Scaling Low Latency Networks to 25G with Next Generation Arista 7130 Series

November 16, 2023

Working on the cutting edge of low latency networks brings a constant need to go even “faster”. Global financial institutions and financial services firms deploying extremely fast Layer 1 switching have a significant technology challenge to interconnect key systems and in-network applications deployed on FPGAs and, at the same time keep up with increasing market volumes, address burstiness and eliminate as much latency as possible. Technology evolution to higher speeds for HFT networks means a migration to 25G. To effect a smooth transition you need a comprehensive set of platforms for ultra low latency networking, in-network applications and composable custom packet processing.

Arista next generation 7130 Series 25G systems enable customers to upgrade networks to 25G Ethernet and maintain backward compatibility to existing solutions at 10G. When deployed together with the enhanced performance transceivers for 25G they enable HFT networks to become 2.5X faster by reducing queuing and serialization delays.
