Arista 7050X3 32-Port 100G Switch

The Arista 7050X3 Series, represented by the DCS-7050CX3-32S-F, is a 1RU fixed-configuration leaf and spine switch purpose-built for ultra-low-latency, high-density 100 Gigabit Ethernet deployments in modern data centers. Powered by the Broadcom Trident 3 ASIC, it delivers 3.2 Tbps of non-blocking switching capacity across 32 QSFP100 ports, each capable of operating natively at 100GbE or broken out to 4x25GbE or 4x10GbE, providing substantial port-density flexibility without additional hardware. The platform runs Arista's Extensible Operating System (EOS), a single consistent software image that supports VXLAN, BGP EVPN, ECMP, and a broad range of open APIs including eAPI, NETCONF, and gNMI for full programmatic management and telemetry integration.

Designed with deterministic low latency as a primary objective, the DCS-7050CX3-32S-F achieves cut-through forwarding latencies well under one microsecond, making it a strong candidate for financial trading infrastructure, high-performance computing fabrics, and latency-sensitive cloud workloads. The front-to-rear airflow model (denoted by the -F suffix) aligns with standard hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center cooling architectures, and the platform supports redundant, hot-swappable power supplies to eliminate single points of failure. Power consumption is highly efficient relative to aggregate throughput, supporting sustainability goals in dense data center deployments.

As a member of the Arista 7050X3 family, this switch integrates seamlessly into multi-tier Clos and spine-leaf topologies and supports Arista's CloudVision network management and automation platform for centralized provisioning, change control, and real-time streaming telemetry. Its combination of merchant silicon economics, EOS feature depth, and open-standards networking makes it a widely adopted building block for both greenfield hyperscale-style enterprise fabrics and brownfield data center modernization projects.

Ideal for

• Top-of-rack (ToR) leaf switch in spine-leaf data center fabrics connecting high-density 25GbE server deployments via 4x25G breakout cables
• Spine switching layer in mid-scale BGP EVPN/VXLAN overlay fabrics requiring non-blocking 100GbE interconnects between leaf tiers
• Low-latency network infrastructure for electronic trading platforms and financial services applications demanding sub-microsecond cut-through forwarding
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnect providing high-bandwidth, low-latency east-west traffic between compute nodes
• Cloud-scale enterprise data center aggregation supporting automated provisioning workflows via CloudVision and open APIs such as gNMI and eAPI
• Network telemetry and observability infrastructure node leveraging streaming gNMI/gRPC telemetry for real-time traffic analytics and anomaly detection
