The Arista 7060X and 7260X Series are a range of 1RU and 2RU high-performance 25G, 40G, 100G, and 400G high density, fixed configuration, data center switches with wire speed layer 2 and layer 3 features, and advanced features for software-driven cloud networking. The Arista 7060X and 7260X deliver a rich choice of interface speed and density allowing networks to seamlessly evolve from 10G/40G to 25G/100G and 200G/400G. With support for advanced EOS features these switches are ideal for large scale cloud, traditional, and fully virtualized data centers. The Arista 7060SX2-48YC6 and 7060CX2-32S provide support for IEEE 25GbE and support a shared packet buffer pool of 22 MB with a consistently low latency of 450ns.

 

 

 

The Arista 7260CX3-64 combines a high-performance packet processor with low latency and a 42MB buffer. Additionally, it supports IEEE 25G, enhanced traffic optimization features, hitless speed changes, and flexible resources for large scale cloud and virtualized environments.

The Arista 7060X4 Series deliver high-density 400G with a choice of industry-standard OSFP and QSFP-DD interfaces in 1U systems optimized for Hyperscale Cloud, AI, and Machine Learning environments in addition to data-intensive HPC workloads requiring consistent low latency. The 7060X4 include rich EOS features including advanced instrumentation, multipathing, and traffic management tools that improve network resilience and congestion management in large scale multi-tier networks.

The 7060X and 7260X support a flexible combination of speeds including 10G, 25G, 40G, and 100G in compact form factors that allow customers to design networks to accommodate the myriad different applications and east-west traffic patterns found in modern data centers whilst providing investment protection.
