Feature Description

Ultra-low Latency

 Fan-out with 5 ns of latency, equivalent to a single meter of fiber or copper interconnect, and aggregate in 39 ns.

Simplified Stack

 Combine your FPGA(s), x86 server and Layer 1 switch in a single device, ensuring that all hardware components work in sync and significantly reduce development time and errors.

Integrated with Existing FPGA Tools

 Remotely develop on the FPGA(s) with ease. Platform specific adapters for programming the FPGA are embedded within 7130 devices, allowing for a quick and easy access by your FPGA development tools to the devices. Connect to the hardware over the network using all your usual development tools.

Layer 1+ Functionality

 Save rack space and reduce complexity by leveraging the layer 1 functionality for scalable broadcast, connection monitoring, remote patching, tapping, media conversion, time stamping. For example: take in a multicast feed, replicate it out to the core infrastructure and route directly to the FPGA, all on the same device with no additional overhead.

Feature Rich

 Avoid the need to build features in-house by leveraging Arista’s access control, syslog, SNMP, packet stats, tcpdump, JSON RPC API, time series data, streaming telemetry and more - included as standard within the 7130 Series.

Easy App Deployment

 Streamline operational processes through Arista’s built-in application infrastructure which allows developers to wrap applications into simple packages for deployment.

Enterprise Ready

 Deploy FPGA applications with ease - the FPGA platform integrates with a 64-bit x86 management processor and the MOS Operating system to provide user extensible solutions.
