Arista 7170 Series Multi-function Programmable Switch

The Arista 7170 Series is a programmable, multi-function switch designed for high-performance data center environments requiring advanced packet processing and traffic management. Built on Arista's CloudVision operating system and EOS architecture, the 7170 enables custom pipeline programming through P4 language support, allowing organizations to implement proprietary forwarding logic, telemetry collection, and real-time packet manipulation without vendor constraints.

The DCS-7170-64C model delivers 64 ports of 100G QSFP connectivity, supporting flexible deployment in leaf-spine topologies, disaggregated network architectures, and cloud-scale infrastructure. Its programmable forwarding engine supports stateful packet processing, making it suitable for applications requiring inline security offload, network function virtualization, and dynamic traffic engineering within the same hardware platform.

Optimized for finance, high-frequency trading, and security-sensitive deployments, the 7170 Series combines predictable ultra-low latency with deterministic packet forwarding and comprehensive in-band telemetry capabilities. The switch integrates with Arista's broader ecosystem of network automation, monitoring, and orchestration tools for enterprise-scale operational consistency.

Ideal for

• Load balancing and traffic steering across distributed trading venues and liquidity pools
• Inline DDoS mitigation and volumetric attack defense with custom packet filtering pipelines
• Network telemetry and packet inspection for regulatory compliance and audit trail generation
• Disaggregated network deployments with open NOS integration and multi-vendor interoperability
• Stateful security offload including NAT, connection tracking, and encrypted flow inspection
• Real-time traffic engineering and multi-path forwarding optimization for latency-sensitive applications
