realized customer demand.
