7010X Series Data Center Switches

Data Sheet

Arista EOS

The Arista 7010X Series runs the same Arista EOS software as all Arista products,

simplifying network administration. Arista EOS is a modular switch operating system

with a unique state sharing architecture that cleanly separates switch state from

protocol processing and application logic. Built on top of a standard Linux kernel, all

EOS processes run in their own protected memory space and exchange state

through an in-memory database. This multi-process state sharing architecture

provides the foundation for in-service-software updates and self-healing resiliency.

With Arista EOS, advanced monitoring and automation capabilities such as Zero

Touch Provisioning, LANZ, VMTracer and Linux based tools can be run natively on

the switch with the powerful x86 CPU subsystem.

Overview

The Arista 7010X Series, including the 7010TX-48, 7010TX-48C and 7010TX-48-DC,

offers a purpose built high performance and power efficient solution for high

density data center deployments in a compact system. With 48 ports of 10/100/1000

and 4 integrated 1/10/25GbE SFP ports the switch delivers non-blocking forwarding

of 296 Gbps combined with feature rich L2 and L3 switching. A natural extension to

the 7050X3 Series the 7010X are members of the Arista portfolio of data center

switches.

With broad support for QoS, security, automation and monitoring features, the

7010X provides an ideal solution to the challenges of implementing network policy

consistently in 1G environments when combined with the Arista fixed configuration

7.050X3 Series 10G, 25G and 100 Gigabit switches. The 7010X delivers the flexibility

to be deployed as the server edge of 1Gb Ethernet leaf and spine designs or as a

high performance out of band (OOB) management network switch. Arista EOS

advanced automation, monitoring and provisioning features are consistent to all

Arista switches, eliminating the complexity associated with managing mixed

environments with inconsistent feature sets. The 7010X Series flexible forwarding

tables allow for a broad set of networking applications including VXLAN and EVPN.

The 7010TX-48, 7010TX-48C and 7010TX-48-DC all provide 48 10/100/1000Mb RJ45

ports and 4 SFP ports for 1G, 10G or 25G uplink connections with a full range of

optics and cables. The Arista 7010X switches offer low latency under 3 microseconds

and a packet buffer of 4MB that is fully shared and allocated dynamically to ports

that are congested. Consuming just 0.3 W per gigabit, the 7010X are power efficient

with choices of AC and DC power, power redundancy along with hot-swap fans

supporting both forward and reverse airflow in a single system.

Combined with Arista EOS, the 7010X Series delivers the flexibility and features for

scale out applications in cloud, virtualized and traditional network designs and

accommodates the myriad different applications and east-west traffic patterns

found in modern data centers.
