Description

The Arista DCS-7170-32CD-R is a cutting-edge 1RU switch engineered to deliver exceptional performance and massive bandwidth for the most demanding data center and cloud networking applications. Its core feature is 32 QSFP28 ports, each capable of operating at 100 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. This high density of 100GbE interfaces makes it ideal for spine-layer roles in large-scale leaf-spine architectures, high-performance computing clusters, or as an aggregation switch for high-traffic environments. With a colossal switching capacity of 6.4 Terabits per second (Tbps) and a forwarding rate of 4.8 billion packets per second (Bpps), the DCS-7170-32CD-R is designed to handle extreme traffic loads with minimal latency, often below one microsecond. This level of performance is crucial for applications requiring real-time data processing, large-scale data analytics, and high-performance storage networks. The switch supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, providing the flexibility to implement advanced network designs, including complex routing protocols and efficient traffic management. In addition to the primary 100GbE ports, the switch includes two SFP+ ports, which can operate at 1GbE or 10GbE speeds. These provide flexibility for management interfaces, out-of-band connections, or integration with legacy equipment. The DCS-7170-32CD-R is built for reliability in mission-critical environments, typically featuring redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules to ensure continuous operation and facilitate maintenance without service interruption. Its 1RU form factor allows for dense deployment within standard data center racks.
