The Arista 7050QX 10/40 Data Center Switch Series offers compact and energy-efficient form factors with wire speed L2 and L3 features, for software-defined cloud computing. Both models support a flexible combination of 10G and 40G with the ability to design large leaf and spine networks to accommodate east-west traffic patterns, high-performance compute and big data environments. All Arista switches run on the same Arista EOS modular switch operating system with a unique state-sharing architecture that cleanly separates switch state from protocol processing and application logic.

• A flexible combination of 10G and 40G in a 1U form factor for large leaf and spine networks to accommodate east-west traffic.

• Offers low latency from 550ns in cut-through mode.

• Four SFP+ ports internally shared with the QSFP+ port for direct connect to 10 and 1 GbE interfaces.

• 32 QSFP+ ports in a 1U form factor.

Compact and Energy-Efficient

The Arista 7050QX 10/40 Data Center Switch Series has compact and energy efficient form factors with wire speed L2 and L3 features, combined with advanced features for software defined cloud computing.

Both models 7050QX-32 and 7050QX-32S support a flexible combination of 10G and 40G in a form factor that gives you the ability to design large leaf and spine networks to accommodate east-west traffic patterns found in modern data centers, high performance compute and big data environments.

Power consumption is typically less than 5 watts per 40GbE port.

Flexible and Configurable Ports

With 32 QSFP+ ports in a 1U form factor, The Arista 7050QX 10/40 Data Center Switch Series delivers feature rich L2 and L3 wire speed performance with an overall throughput of 2.56 Tbps.

Offers low latency from 550ns in cut-through mode, and a shared 12 MB packet buffer pool that is allocated dynamically to ports that are congested.

Both offer configuration flexibility with support up to 32x40GbE ports or 24 QSFP+ ports and can be used as 4x10GbE for a 96x10GbE and 8x40GbE system.

In addition, the 7050QX-35 features four SFP+ ports that are internally shared with the QSFP+ port for directly connecting 10GbE and 1G interfaces.
