Innovations Improve Cloud Management
Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) today announced Arista AlgoMatch™,
an innovation for advanced network enforcement for modern cloud
networking along with the new Arista 7160 Series 25/100GbE
programmable platforms. Arista AlgoMatch provides customers with
more flexible and scalable solutions for access control, telemetry
and secure cloud networking.

The workload and workflow flexibility requirements of today's
cloud networks mean that the underlying infrastructure must be free
of the limitations of rigid network policy control mechanisms.
Traditional network policy engines in switch and router solutions
struggle to address the challenges of scale, impose rigidity on
resource allocation and limit the number of enforcement operations.
This results in limited flow visibility and inflexible network
policy enforcement.
By combining general purpose memory technology with advanced
software algorithms, Arista AlgoMatch provides more scale,
performance and efficiency compared to standard implementations of
costly and purpose-built TCAMs (Ternary Content Addressable
Memories) commonly used in traditional silicon chipset
architecture. AlgoMatch provides a packet matching algorithm that
enables flow matching for access control, policy and visibility.
Benefits include a high performance network policy engine with
increased functionality and scale delivered in a cost and power
efficient manner.
New Programmable Platforms at 25/100GbE
As data centers increase bandwidth speeds to keep up with the
massive flow of data coming through the cloud, they must also
balance the capital and operational expenditures associated with
moving to next-generation networks. 25GbE offers the benefits of
enhanced compute and storage efficiency at a long-term cost
structure similar to 10GbE. The Arista 7160 Series is available in
three models, all featuring 25/100GbE ports. The new platform
delivers operational consistency and automated efficiency through
the same common Arista EOS® (Extensible Operating System) and
CloudVision® software.
“25GbE offers a 2.5X performance improvement over 10GbE at a
significant price-per-gigabit discount while using the same cabling
infrastructure,” said Seamus Crehan, president of Crehan Research.
“Unrelenting traffic growth, large scale cloud adoption and the
recent release of the IEEE standard are already starting to drive
the demand for server networking upgrades to speeds of 25, 50 and
100GbE where we expect combined shipments to surpass two million
ports by 2017. This, in-turn, is fueling the strong demand for next
generation 25GbE and 100GbE switches.”
The Arista 7160 Series are high performance data center
platforms delivering support for a programmable forwarding pipeline
and flexible profiles for up to 6.4Tbps and 24MB of dynamic packet
buffer in a set of compact systems.
- AlgoMatch for richer support for more
flexible access control, traffic control and telemetry at 2-6x the
scale of traditional methods with up to 50% lower power.
- Flexible Profiles offer a range of
custom profiles allocating common resources optimally for the
desired network topology with lower complexity for both cloud and
enterprise customers who frequently hit limitations with more rigid
systems
- Unique programmable pipeline
accommodates support for the addition of new encapsulations and
overlay technologies allowing the same system to be used in
multiple roles, extending life-cycles and allow rapid
deployment
- Fully shared 24MB packet buffer that is
available to all ports. Dynamic buffer management is designed for
both speed changes, microbursts or sustained network
congestion.
The 7160 Series is available in three models:
7160-32CQ - 32 x 100GbE, 1RU, or 128 x 25GbE
with 6.4Tbps of performance7160-48YC6 - 48 x 25GbE, 6 x 100GbE with
3.6Tbps of performance7160-48TC6 - 48 x 10GbE BASE-T, 6 x 100GbE
and 2.16Tbps of performance
Availability and Pricing
AlgoMatch will ship on the Arista 7160 Series in Q1 2017. The
Arista 7160 Series are orderable now, shipping in Q1 2017 with
pricing comparable to the 7050X and 7060X Series.
