ARISTA DCS-7280SR-48C6-F - Arista 7280R, 48x10GbE (SFP+) & 6x100GbE QSFP switch, front to rear air, 2x AC

The Arista 7280R series switch offers a robust solution for IT departments and system integrators seeking high-performance networking capabilities. With 48 SFP+ slots supporting 10GbE and six QSFP ports for 100GbE, this switch provides the necessary bandwidth and flexibility for demanding data environments. It operates efficiently with a forwarding rate of 720 Mpps and a throughput of 2160 Mpps, ensuring swift data processing across network layers. The switch's low latency of 3.8 microseconds at 10 Gbps is critical for applications requiring rapid data transmission, enhancing overall network performance.

Designed for reliability, the switch includes dual AC power supplies with redundant power supply support, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of a power unit failure. The unit's front-to-rear airflow design, facilitated by four internal fans, maintains optimal operating temperatures, crucial for maintaining performance integrity in data centers. Its 1U rack-mountable form factor and comprehensive electromagnetic compatibility certifications, including FCC and EN standards, make it a fitting choice for diverse operational environments.

Compatibility and operational efficiency are further bolstered by comprehensive networking standards support, including IEEE standards like 802.1Q and 802.3ae, and advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS), VLAN support, and robust IP routing protocols like BGP and OSPF. These capabilities enable seamless integration into existing network infrastructures while supporting advanced traffic management and security protocols. The switch's ability to handle up to 4096 VLANs and its multicast support make it particularly suitable for large-scale enterprise deployments.
