Arista DCS-7050SX3-48YC8-F 48x25G and 8x100G Data Center Switch

The Arista DCS-7050SX3-48YC8-F is a high-density, fixed-configuration switch purpose-built for contemporary data centers. Featuring 48×25G SFP28 ports and 8×100G QSFP uplinks, it balances port flexibility with high throughput. Consequently, it supports efficient leaf or spine roles in cloud-scale networks, while delivering strong performance in a compact 1U form factor. Moreover, its front-to-rear airflow design optimizes cooling in modern hot-aisle/cold-aisle architectures.

Key Features and Benefits: (DCS-7050SX3-48YC8-F )

• Flexible, High-Density Connectivity: 48×25G SFP28 user ports plus 8×100G QSFP uplinks. Therefore, it supports both east-west and north-south scalability needs.
• Robust Throughput & Performance: Delivers up to 3.6 Tbps switching capacity with wire-speed L2/L3 forwarding, and industry-class packet handling for demand-heavy workloads.
• Low-Latency & Congestion Handling: Offers ultra-low latency with dynamic buffering to manage micro-bursts and maintain performance.
• Optimized Cooling & Compact Design: Front-to-rear airflow, redundant fans, and tool-less rails make installation faster and more resilient. Furthermore, energy-efficient components reduce operational costs.
• Powered by Arista EOS: Uses the modular Extensible Operating System (EOS) for advanced automation including VXLAN, LANZ, DANZ, ZTP, CloudVision, and comprehensive telemetry.

Use Cases:

• Cloud-Scale Leaf-Spine Fabrics: High-density, low-latency switching optimized for east-west traffic patterns.
• Data Center Interconnect (DCI): High-performance aggregation layers between clusters or pods.
• High-Performance Compute Networks: Accelerates scientific workloads, AI clusters, and HPC traffic with minimal delay.
• Enterprise Virtualized Environments: Supports flexible tenant segmentation and automation through EOS integration.
