The Strategic Shift

Brittle hardware silos can't deliver east-west visibility

Legacy three-tier campus architectures were designed for predictable, localized traffic. Distributed workforces and IoT data deluge break that assumption. The defining operational pain is "blind" troubleshooting — performance degrades, and the team relies on guesswork because the tools never had real-time east-west telemetry. A single config error cascades into hours of downtime. The fix isn't more hardware; it's software-driven cloud networking applied to the enterprise.

EOS: The Architecture of Reliability

A modular OS designed to keep running

Built on a standard Linux kernel with a unique state-sharing architecture. Switch state, protocol processing, and application logic — cleanly separated.

Stateful Fault Containment

Errors stay isolated within protected memory spaces. A failing process doesn't take down the system — or the fabric.

Stateful Fault Repair

A failed process automatically restarts and recovers its last known state from the central database — often without disrupting the data plane.

Single binary image

The same EOS image across the entire portfolio. Eliminates "version sprawl" — certify once, run everywhere from edge to core.

In-Service updates

Apply bug fixes and security patches without rebooting. Maintenance windows shrink; surface area to vulnerabilities shrinks faster.

From Blind Troubleshooting to Cognitive Guidance

Move IT from reactive firefighters to proactive architects

CloudVision provides a single pane of glass — wired and wireless — with state-based change management. The Client Journey Dashboard tracks every connection step in real time, surfacing exactly where association, authentication, or DHCP fails. Autonomous Virtual Assist (AVA) uses AI to diagnose root causes automatically — channel contention, interference, band-steering recommendations — often before a user reports the issue.

Hardware that Holds Up

Calm Confidence: redundancy and efficiency at every tier

The 7060X and 7260X anchor 100G density. The 7010X extends EOS to 1G/10G/25G edge. All built around the same operational model.

1+1 redundant power

Load-sharing PSUs >93% efficient. N+1 hot-swap fans. Reversible airflow. Maintenance happens without downtime.

Unified Forwarding Table

Allocate L2 vs L3 resources to match the workload. Up to 136K MAC entries OR 128K IPv4 routes — same chassis, different roles.

LANZ micro-burst detection

Real-time monitoring of micro-bursts and congestion at nanosecond precision. Move from reactive guessing to deterministic management.

RoCE-ready scale-out

7700R4 distributed Etherlink for accelerated computing at 800G. PFC + ECN keep the fabric lossless when AI traffic arrives.
