EVPN virtualization and QoS services are included in Arista's common binary EOS' extensive, standards-based layer 2 and 3 feature set. EOS supports all mission-critical voice, video, and general-purpose applications on the campus, as well as standards-based 802.1X access control and LLDP device identification services to automate admission and segmentation of users, appliances, and users.
Together, the switching and Wi-Fi platforms from Arista's family are managed by a single Cognitive Campus management plane in Cloud Vision, which offers automated analytics, database archival, and real-time telemetry in sub-second increments for managing and keeping track of the Campus-Cloud Network's infrastructure, users, and applications.
The 7280R3's capabilities satisfy the needs for contemporary networking and the delivery of rich multi-media content, which call for a lossless forwarding solution in a small, power-saving package. In addition to large-scale layer 2 and layer 3 cloud architectures, overlay networks, virtualized or conventional enterprise data center networks, the 7280R3 can be used in a variety of open networking solutions.
Internet peering, interconnect, and inter-DC networking are made possible by deep packet buffers and huge routing tables. Flexible deployment is made possible by the wide selection of interfaces and densities. The 7280R3 Series comes in a variety of versions with options for 400G, 100G, and 25G, and can accommodate up to 24 400G wire speed ports in a 1RU system.
With the 7280R3's support for 100G QSFP, users have a flexible choice of interface speeds, including 25G and 50G, enabling unmatched flexibility and the ability to smoothly upgrade data centers' Ethernet performance to the newest standard. The 7280R3 Series offers front-to-back or back-to-front airflow options and offers the best power efficiency in the industry.
Advanced logging, data grabs, and other services are supported directly on the switch by an optional built-in SSD. The 7280R3 Series offers cutting-edge functionality for big data, cloud, virtualized, and traditional designs when combined with Arista EOS.
