Product Review

The Arista DCS-7308-CH chassis offers high scalability with 8 linecard slots and maximum 10GbE/40GbE port densities of 1,024 and 256 respectively, coupled with a 20 Tbps throughput, catering to demanding network environments. However, its large physical footprint, requiring 13RU of rack space and weighing 299 lbs when fully configured, may pose challenges for space-constrained data centers. Additionally, the system's maximum power consumption of 6000W and the need for 16 fan modules for cooling highlight potential concerns for operational costs and environmental control.

Overview

The Arista DCS-7308-CH is a network chassis designed for high performance and scalability in data center environments. This model features an empty chassis that provides flexibility for customized configurations. It is equipped with two slots for supervisor modules, ensuring 1+1 supervisor redundancy for enhanced system reliability. Additionally, the chassis houses eight slots for linecards, allowing for expansion and adaptation to network demands. For further system robustness, the DCS-7308-CH includes four slots dedicated to fabric modules. These modules are essential for interconnecting linecards and providing the backbone of the system's networking capabilities. Power management is a critical aspect of any network system, and this chassis addresses it with six power supply slots. This design supports an N+N grid redundant power system, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of a power supply failure. Cooling is managed through 16 fan modules, distributed to ensure efficient heat dissipation across the system's components. This is vital for maintaining optimal performance and extending the lifespan of the hardware. The physical dimensions of the DCS-7308-CH are 22.53 inches in height, 17.36 inches in width, and 23.74 inches in depth. This size makes it occupy 13 rack units (RU) in a standard data center rack. Despite its substantial capabilities, the fully configured system weighs 299 lbs, making it manageable for data center operations. - Maximum 10GbE Port Density: 1,024 Ports - Maximum 40GbE Port Density: 256 Ports - Maximum Throughput / Packets per Second: 20 Tbps / 15 Bpps These specifications highlight the chassis's capability to support extensive network architectures, offering a high degree of flexibility in port configurations and throughput capacities. The maximum power consumption of the Arista DCS-7308-CH is 6000W, reflecting its capacity to support a high-density, high-throughput network infrastructure. Operational efficiency is further emphasized by its environmental specifications, with an operating temperature range from 0°C to 40°C and a storage temperature range from -25°C to 70°C. The chassis can operate in conditions with relative humidity between 5% and 95%, and at altitudes from 0 to 10,000 feet, ensuring reliable performance across various data center environments. In summary, the Arista DCS-7308-CH is designed for data centers requiring high-capacity, scalable network infrastructure. Its modular design, redundancy features, and environmental tolerances make it a suitable foundation for building resilient, high-performance networking solutions.
