7050X3 Series 10/25/40/50/100G Data Center Switches
The Arista 7050X3 Series high performance flexible data center switches with a rich set of wire speed L2 and L3 features combine extensive automation with programmability, low latency and consistent features for software driven cloud networking.
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 high performance flexible data center switches with a rich set of wire speed L2 and L3 features combine extensive automation with programmability, 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 and 7050CX3-32C are 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 ports the 7050SX3-48YC8, 7050SX3-48YC8C and 7050SX3-48YC12 enable high performance in a compact 1RU form factor. The 7050SX3-96YC8 system has 96 ports of 25G and 8 ports of 100G in 2U. The 7050SX3 systems ensure seamless migration from 1/10G to 25G and enables high density 25G solutions without network oversubscription. The 7050TX3-48C8, 7050SX3-48C8 and 7050SX3-48C8C with 48 1/10G ports deliver consistent features and enhancements for Enterprise and carrier networks. All models of the 7050X3 Series offer flexible forwarding tables with a Unified Forwarding Table, latency from as low as 800 ns 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.
