The products and part numbers covered by this announcement are listed below in Table 1. The last day to order the affected products is April 10th 2020.

Customers with active support contracts for 7280SR and 7280TR systems with AlgoMatch will continue to receive support from Arista TAC (Technical Assistance Center) as long as the 7280SRA and 7280TRA Series systems remain covered under a support contract and are supported by EOS. End of sales for the 7280SR and 7280TR Series non-AlgoMatch is not being announced at this time.

Migration Options

Customers are encouraged to consider migrating new requirements to either the 7280SR and 7280TR Series, which provide the equivalent functionality or the 7280R3 Series with higher performance and increased scale. The 7280SR and 7280TR Series have been available since 2016.
