Arista DCS-7500R2M-36CQ-LC 36x 100GB QSFP100 MACsec Switch Line Card

Arista DCS-7500R2M-36CQ-LC line card is used in many data centers. The phenomenal growth in demand for bandwidth, driven by mobile, video streaming and cloud applications, is driving the need for connecting several geographically separate data centers to maintain seamless content delivery and provide application agility. One of the major challenges for data center operators is to protect the data from passive wire tapping, intrusion and other attacks. To keep up with the global growth of inter-site bandwidth, interconnecting these data centers has to be operationally simple and economically e!cient while also ensuring security. Traditional transport infrastructure cannot meet the density challenge and most existing encryption solutions require additional systems that are expensive to deploy and manage so deploying bulk data center encryption is challenging. The Arista 7500R Series 100G MACsec line card provides IEEE 802.1AE de#ned MACsec encryption at wire speed on all ports for the secure transport of data, without compromising on either density or performance. The Arista high density MACsec solution is integrated to a 7500R Series 100GbE line card delivering un-compromised performance at an e!cient cost point and is fully compatible with all other 7500R Series line cards. It utilizes proven encryption technology to protect tra!c for simple, reliable and scalable data center interconnect and for securing links between tiers in leaf and spine data center designs. Flexible 100GbE QSFP pluggable optics ensures a broad choice of cost e"ective connections
