Industry Leading Performance, Power-Efficiency, and High Availability

The Arista 7050 Series is a series of 1RU 10GbE and 40GbE wire speed multilayer switches powered by the Arista EOS, the world's most advanced network operating system. The 7050 Series provide the performance and scalability for 10Gb data centers, big data, IP Storage applications and dense virtualization environments with performance and high availability.  

  • Performance: Up to 1.28 Tbps and 960 Mpps
  • Non-blocking wire speed forwarding at both L2 and L3
  • Density: 16 ports of 40GbE (Spine switch) or 64 and 52 ports 10GbE (Leaf switches)
  • Latency: 800ns-1200ns
  • Lowest Power: less than 2W per port
  • Scalable tables for L2, L3, and IP Multicast
  • 40 GbE QSFP+ uplinks and support for 1 GbE on all SFP+ ports
  • 50 GB SSD for data capture and on switch storage
  • Consistent binary software image shared across all Arista switches
