Arista 7308 Switch Chassis

The Arista 7300 Series modular switches are part of the Arista portfolio of data center switches. The 7300 Series with 7300X Series line cards increase flexibility and scalability for data center switches supporting both leaf and spine and SplineTM applications for collapsed end of row and aggregation. The 7300X systems share a common architecture with the Arista 7050X and 7250X Series and offer a choice of two modular systems, a 4-slot and 8-slot that support advanced features for network monitoring, precision timing and network virtualization to deliver scalable high performance for software defined cloud networking.

Increased adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet servers and applications requiring higher bandwidth is driving rapid adoption of 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet switching. The 7300 Series support a choice of high density line cards in combination with wire speed layer 2/3/4 performance that provides a flexible combination of 100M, 1G, 10G and 40G switching to design large leaf and spine networks for scale-out of east-west traffic patterns with low latency and power efficiency.

With reversible front-to-rear or rear-to-front airflow, redundant and hot swappable supervisor, power, fabric and cooling modules the system is purpose built for data centers. The 7300 Series is energy efficient with typical power consumption of under 3 watts per 10GbE port for a fully loaded chassis. All of these attributes make the Arista 7300 Series an ideal platform for building reliable, low latency, resilient and scalable data center networks. Combined with Arista EOS the 7300 Series delivers advanced features for big data, cloud, virtualized and traditional designs.
