Arista 7020R Gigabit Ethernet Data Center Switch Series

HPE and Arista share a common vision around the need to deliver secure hybrid IT solutions and experiences built on industryleading software-defined infrastructure-helping customers to operate their workloads with speed and agility to grow their business. This partnership will provide our customers with proven networking solutions that are superior to legacy alternatives and that complement HPE compute, storage, virtualization, and cloud offerings.

The Arista 7020R series offers a purpose-built, high-performance, and power-efficient solution for high-density data center deployments. With 48 ports of 100/1000 Mb and 6 integrated 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports, the switch delivers non-blocking forwarding of 216 Gbps combined with feature-rich L2 and L3 switching. A natural extension to the 7280R series, the 7020R are members of the Arista portfolio of data center switches.

With broad support for QoS, security, automation, and monitoring features, the 7020R provides an ideal solution to the challenges of implementing network policy consistently in both 1G and 10G environments when combined with the Arista fixed configuration 7280R series 10 and 40 gigabit switches. The 7020R delivers the flexibility to be deployed as the server edge of 1 Gb Ethernet leaf switch. Arista Extensible Operating System (EOS) advanced automation, monitoring, and provisioning features are consistent to all Arista switches, eliminating the complexity associated with managing mixed environments with inconsistent feature sets. The 7020R series deep packet buffers and large forwarding tables allow for a broad set of networking applications.

The 7020TR provides 48 100/1000 Mb RJ45 ports and 6 SFP+ ports for both 1 G or 10 G uplink connections with a full range of optics and cables. The Arista 7020TR switches offer low latency and a deep packet buffer of up to 3 GB that is fully shared and allocated dynamically to ports that are congested.

Consuming under 1 W per gigabit, the 7020TR are extremely power efficient with choices of AC and DC power and built-in power redundancy along with redundant fans supporting either forward or reverse airflow in a single system.

Combined with Arista EOS, the 7020R series delivers advanced features for big data, cloud, virtualized, and traditional designs together with enhancements for video streaming, media, and entertainment.
