Description

The Arista DCS-7050CX3-32S-F is a high-performance, fixed configuration switch built for modern data centers. With 32 QSFP-100 ports and 2×10G SFP+ uplink ports, it delivers dense, high-speed connectivity. Moreover, its front-to-back airflow design enhances cooling efficiency in traditional rack layouts. It offers wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding, and supports up to 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity alongside ~2 billion packets per second forwarding rate. Because latency is kept around 800 nanoseconds, it suits environments that demand swift, predictable responses.

One notable feature is its low-latency capability at around only 800ns response time. This enables fast data transfer between connected devices such as servers or storage systems, resulting in reduced lag times during peak usage periods.

Key Features & Benefits (Arista DCS-7050CX3-32S-F)

• Provides 32 × 100G QSFP100 and 2 × 10G SFP+ ports, giving you flexible connectivity options for core, leaf, or aggregation roles.
• Delivers 6.4 Tbps system capacity and ~2 Bpps forwarding rate—thus ensuring high bandwidth even under heavy server or storage traffic.
• Uses a shared 32 MB packet buffer that dynamically allocates space during bursts, helping prevent packet loss under congestion.
• Built with redundant AC power supplies and hot-swappable fans, so you can maintain uptime during component maintenance.
• Runs Arista EOS software with support for advanced network automation, telemetry, and monitoring features.

Use Cases

• Deploy as a leaf switch in spine-leaf architectures where every rack needs full 100G uplinks.
• Use in cloud compute or AI cluster environments that require very high throughput with low latency.
• Serve as a core-aggregation switch in enterprise data centers connecting multiple racks or pods.
• Ideal for organizations moving from 40G to 100G, or needing to support mixed speed optics across their network.
