HPE and Arista share a common vision around the need to deliver secure hybrid IT solutions and experiences built on industry-leading software-defined infrastructure-helping customers to operate their workloads with speed and agility to grow their business. This partnership will provide our customers with proven networking solutions that are superior to legacy alternatives and that complement HPE compute, storage, virtualization, and cloud offerings.The Arista 7280R Series are key components of the Arista 7000 Series portfolio of data center switches. The Arista 7280R Series are purpose built fixed configuration 10/40/100GbE systems built for the highest performance environments, and to meet the needs of the largest scale data centers. They combine scalable L2 and L3 resources and high density with advanced features for network monitoring, precision timing and network virtualization to deliver scalable and deterministic network performance while simplifying designs and reducing Opex. The 7280R capabilities address the requirements for modern networking and rich multi-media content delivery requiring a lossless forwarding solution in a compact and energy e?cient form factor.
The 7280R can be deployed in a wide range of open networking solutions including large scale layer 2 and layer 3 cloud designs, overlay networks, virtualized or traditional enterprise data center networks. Deep packet bu?ers and large routing tables allow for internet peering applications. The broad range of interfaces and density choice provides deployment flexibility.
The 7280R Series are available in a choice of models with a choice of 10GBASE-T, 10GbE SFP+ with 40/100GbE QSFP uplinks and a range of 1RU and 2RU 40/100GbE systems that o?ers up to 48 ports of wire speed 100GbE in a 2RU system.
7280R support for 100GbE QSFP incorporates a flexible choice of interface speed including 25GbE and 50GbE providing unparalleled flexibility and the ability to seamlessly transition data centers to the next generation of Ethernet performance. The 7280R Series provide industry leading power e?ciency with airflow choices for back to front, or front to back. An optional built-in SSD supports advanced logging, data captures and other services directly on the switch.
Combined with Arista EOS the 7280R Series delivers advanced features for big data, cloud, virtualized and traditional designs.
