Product Description

The Arista DCS-7280TRA-48C6-R is a high-performance network switch designed for data center and enterprise environments. It provides a combination of 10GbE and 100GbE ports, ideal for both aggregation and core layers in modern data center networks. Its robust design, high-density port configuration, and advanced features make it an excellent choice for large-scale, high-performance networks.

Features & Specifications
Ports and Connectivity

48 x 10GbE RJ45 Ports: These provide high-density, reliable connectivity for a variety of devices, including servers, storage, and other network equipment in data centers or enterprise networks. The 10GbE RJ45 ports are ideal for environments with large numbers of endpoints.
6 x 100GbE QSFP28 Ports: These high-speed ports enable fast uplinks for connecting to other switches, core routers, or high-performance devices. The 100GbE uplinks allow for scaling the network to meet growing demands for bandwidth-intensive applications, such as high-frequency trading, cloud services, and data analytics.

High-Performance Switch

Throughput: The switch offers wire-speed performance, meaning it can handle large amounts of data without bottlenecks, crucial for high-throughput environments.
Low Latency: Arista switches are known for their ultra-low latency, ensuring minimal delay in data transmission, which is vital for applications requiring real-time data processing.

Front-to-Back Airflow

The front-to-back airflow design ensures efficient cooling, maintaining optimal temperature and performance. This feature helps prevent overheating and ensures that the switch operates at peak performance even under heavy workloads.

Compact 1U Form Factor

The 1U rackmount form factor allows for easy installation in standard server racks, saving valuable space in data centers. This makes the DCS-7280TRA-48C6-R ideal for environments where rack space is limited but high port density is required.

Power Supply and Redundancy

The DCS-7280TRA-48C6-R is equipped with dual AC power supplies, ensuring continuous operation and providing redundancy in case of power supply failure. This increases network reliability, which is critical for mission-critical applications.
Energy-Efficient Design: Despite its high-performance capabilities, the switch is designed to be energy-efficient, helping reduce operational costs related to power consumption and cooling.

Advanced Networking Features

VXLAN Support: The switch supports VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN), enabling scalable network virtualization. This is particularly useful for building modern, multi-tenant data center environments.
Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Simplifies deployment and configuration, reducing the operational overhead and making the switch easier to manage at scale.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Capabilities: Provides a comprehensive set of Layer 2 (e.g., VLAN, Spanning Tree) and Layer 3 (e.g., OSPF, BGP) features to enable complex networking tasks like routing, traffic segmentation, and network management.

Monitoring and Visibility

The switch includes advanced monitoring tools to provide real-time insights into network performance. This is essential for proactive network management and troubleshooting.
Cloud Vision Integration: Arista's Cloud Vision platform enables centralized management of the network, allowing for easy automation and visibility across the entire infrastructure.
