The Arista 7280SRAM-48C6 is part of the 7280R fixed systems which are keycomponents of the Arista 7000 Series portfolio of data center switches.
The Arista 7280SRAM-48C6 is a high performance compact routing platform with built-in wirespeed MACsec encryption that is purpose built for the highest performance
environments, and to meet the needs of the largest scale data centers. It delivers
scalable L2 and L3 resources and high density with advanced features for network
monitoring, precision timing and network virtualization to deliver scalable and
deterministic network performance while simplifying designs and reducing Opex.The built-in MACsec capability removes the need for external encryption deviceand provides security against intrusion, passive wire tapping and other playback
attacks. MACsec encryption meets regulatory compliance requirements and
provides data protection without loss of performance.The Arista MACsec solution utilizes proven encryption technology to protect trafficfor simple, reliable and scalable data center interconnect and for securing links
between tiers in leaf and spine data center designs. MACsec offers security in the
data link layer and is transparent and non-disruptive to L2/L3 traffic. Flexible 100GbE
QSFP pluggable optics ensures a broad choice of cost effective connections.The 7280SRAM can be deployed in a wide range of open networking solutionsincluding secure Data Center Interconnect (DCI), large scale layer 2 and layer 3
cloud designs, overlay networks and virtualized or traditional enterprise data center
networks. Deep packet buffers and large routing tables allow for internet peering
applications. The broad range of interfaces and density choice provides
deployment flexibility.
