Bangalore: Arista Networks has introduced Arista 7500, a switching platform for maximizing data center performance, efficiency, and overall network reliability. It is a power efficient 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switching platform.
Arista 7500 has 10 terabits per second of switching capacity and 384 wire speed L2/L3 10GbE ports in only eleven rack-units. "Cloud Networking requires a new class of scale, price/performance, and resilience previously not addressed with existing modular switches," emphasized Jayshree Ullal, president and chief executive officer of Arista Networks.
A low-latency, non-blocking fabric enables traffic to be carried without loss and manages congestion under the most demanding workloads, for any type of network traffic. These capabilities enable large-scale data center consolidation and improve server efficiency, significantly reducing operating costs of the entire IT infrastructure.
The Arista 7500 Series starts at $140,000 and a fully configured system is at the breakthrough price of less than $1,200 per wirespeed port. The Arista 7500 is available now and is in production in mission-critical facilities today.
