Key Features of the Arista 7050SX3-48YC8

High-Speed 25GbE Server Connectivity

The switch features 48 SFP ports supporting 1GbE, 10GbE and 25GbE connections. This flexibility allows network administrators to connect servers, storage systems and other compatible network devices while planning for increased bandwidth requirements.

Eight 100GbE Uplink Ports

Eight QSFP interfaces support 40GbE and 100GbE connectivity, depending on the selected optics, cables and configuration. These interfaces can provide high-speed links between switches, aggregation layers and spine switches in a data centre fabric.

High Switching Capacity

The Arista 7050SX3-48YC8 delivers up to 4 Tbps of bidirectional switching throughput. Its architecture is designed for demanding workloads that require high bandwidth and low-latency Ethernet switching.

Low-Latency Switching

The platform is designed for low-latency networking, making it suitable for server-to-server traffic, virtualised environments and applications that require fast data exchange.

Arista EOS Software

The switch runs Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS), providing network management, monitoring, automation and enterprise data centre networking features. Supported capabilities depend on the installed EOS version and configuration.

Compact 1U Rack-Mount Design

The 1U form factor helps maximise rack space in data centres, telecommunications facilities and enterprise server rooms. Supported power supply and cooling configurations should be confirmed for the specific unit being purchased.

Applications

Data centres: Connect servers and storage infrastructure using high-speed Ethernet interfaces.

Cloud computing: Support scalable networking for cloud and virtualised environments.

Enterprise infrastructure: Provide high-capacity switching for demanding business applications.

Leaf-and-spine networks: Connect server-facing leaf switches to high-speed spine or aggregation layers.

Network aggregation: Aggregate high-speed links between compatible network devices and switching layers.
