7130 FPGA-enabled Device
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. |
