7050X3 Series | Model and Platform Overview

High Availability

The Arista 7050X3 series switches are designed for high availability

from both a software and hardware perspective. Key high availability

features include

• 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies and four N+1 hot-swap fans

• Color coded PSU’s and fans

• Live software patching

• Self healing software with Stateful Fault Repair (SFR)

• Smart System Upgrade (SSU)

• Multi-chassis LAG for active/active L2 multi-pathing

• 128-way ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy

The Arista 7050SX3-48C8, 7050SX3-48C8C and 7050TX3-48C8 are 1RU systems with 48 port of 10G and 8 ports of 100G with an

overall throughput of 2.56 Tbps. The SX3 high density 10G ports can be configured for a mix of 10G/1G speeds to facilitate mixed

connections and the TX3 RJ45 ports allows 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds. The QSFP100 ports allow 100GbE or 40GbE as network

uplinks, with a rich choice of transceivers and cables for both leaf and spine deployment. With no oversubscription, the switch is

optimized for high performance deployments with consistent features.

The Arista 7050SX3-96YC8 is a 2RU system with 96 ports of 25G and 8 ports of 100G with an overall throughput of 6.4 Tbps bi-

directional. The high density SFP ports can be configured in groups of 4 to run either at 25G or a mix of 10G/1G speeds. The QSFP100

ports allow for a choice of 5 speeds including 100GbE, 40GbE, 4x10GbE, 4x25GbE or 2x 50GbE with a wide choice of transceivers and

cables enabling a choice of combinations for both leaf and spine deployment. With low latency and no oversubscription, the switch is

optimized for high density server environments with native 25G connections.
