HPE and Arista share a common vision around the need to deliver secure hybrid IT solutions and experiences built on industryleading software-defined infrastructure-helping customers to operate their workloads with speed and agility to grow their business.
This partnership will provide our customers with proven networking solutions that are superior to legacy alternatives and that complement HPE compute, storage, virtualization, and cloud offerings.
The Arista 7050TX are members of the Arista 7050X series and key components of the Arista portfolio of data center switches. The Arista 7050X series are purpose-built 10/40GbE data center switches in compact and energy efficient form factors with wire speed layer 2 and layer 3 features combined with low latency and advanced features for software defined cloud networking.
Increased adoption of 10 Gigabit Ethernet servers coupled with applications using higher bandwidth is accelerating the need for dense 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet switching. The 7050TX series support from 32 to 96 ports of auto-negotiating 100 Mb/1 Gb/10 GBASE-T and from 4 to 12 ports of 10/40GbE that allow customers to design large leaf and spine networks to accommodate the
east-west traffic patterns found in modern data centers. The 7050TX backwards compatibility with existing gigabit Ethernet cabling reduces the cost of migrating to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and offers an easy evolution.
Featuring a choice of 1RU and 2RU models the 7050TX series deliver high-density 10GbE based RJ45 ports and 10/40 G ports using QSFP+ ports.
All models in the 7050TX series delivers rich layer 2 and layer 3 features with wire speed performance up to a maximum performance of 2.56 Tbps. The Arista 7050TX switches offer low latency and a shared packet buffer pool of up to 16 MB allocateddynamically to congested ports. With typical power consumption of less than 5 watts per 10GbE port, the 7050TX series are power efficient. An optional built-in SSD supports advanced logging, data capture, and other services directly on the switch. Combined with Arista EOS, the 7050X series delivers advanced features for big data, cloud, virtualized, and traditional data center designs.
