The Arista 7050 series switches offer wire speed layer 2/3/4 performance with 52 ports of 10GbE in a compact 1RU chassis. With a typical power consumption of less than 2 watts/port with twinax copper cables, and less than 3 watts/port with SFP/ QSFP lasers, the 7050 Series provides industry leading power efficiency for the data center.
In cut-through mode, the Arista 7050 series switches forward packets with a latency of nanoseconds. Upon congestion, the packets are buffered in shared packet memory that has a total size of 9 MBytes. Unlike other architectures that have fixed per-port packet memory, the 7050 switches use Dynamic Buffer Allocation (DBA) to allocate up to 5 MB of packet memory to a single port for lossless forwarding.
The 7050 series switches offer advanced capabilities for network provisioning. With ZTP, the switch can be automatically provisioned through a centralized management system with a dynamically generated configuration and preferred boot image.
