Product Review

The Arista DCS-7500-SUP2 offers notable scalability and redundancy features, including support for up to 864 100GbE ports per 42U rack and comprehensive redundancy options such as N+N grid redundant power system, 1+1 Supervisor redundancy, and N+1 for both fabric and fan modules. On the downside, its physical dimensions and weight (21.6 cm W x 4.4 cm H x 58.4 cm D, 2.4 kg) may pose challenges for space-constrained installations. Additionally, the unit's power consumption, at 80W typical and 120W maximum, requires careful consideration in planning for energy efficiency and operational costs in dense deployments.

Overview

The Arista DCS-7500-SUP2 is a supervisor engine designed for high-performance computing environments, offering advanced capabilities in processing, memory, and network management. It serves as a critical component in Arista's 7500 series chassis, including the DCS-7508, DCS-7504, DCS-7512N, DCS-7508N, and DCS-7504N, enhancing their functionality and reliability in data center operations. This supervisor module is powered by a 1.9 GHz multi-core, x86, 64-bit processor paired with 32 GB of system memory, ensuring efficient handling of network management tasks and processes. It also features 4 GB of flash storage memory for firmware and configurations, with the option to expand storage via a 120 GB SSD for additional capacity and speed in data logging and software execution. Connectivity options on the DCS-7500-SUP2 are ample, with one RS-232 serial port (RJ-45) for console management, two 100/1000 management ports (RJ-45) for network connections, and two USB 2.0 interfaces for external storage and devices. These ports facilitate easy management and integration into existing network infrastructures. The hardware specifications of the DCS-7500-SUP2 emphasize durability and efficiency, with a compact physical footprint of 8.5” (21.6 cm) in width, 1.75” (4.4 cm) in height, and 23” (58.4 cm) in depth, and a weight of 5 lbs (2.4 kg). It operates within a typical power range of 80W, with a maximum threshold of 120W, demonstrating its energy efficiency. Key features of the Arista DCS-7500-SUP2 include: - N+N Grid redundant power system: This ensures continuous operation and high availability by providing backup power sources in the event of a failure. - 1+1 Supervisor redundancy: A redundant supervisor setup guarantees non-stop service, automatically switching to a backup supervisor engine if the primary encounters a fault. - N+1 Fabric module redundancy: This feature enhances the reliability of the network fabric, allowing for uninterrupted connectivity even if a fabric module fails. Furthermore, the DCS-7500-SUP2 supports both AC and DC power options, accommodates front-to-rear airflow for optimal cooling, and offers a low power consumption rate of 25W per 100GbE port, making it an environmentally conscious choice for data centers. It is capable of supporting up to 864 100GbE ports per 42U rack when fully populated, showcasing its scalability and capacity for large-scale deployments. The inclusion of dual supervisor modules allows for seamless failover and high availability, while the deep packet buffer (24GB per line card) ensures efficient data processing and traffic management, even during peak loads. In summary, the Arista DCS-7500-SUP2 stands out as a powerful and reliable supervisor engine for data centers requiring high availability, scalability, and efficient network management. Its comprehensive feature set, combined with robust hardware specifications, makes it a pivotal component in maintaining smooth and efficient network operations.
