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.

Arista 7050X3 Series

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.

Model Overview

Arista 7050CX3-32S and 7050CX3-32C

32x 100G QSFP100 ports, 2 SFP+ ports. The 7050CX3-32S and the 7050CX3-32C are 1RU systems with 32 100G QSFP100 ports offering wire speed throughput of up to 6.4 Tbps bi-directional. Each QSFP port supports a choice of 5 speeds with flexible configuration between 100GbE, 40GbE, 4x10GbE, 4x25GbE or 2x50GbE modes for up to 128 ports of 10GbE and 25GbE or 64 ports of 50GbE. All ports can operate in any supported mode without limitation, allowing easy migration from lower speeds and the flexibility for leaf or spine deployment.

Arista 7050SX3-48YC12

48x 25G SFP and 12x 100G QSFP ports. The Arista 7050SX3-48YC12 is a 1RU system with 48 ports of 25GbE SFP and 12 ports of 100GbE QSFP100 with an overall throughput of 4.8 Tbps. The high density SFP ports can be configured in groups of 4 to run either at 25G or a mix of 10G/1G speeds. The QSFP ports allow for a choice of 5 speeds including 100GbE, 40GbE, 4x10GbE, 4x25GbE or 2x 50GbE with a wide choice of transceivers and cables enabling a choice of combinations for both leaf and spine deployment. With low latency and no oversubscription, the switch is optimized for high performance server and storage deployments.
