Arista 7050SX3-48YC8 - 7050X3 Series Data Center Switches

25/100G Leaf and Spine solutions for cloud scale open networking

The Arista 7050X3 series are non-blocking 10/25G and 100G data center switches in compact and energy efficient form factors with wirespeed layer 2 and layer 3 features. They combine scalable L2 and L3 resources with a flexible switch architecture that supports multiple overlay technologies and advanced encapsulations.

The 7050X3 offer 25G using the familar SFP and 100G with widely deployed QSFP interfaces for flexible port speed choices providing unparalleled flexibility and the ability to seamlessly transition data centers to the next generation of Ethernet performance. The 7050X3 Series provide industry leading power efficiency with data center optimized airflow. Combined with Arista EOS the 7050X3 Series delivers advanced features ideally suited for large Enterprises, big data and machine learning environments, traditional and virtualized data centers and Service Provider edge networking roles.

At the core of the 7050X3 series is a 6.4Tbps packet processor that provides high performance and large scale scale IP routing tables, and a full shared 32MB intelligent buffer.

Arista EOS

The Arista 7050X3 series runs the same Arista EOS software as all Arista products, simplifying network administration. Arista EOS is a modular switch operating system with a unique state sharing architecture that cleanly separates switch state from protocol processing and application logic. Built on top of a standard Linux kernel, all EOS processes run in their own protected memory space and exchange state through an in-memory database. This multi-process state sharing architecture provides the foundation for in-service-software updates and self-healing resiliency.

With Arista EOS, advanced monitoring and automation capabilities such as Zero Touch Provisioning, VMTracer and Linux based tools can be run natively on the switch with the powerful x86 CPU subsystem.
