Arista DCS-7170-64 7170 7170-64 64x QSFP28 Port 100GB-X 2x SFP+ Switch

Product Description

The Arista DCS-7170-64 is a cutting-edge network switch engineered to provide extreme performance and scalability for the most demanding data center and cloud environments. With its 64 ports, each capable of operating at 100Gb/s via QSFP28 interfaces, this switch delivers an aggregate switching capacity that is essential for modern, high-density network architectures. It is ideally suited for use as a spine switch in leaf-spine designs or for high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, AI/ML training, and large-scale data analytics workloads. This switch leverages Arista's advanced switching silicon and the Arista EOS (Extensible Operating System) to provide robust functionality, programmability, and reliability. The low-latency forwarding capabilities ensure that data packets are processed and transmitted with minimal delay, which is critical for latency-sensitive applications. The high port density of 100GbE allows for significant bandwidth aggregation, enabling efficient traffic flow between servers, storage, and other network devices. The DCS-7170-64 is designed for modern data center challenges, offering features such as deep buffers, advanced telemetry, and support for various network protocols. Its ability to handle massive amounts of traffic at wire speed makes it a foundational component for building next-generation networks that require maximum throughput and minimal latency. The QSFP28 ports offer flexibility, supporting breakout configurations for lower speed connections if needed, further enhancing its versatility.
