DCS-7160-48YC6-R

The Arista 7160 is a high-performance switch designed to handle demanding data center environments. It offers a mix of 25GbE and 100GbE ports, making it suitable for aggregating traffic or building leaf-spine topologies. Network engineers and operators in cloud and enterprise data centers often deploy it where dense, low-latency connectivity is needed.

Key Features

• High port density with 48x 25GbE for flexible server and storage connections
• 6x 100GbE QSFP ports for fast uplinks and inter-switch links
• Rear-to-front airflow supports hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center layouts
• Includes two AC power supplies for power redundancy and uptime
• Supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features for complex network setups

This switch is commonly found in enterprise data centers and cloud service provider networks. Its combination of speed and port count makes it ideal for consolidating server connections or serving as a leaf switch in a spine-leaf architecture. The rear-to-front airflow helps align with existing data center cooling patterns, and dual power supplies ensure continuous operation.
