The Arista 7500R3 Series of purpose built modular switches deliver the industry’s highest performance with 230 Tbps of system throughput to meet the needs of the largest scale data centers. They combine scalable L2 and L3 resources and high density with advanced features for network monitoring, precision timing and network virtualization to deliver scalable and deterministic network performance while simplifying designs and reducing Opex. The 7500R3 can be deployed in a wide range of open networking solutions including large scale layer 2 and layer 3 cloud designs, overlay networks, virtualized or traditional enterprise data center networks. Deep packet buffers and large routing tables allow for internet peering and secure data center interconnect applications and provides complete deployment flexibility. Available in a compact system design, as a choice of 12, 8 and 4 slot, the Arista 7500R3 is the next generation of the 7500 Series and delivers seamless upgrades ensuring investment protection of fabric modules, line cards and supervisor modules while setting a new standard for performance, density, reliability, and power efficiency. The 7500R3 can support up to 288 ports of wire speed 400G and 576 ports of 100G and offers over 230 Tbps of total capacity with a broad choice of line cards. Standards based OSFP and QSFP-DD 400G, QSFP 100G and SFP 25G interfaces support a choice of speeds including 10G, 25G and 50G providing unparalleled flexibility and the ability to seamlessly transition data centers to the next generation of Ethernet performance. All components are hot swappable, with redundant supervisor, power, fabric and cooling modules with front-to-rear airflow. The system is purpose built for data centers and is energy efficient with typical power consumption of under 25 watts per 100G port for a fully configured chassis. These attributes make the Arista 7500R3 an ideal platform for building reliable and highly scalable data center networks.
