Arista 7020R4 Series

Arista 7020R4 Series Universal Leaf Switch/Router

The Arista 7020R4 Series is a portfolio of systems purpose-built to meet the needs of high performance edge applications, for data center leaf, service provider access and high end desktop applications. As part of the R4 family, 7020R4 Series platforms share a common forwarding architecture with dynamic deep buffers for deterministic, lossless forwarding performance and rich functionality, including precision timing and wire-speed TunnelSec™ encryption.

Deep buffers with Virtual Output Queueing (VOQ) are ideally suited to demanding and dynamic environments where congestion and large flows are present such as in Big Data environments or Media and Entertainment. The non blocking architecture improves performance of bandwidth intensive applications found in High Performance Storage or streaming video.

Advanced EOS® features for routing, network virtualization, visibility, telemetry, network monitoring, precision timing and rich automation enable highly scalable and secure IP, MPLS, SR and EVPN-VXLAN based networks.
