Arista EOS
Arista EOS is a modular switch operating system with a unique state sharing architecture that cleanly separates switch state from protocol processing and application logic. Built on top of a standard Linux kernel, all EOS processes run in their own protected memory space and exchange state through an in-memory database. This multi-process state sharing architecture provides the foundation for in-service-software updates and self-healing resiliency.| 7050CX3-32S | 7050CX3M-32S | 7050SX3-96YC8 | 7050SX3-48YC12 | 7050SX3-48YC8 | 7050TX3-48C8 | |
