Arastra has just announced its 7100 Series of Datacenter Ethernet switches that boasts the highest density 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching solution in the industry. Not only that, it holds the distinction of being the first with an extensible modular network operating system. Some of the innovations include:
The highest 10 Gigabit port density with 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a 1U chassis, supporting a rack level density of 2016 10 Gigabit ports per 42U rack Wirespeed Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching with throughput up to 960 Gbps (gigabits per second) and 714 MPPS (million packets per second) with sub-microsecond latency Multi-chassis fabric scalability up to 4096 10G ports, supporting aggregate throughput of more than 80 Tbps (terabits per second) and 60 BPPS (billion packets per second) Advanced congestion management, including multi-lane flow control and backward congestion notification to maintain maximum throughput in the network Support for 10 Gigabit SFP+ (small form-factor pluggable) optics and copper cabling, including 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, 10GBASE-LRM, 10GBASE-CR, as well as Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE- SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-T Server-rack compatible front-to-back airflow, hot-swappable redundant power supplies, hot-swappable redundant cooling, and dual redundant management ports The Arastra 7100 Series will come in Arastra 7124S with 24 10G SFP+ ports and the Arastra 7148S with 48 10G SFP+ ports variants and will be available only in Q1 next year.
