The Arista 7050 series 1/10GBase-T switches offer wire speed layer 2/3/4 performance with a choice of 36, 52 or 64 ports of 10GbE in a compact 1RU chassis. The Arista 7050T switches include 32 and 48 port models with auto-negotiating 100Mb/1Gb/10GBase-T ports with standard RJ45 interfaces and a choice of either 4 40GbE QSFP+ interfaces or 4 10GbE SFP+ ports. The QSFP+ interfaces can operate as either a 40GbE port or as four independent 10GbE ports to provide a total of 64 10GbE ports in the 7050T-64 model. Positioned for data center server access and high performance workstations the 7050T switches offer backwards compatibility with existing standard Gigabit Ethernet cabling and investment protection for migration to 10 Gigabit Ethernet keeping costs down while offering an easy evolution.
The Arista 7050T switches offers flexible support for triple speed 100Mb, 1Gb and 10Gb Ethernet together with a shared 9 MB packet buffer pool that is allocated dynamically to ports that are congested. With a typical power consumption of less than 6 watts/port the 7050T Series provides industry leading power efficiency for the data center. An optional built-in SSD supports advanced logging, data captures and other enhanced services directly on the switch.
