Overview:
Increased adoption of high performance servers coupled with applications using higher bandwidth is accelerating the need for dense 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet switching in both leaf and spine tiers of modern networks. The Arista 7060X and 7260X Series are purpose built high performance, high density, fixed configuration, data center switches with wire speed layer 2 and layer 3 features, combined with advanced features for software defined cloud networking and emerging requirements. The Arista 7060X and 7260X are key components of the Arista portfolio of data center switches delivering a rich choice of interface speed and density allowing customers to seamlessly evolve from existing 10GbE and 40GbE to 25GbE, 50GbE and 100GbE.
The 7060CX-32S and 7260CX-64 support a flexible combination of speeds including 10G, 25G, 40G and 100G in compact form factors that allows customers to design networks to accommodate the myriad different applications and east-west traffic patterns found in modern data centers whilst providing investment protection.
The 7260QX Series are purpose built high density and low power 40GbE systems that enable cost effective solutions with flexible and scalable resources for layer 2 and layer 3 designs.
Combined with Arista EOS both the 7060X and 7260X Series deliver advanced features for cloud, big data, virtualized and traditional data centers.
Arista EOS
The Arista 7060X and 7260X run 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.

Benefits:

High Availability
The Arista 7260X and 7060X series switches were designed for high availability from both a software and hardware perspective. Key high availability features include:
- 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies and four N+1 hot-swap fans
- Color coded PSU’s and fans
- Live software patching
- Self healing software with Stateful Fault Repair (SFR)
- Smart System Upgrade (SSU) and Accelerated Software Update (ASU)
- Up to 64 10/25/40/50/100GbE ports per link aggregation group
- Multi-chassis LAG for active/active L2 multi-pathing
- 128-way ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy
Dynamic Buffer Allocation
In cut-through mode, the Arista 7060X and 7260X switches forward packets with a latency of 450 nanoseconds to 550 nanoseconds. Upon congestion, the packets are buffered in shared packet memory that has a total size of 16 MBytes per port group. Unlike other architectures that have fixed per-port packet memory, the 7060X and 7260X Series use Dynamic Buffer Allocation (DBA) to allocate packet memory to a single port for lossless forwarding.
Enhanced Features for High Performance Networks
The Arista 7060X and 7260X deliver a suite of advanced traffic control and monitoring features to improve the agility of modern high performance environments, with solutions for data monitoring, and next-generation virtualization.
Scaling Data Center Performance
The Arista 7060X and 7260X series deliver line rate switching at layer 2 and layer 3 to enable faster and simpler network designs for data centers that dramatically lowers the network capital and operational expenses. When used in conjunction with the Arista 7000 series of fixed and modular switches it allows networks to scale to over 27,000 10G/25G servers in low-latency two-tier networks that provide predictable and consistent application performance. The flexibility of the L2 and L3 multi-path design options combined with support for open standards provides architectural flexibility, scalability and network wide virtualization. Arista EOS advanced features provide control and visibility with single point of management.
Maximum Flexibility for Scale Out Network Designs
Scale out network designs enable solutions to start small and evolve over time. A simple two-way design can grow as far as 64-way without significant changes to the architecture. The Arista 7060X and 7260X include enhancements for flexible scale-out designs:
- 128-way ECMP and 64-way MLAG to provide scalable designs and balance traffic evenly across large scale 2 tier leaf-spine designs
- Custom hash algorithms for efficient hashing, persistent hashing and custom lookups for tunneled protocols.
- Flexible allocation of L2 and L3 forwarding table resources for more design choice
- Wide choice of dense 10G/25G/40G/100G interfaces for multi-speed flexibility
- VXLAN routing, bridging and gateway capability for physical to virtualization communication in next generation data center designs
- DANZ, sFlow and multi-port mirroring to detect micro-burst congestion and provide network wide visibility and monitoring
Software Driven Cloud Networking
Arista Software Driven Cloud Networking (SDCN), combines the principles that have made cloud computing the unstoppable force that it is: automation, self service provisioning, and linear scaling of both performance and economics coupled with the trend in Software Defined Networking that delivers: network virtualization, custom programmability, simplified architectures, and lower capital expenditure. This combination creates a best-in-class software foundation for maximizing the value of the network to both the enterprise and service provider data center. A new architecture for the most mission-critical location within the IT infrastructure that simplifies management and provisioning, speeds up service delivery, lowers costs and creates opportunities for competitive differentiation, while putting control and visibility back in the hands of the network and systems administrators.
Virtualization
Supporting next-generation virtualized data centers requires tight integration with orchestration tools and emerging encapsulation technologies such as VXLAN. The 7060X & 7260X build on the valuable tools already provided by the Arista VM Tracer suite to integrate directly into encapsulated environments. Offering a wire-speed gateway between VXLAN and traditional L2/3 environments, they make integration of non-VXLAN aware devices including servers, firewalls and load-balancers seamless and provide the ability to leverage VXLAN as a standards based L2 extension technology for non-MPLS environments.
Advanced Event Management (AEM)
Simplifying the overall operations, AEM provides the tools to customize alerts and actions. AEM is a powerful and flexible set of tools to automate tasks and customize the behavior of EOS and the operation of the overall data center switching infrastructure. AEM allows operators to fully utilize the intelligence within EOS to respond to real-time events, automate routine tasks, and automate actions based on changing network conditions.
Unified Forwarding Table
Cloud network scalability is directly impacted by the size of a switches forwarding tables. In many systems a 'one size fits all' approach is adopted using discrete fixed size tables for each of the common types of forwarding entry. The Arista 7060X and 7260X leverage a common Unified Forwarding Table for the L2 MAC, L3 Routing, L3 Host and IP Multicast forwarding entries, which can be partitioned per entry type. The ideal size of each partition varies depending on the network deployment scenario. The flexibility of the UFT coupled with the range of pre-defined configuration profiles available on the 7060X and 7260X ensures optimal resource allocation for all network topologies and network virtualization technologies.
