With a choice of 10G SFP+ or 100Mb/1G RJ45, the switch delivers non-blocking forwarding of up to 1.04Tbps combined with feature rich L2 and L3 switching. The 7020R are designed for the high performance environments as a server edge for 1G leaf and spine designs or a high performance storage network switch, where wire speed L2 and L3 forwarding are combined with advanced features for network virtualization, open monitoring and network analysis, resiliency and architectural flexibility. Lossless Architecture With Unparalleled Performance and Scale The Arista 7020R Series Switches uses a deep buffer VOQ architecture consistent with the 7280R Series that eliminates head-of-line blocking and packet drops even in the most congested network scenarios. As a result, the Arista 7020R can handle the most demanding data center requirements with ease, including mixed traffic loads of real-time streaming, multicast, and storage traffic. The switches all use a common dedicated packet processor that delivers consistent features. The 7020R has a high performance quad core CPU and 8GB of system memory to allow for a combination of larger routing tables, vrfs, additional protocols and faster convergence. With support for Arista FlexRoute engine and large forwarding tables along with EOS NetDB the 7020R enable scalability not natively available in typical 1G switches. AlgoMatchTM, a unique Arista innovation to enable more exible and scalable solutions for access control, policy based forwarding and network telemetry is available on the Arista 7020TRA series. A Flexible Universal 1G and 10G Leaf Platform With Arista EOS, the 7020R allows for flexible options at all tiers of the network and deployment scenarios including layer 2 MLAG, layer 3 ECMP, VXLAN Overlay bridging and routing. The flexibility of the L2 and L3 multi-path design options combined with support for open standards provides maximum flexibility, scalability and network wide virtualization that scales to thousands of hosts in a single two-tier design. Arista EOS Arista EOS is a modular switch operating system with a unique state sharing architecture that cleanly separates switch state from protocol processing and application logic. Built on top of a standard Linux kernel, all EOS processes run in their own protected memory space and exchange state through an in-memory database. This multi-process state sharing architecture provides the foundation for in-service-software updates and self-healing resiliency. 7020R Deployment Scenarios Arista 7020R Series Deployment Scenarios Universal Leaf — Delivering high performance and bandwidth with density, resiliency, equal cost multi-pathing, rapid convergence and large routing tables Virtualized and Cloud Data Centers — Large scale resources coupled with a rich L2/L3 feature set and innovative provisioning and monitoring IP Storage — Lossless performance with dynamic deep buffers and predictable low latency in non-blocking systems for consistent application response Digital Media — Low and predictable latency, nonblocking with high density 1G, precision timing and monitoring Big Data and IP Storage — High performance leaf for east-west traffic patterns with advanced monitoring and traffic control features for deterministic performance Content Delivery Networks — Ultra deep buffers create a lossless network for streaming media and content delivery networks that ensures reliable performance under peak loads Hyperconverged Server and Storage Infrastructure — Small form factor system with 10G SFP for local connections and 100G QSFP uplinks allows high performance and non-blocking designs with deep buffers Site-to-Site VPN with IPSec — Secure VPNs for the transmission of of sensitive information over unprotected public networks Edge computing and 5G networks — High performance with compact and power efficient platform with dual 100G uplinks 7020R Series Systems Arista 7020R Series support hot-swappable power supplies and N+1 fan redundancy, EOS high availability, a choice of L2 and L3 multi-pathing designs and powerful EOS innovations for visibility, application level performance monitoring and virtualization.
