7388X5 Series 100/200/400G Data Center Switches

The Arista 7388X5 series is a compact modular system built on a single 25.6Tbps packet processor in an extremely compact 4RU form factor that enables flexible port configuration as well as simple maintenance with all elements being field replaceable.

7388X5 Series

A key enabler in the ecosystem of ultra-high performance applications including hyper-scale cloud computing and AI/ML clusters is 400 Gigabit Ethernet. Faster, higher capacity CPUs, specialist processors, Smart NICs and flash storage enable the construction of larger clusters which require high bandwidth, low latency, large radix networks to achieve optimal performance. As clusters evolve, the network must not only scale but also be flexible to support a wide range of speeds including 25G, 50G, 100G, 200G and 400G.
The Arista 7388X5 series is a compact modular system built on a single 25.6Tbps packet processor in an extremely compact 4RU form factor that enables flexible port configuration as well as simple maintenance with all elements being field replaceable.
With twice the capacity of the previous generation, the 7388X5 doubles the network radix for high density switching, reduces tiers and simplifies networks. Line rate performance with up to 128 ports of 200G or 64 ports of 400G provides significant improvements to both system density and power efficiency. Combined with proven layer 2 and 3 features the 7388X5 delivers advances in traffic awareness, congestion handling and instrumentation to enhance network wide visibility and monitoring.
The Arista 7388X5, with the Arista 7060X and 7260X portfolio of data center switches, delivers a rich choice of port speed and density including 25G, 100G, 200G and 400G enabling consistent network architectures that seamlessly transition between interface speeds and scale from small dedicated clusters to the needs of the largest multi-tier hyperscale cloud networks.
Combined with Arista EOS the 7388X5 series deliver advanced features for hyperscale networks, serverless compute, big data farms and machine learning clusters.
