Marketing Information: The Arista 7050X3 are members of the Arista 7050X series and key components of the Arista portfolio of data center switches. The adoption of high performance servers using virtualization and containers with increasingly higher bandwidth is accelerating the need for dense 25 and 100G Ethernet switching in both the leaf and spine tiers of modern networks. The Arista 7050X3 Series are high performance flexible data center switches with a rich set of wire speed L2 and L3 features combined with extensive automation and programmability capabilities, low latency and consistent features for software driven cloud networking.

The 7050X3 Series are available in a choice of configuration options. Combining high density and industry leading power efficiency with typical power consumption under 7W per 100GbE port the 7050CX3-32S is ideal for both high performance leaf or collapsed spine tiers with airflow choices for back to front, or front to back.

Featuring 48 ports of 25G SFP ports and a choice of 8 or 12 ports of 100G QSFP ports the 7050SX3-48YC8 and 7050SX3-48YC12 enable high performance in a compact 1RU form factor. The 7050SX3 systems ensure seamless migration from 1/10G to 25G and enables high density 25G solutions without network oversubscription.

All models of the 7050X3 Series offer flexible forwarding tables with a Unified Forwarding Table, latency from 800ns and a fully shared packet buffer of up to 32MB for superior burst absorption. Comprehensive support for a wide range of interface speeds including 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G combined with Arista EOS ensures the 7050X3 delivers the flexibility and features for big data, cloud, virtualized and traditional network designs and accommodates the myriad different applications and east-west traffic patterns found in modern data centers.

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.

Questions & Answers

Question:

What is the main interface on the switch? Shouldn't it be SFP28 and not SFP since its 25G?

[email protected]
09-May-2023

Answer:

Arista considers SFP28 and 25G SFP the same thing. So in actuality, these switches have an SFP28 main ports interface. The identify the uplink ports the same way; they consider QSFP28 and 100G QSFP the same thing (the 8x100G uplinks). Per Arista: The electrical interface is designed to accommodate up to 28Gbps, hence the engineering and industry name is SFP28. Arista refers to the 25G form factor as the 25G SFP to avoid any confusion.
