Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
The Arista DCS-7050SX3-96YC8# is a New 1RU fixed-configuration data center switch from the Arista 7050X3 Series, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern spine-and-leaf and high-performance computing architectures. Equipped with 96x 25GbE SFP ports and 8x 100GbE QSFP ports, this switch delivers exceptional port density and bandwidth efficiency in a compact form factor.Running Arista's industry-leading EOS (Extensible Operating System), the DCS-7050SX3-96YC8# offers consistent, programmable network management with robust support for automation tools and open APIs. EOS enables seamless integration with orchestration platforms and DevOps workflows, simplifying network operations at scale.
The 7050X3 Series is purpose-built for ultra-low latency and wire-rate forwarding performance, making it an ideal choice for financial services, enterprise data centers, and cloud-scale deployments. The switch supports a rich feature set including advanced ECMP, VXLAN, BGP EVPN, and comprehensive telemetry capabilities.
Fans and power supply units (PSUs) are field-configurable, allowing operators to tailor airflow direction (front-to-back or back-to-front) and redundancy levels to match specific data center cooling and power infrastructures. This flexibility reduces total cost of ownership and simplifies integration into existing environments.
Available New from WhaleyComm, the DCS-7050SX3-96YC8# is backed by Arista's software support ecosystem and is ready for immediate deployment in production networks.
