Arista 7280R4 Series

Arista 7280R4 Series Technical Specifications

The 7th generation Arista 7280R4 Series is a family of purpose-built 800GbE fixed systems designed for the highest performance environments including Cloud data center, AI/ML, Content Delivery, Service Provider, IP storage, Enterprise leaf and spine networks, Data Center Interconnect and IP Peering.

Wire speed L2 and L3 forwarding are combined with strong encryption and advanced features for network virtualization, open monitoring and network analysis, resiliency and architectural flexibility with deterministic performance. Virtual Output Queueing (VOQ) with deep packet buffers and large routing tables maximize performance for demanding applications and the broad range of interfaces and density choice provides deployment flexibility to augment or update existing infrastructure, providing investment protection.

All Arista 7280R4 Series support FlexRoute™ engines providing the scalability to support Internet scale routing. The 7280R4K Series adds scalability to over 5M IP routes, support for line-rate encryption and extensive policy rules with Algorithmic ACLs.

7280R4 Benefits

• Standards-based high density 800G and 100G switches ideal for future proof designs and high bandwidth needs such as in High Performance Storage or Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), AI/ML and Service Provider Backbones
• Dynamic deep buffers up to 32 GB, ideal for spine deployments where lossless performance and in-cast traffic is a concern such as in data analytics and IP storage
• Directly connected 50G, 100G, 200G and 400G attached storage systems, requiring high performance and predictable latency
• Line rate TunnelSec AES-256-GCM strong encryption. MACsec, IPsec and VXLANsec for point-to-point and end-to-end data security
• Comprehensive, wire-speed, cloud data center virtualization and carrier routing with EVPN-VXLAN, MPLS and Segment Routing
• Precision Timing for Enterprise, Broadcast and Service Provider with IEEE 1588 PTP and Synchronous Ethernet enables accurate timing solutions across Ethernet based networks without costly investment in separate timing networks
• Streaming network state for advanced analytics with CloudVision®
• Unique monitoring and provisioning features – LANZ, DANZ, AEM,, ZTP, VM Tracer, VXLAN, and eAPI
• Comprehensive L2 and L3 feature set for open multi-vendor networks with no proprietary lock-in
• Accelerated sFlow and IPFIX for network forensics
• Large scale L2, L3 and policy resources allow deployment flexibility with any-workload suitability
• NEBS compliance and DC power supplies designed for service provider environments
