Description
The Arista DCS-7060CX-32S-R switch is a high-performance data center and enterprise aggregation platform engineered for environments that require ultra-fast 100 Gigabit fiber connectivity, extremely low latency, and scalable cloud-ready throughput. It features 32 x 40/100 Gigabit QSFP28 ports with breakout support for lower-speed Ethernet deployments, along with 2 x 1/10 Gigabit SFP+ ports for additional high-speed connectivity. This gives the platform exceptional flexibility for connecting spine switches, storage fabrics, virtualization hosts, and high-demand aggregation infrastructure across modern leaf/spine network architectures. Arista rates the 7060CX-32S at up to 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity with wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding in a compact 1RU fixed-form design, while the “R” model designates rear-to-front airflow for hot-aisle/cold-aisle deployment compatibility.
With Arista EOS licensing, this model supports advanced Layer 3 routing, EVPN-VXLAN fabric services, automation, telemetry, and cloud-scale network programmability, with optional feature license packs available depending on deployment requirements. The 7060CX platform is also widely regarded by network engineers as one of Arista’s more proven fixed 100G switching solutions because of its strong breakout flexibility, mature EOS software stability, and reliable production use in spine, leaf, and high-bandwidth aggregation roles—making it an outstanding choice for organizations building resilient, future-ready switching infrastructure designed for substantial long-term growth.
