7500R Series - Arista Networks


  

 

Arista 7500R3 Series Universal Spine and Cloud Networks


Designed for the next generation of large-scale virtualized and cloud networks the Arista 7500R3 Series modular switches are the 3rd generation of the 7500R Series universal spine switches. They combine 400G and 100G density with internet scale table sizes and comprehensive L2 and L3 features. Advanced EOS features for network monitoring, precision timing, VXLAN network virtualization, and EVPN are combined with extensive hardware resources with a wide choice of systems and line cards to support lasting investment protection.

 

7500R3 Series - Arista Networks 

 

The 7500R3 Series enables highly scalable network designs with Segment Routing, MLAG, ECMP, EVPN, and VXLAN technologies.

 

The Arista 7500R3 Series FlexRoute™ engine and EOS NetDB provide the scalability to support the Internet IP routing scale with the low power consumption and fast convergence while scaling to millions of routes.

Arista Algorithmic ACLs enables flexible high scale access controls with expanded pattern matching, combined with sFlow sampling of all interfaces at the full forwarding capacity while providing additional capabilities for filtering.

Arista 7500R3 Series Specifications


The Arista 7500R3 Series of modular switches deliver the industry’s highest performance with 230Tbps of system throughput to meet the needs of the largest scale data centers. With a choice of systems, the 7500R Series provides four, eight or twelve-line card modules, two supervisor modules, and six fabric modules. Designed for continuous operations and with system-wide monitoring of hardware and software components, simple serviceability, and provisioning to prevent single points of failure the hardware architecture supports high-availability with hot-swap of all components.

 

Arista 7500R3 Series Architecture


The Arista 7500R3 Series leverages a deep buffer virtual output queue (VOQ) architecture that is 100% efficient, eliminates head-of-line (HOL) blocking, and virtually eliminates packet drops even in the most congested network scenarios. An advanced traffic scheduler fairly allocates bandwidth between all virtual output queues while accurately following queue disciplines including weighted fair queuing, fixed priority, or hybrid schemes. As a result, the Arista 7500R3 Series can handle the most demanding data center requirements with ease, including mixed traffic loads of real-time, multicast, and storage traffic while still delivering low latency.

 

7500R3 System Comparisons:


Available in compact system design, as a choice of 12, 8, and 4 slots, the Arista 7500R3 Series enables a full range of wire-speed ports from 10G to 400G. It lowers the total cost of ownership as it is designed to be efficient with power per port as low as 25W per 400G port which combined with front to rear cooling to optimize the data center environment produces the most reliable, dense, and power-efficient modular switch.
