Arista’s Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) technology supports a leaf and spine active/active L2 network topology. An Equal
Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) design at Layer 3 scales the network in a fully non-blocking, low-latency, two-stage network that provides
predictable and consistent application performance. 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 hundreds of thousands of
hosts in a single two-tier design. Both designs support overlay networks via EVPN/VXLAN and can integrate with standards-based
overlay controller solutions.
The Arista 7280R3 Series FlexRoute engine provides the flexible scalability to support deployment as a routing platform with Internet
scale routing. Arista FlexRoute along with EOS NetDB enables innovation not natively available in merchant chipsets. Arista EOS
provides operational savings through visibility, automation and improved network operations.
Automating the data center enables customers to dynamically provision computing resources in the most efficient manner while also
meeting business needs by maintaining service level agreements (SLAs). Arista EOS automates complex IT workflows and simplifies
network operations while reducing or even eliminating downtime. Arista EOS rich automation capabilities not only reduce the human
error element in network operations but also enable IT operators to make the network work the way they want.
Arista offers solutions for a variety of approaches to cloud-like network automation. Addressing the needs of the largest public cloud
environments as well as applying those lessons learned in the turnkey CloudVision automation offering.
CloudVision
CloudVision is a network-wide approach for workload orchestration and workflow automation as a turnkey solution for Cloud
Networking. CloudVision extends the EOS publish subscribe architectural approach across the network for state, topology, monitoring
and visibility. This enables enterprises to move to cloud-class automation without needing any significant internal development.
Virtualization
The foundation for Arista's Network Virtualization solutions is VXLAN, an open IETF specification designed to standardize an overlay
encapsulation protocol. Arista solutions range from OVSDB and Openstack integration to BGP EVPN in conjunction with EOS
CloudVision®, a platform for network-wide workload orchestration and workflow automation.
The 7280R3 builds on the deep buffer wire-speed gateway with EVPN/VXLAN for layer-2 and layer-3 stretch within data center as well as
DCI use cases. The 7280R3 is the perfect solution for transit gateway between EVPN domains connected over MPLS.
