About the Arista 7130 Series Ultra-Low Latency Platform
The management model—L2/L3, BGP/OSPF, VXLAN/EVPN—determines your fabric role, and the Arista 7130 Series Ultra-Low Latency Platform delivers the architectural foundation required for latency-critical datacenter deployments. Purpose-built for financial trading, HPC, AI/ML clusters, and other latency-sensitive environments, this platform combines Arista's FPGA-based cut-through hardware forwarding with nanosecond-class port-to-port latency to eliminate jitter and processing delays at the switching fabric level. Network engineers and IT infrastructure teams deploying ultra-low-latency requirements will find the DCS-7130-96C's 96 × QSFP28 100GbE port density delivers the throughput density needed for high-speed cluster interconnects and trading floor backbone architectures.
The 7130 Series integrates Arista EOS (Extensible Operating System), delivering consistent feature support across the Arista 7000 Series ecosystem including advanced telemetry and analytics. Integration with Arista CloudVision enables streaming telemetry and state management, allowing centralized monitoring and orchestration across your fabric. The FPGA-programmable forwarding pipeline supports Layer 2 forwarding and MACsec encryption, while the reconfigurable FPGA fabric adapts to application-specific profiles—enabling dynamic optimization for algorithmic trading, machine learning inference, or high-performance computing workloads. All of this functionality is delivered in a standard rack-mountable chassis form factor, making the DCS-7130-96C suitable for seamless integration into existing datacenter environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Arista 7130 Series Ultra-Low Latency Platform
Does the Arista 7130 Series Ultra-Low Latency Platform support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
