DCS-7280SR2-48YC6-R Arista 48x25G SFP28 6x100G QSFP Rear-to-Front Switch

The Arista DCS-7280SR2-48YC6-R switch is commonly deployed in large-scale data centers and cloud environments where high-density 25G and 100G connectivity is essential. It benefits network architects and engineers managing leaf-spine topologies requiring efficient cooling and low-latency performance.

How It's Used:

• Serving as a leaf switch in hyperscale data centers to connect servers with high throughput and minimal latency.
• Implementing spine switches in enterprise campus networks to facilitate scalable east-west traffic flow.
• Supporting virtualization environments by providing dense 25G connectivity for compute clusters and storage arrays.
• Deployed in high-performance computing (HPC) facilities where rear-to-front airflow aligns with rack cooling strategies.
• Integrating into telco edge data centers requiring compact and efficient switches for 5G infrastructure aggregation.

This switch enhances operational efficiency by combining scalable bandwidth with optimized airflow, reducing cooling costs and maintaining network performance as demands grow. Its design supports evolving data center architectures that depend on dense, low-latency interconnects to handle diverse workloads effectively.
