Arista 7050X Series Network Switch
The Arista 7050 Series are the benchmark for performance, scale and power efficiency in 1RU data center switches. Increased adoption of 10G servers is accelerating the need for flexible, dense 10GbE/40GbE solutions. The Arista 7050X Series extends the industry leading 7050 Series with increased performance, scalability, density and features designed for software defined networking.7050X Deployment Flexibility
The Arista 7050X Series are a range of compact 1RU and 2RU 10GbE and 40GbE wire speed, low latency and scalable multilayer switches powered by Arista EOS, the worlds most advanced network operating system.The 7050X Series is available in a choice of three ranges, based on the primary interface connectivity option offered by each platform:
- 7050SX Series - 1/10GbE connectivity via SFP+ interfaces
- 7050TX Series - 1/10GbE connectivity via 10GBASE-T interfaces
- 7050QXSeries - 10/40GbE connectivity via QSFP+ interfaces

||
Each of the 7050X ranges offers a variety of density options that provide wide flexibility in building scalable leaf and spine designs. The operational flexibility offered by the entire 7050X series ensures suitability for a variety of deployment scenarios. The following are a selection of use cases:
-
Grid / HPC
— designs requiring cost effective and power efficient systems to enable non-blocking or minimal over-subscription -
Leaf-Spine
— open standards based L2 and L3 with monitoring and visibility features — VM Tracer, LANZ, sFlow and Tracers -
Software Defined Networking
— with support for OpenFlow, DirectFlow, eAPI and VXLAN -
Enterprise server access
— as middle or end of row supporting range of 1G, 10G and 40G connection options without fork lift upgrades -
Enterprise aggregation
— with up to 96 x 10G ports or 32 x 40G - full L2 and L3 features - Dense
top of rack for server racks
— with both rack and blade systems -
40GbE attached storage
— dense NFS systems, high performance -
ECMP designs up to 64-way
— cost-effective multi-pathing using open protocols and the Arista 7300X and 7500E as spine switches
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.| Feature | Description |
