Arista 7060X3 32-Port 100GbE Data Centre Switch

The Arista 7060CX3-32S is a high-performance data centre switch for dense spine deployments, helping teams build compact fabrics for virtualisation, storage and private cloud. Its 100GbE QSFP28 connectivity and hot-swappable power supplies support predictable, resilient east-west traffic in demanding environments.

Arista 7060X3 Switch Overview

As rack densities rise and more traffic stays within local clusters, infrastructure teams need compact switching that keeps high-volume east-west flows close to the workloads and out of the shared core.

Compact 100GbE Switching for Dense Pods

The Arista 7060CX3-32S is a fixed-configuration data centre switch for leaf or spine roles in environments built around 100GbE server, storage and fabric links. It fits neatly into rack-scale pods where space, port consistency and predictable scaling matter.

Built for High-Capacity Local Fabric Design

With 32×QSFP28 ports at up to 100G and 6400 Gbps of switching capacity, the platform supports dense connectivity without forcing teams into modular hardware. Running EOS, it slots into standard operating models and keeps administration aligned with established Arista tooling.

Operational Fit for Consolidated Workloads

That makes it a practical fit for virtualisation clusters, storage nodes, databases and private-cloud hosts that benefit from a self-contained fabric. It gives teams a cleaner way to isolate workload traffic, retain low-latency paths and expand in repeatable blocks.

For compact 100GbE deployments, Arista 7060CX3-32S provides a straightforward path to denser switching. Our team can help assess where it fits in your production fabric.

Arista 7060X3 Switch Deployment Scenarios

The Arista 7060CX3-32S is a compact switching platform for dedicated pod fabrics in data centres, finance, media production, software test environments and telecoms labs. It fits teams that need local, low-latency connectivity for clustered workloads without placing pressure on the shared core.

Virtualisation and private cloud pods

In data centres, this switch suits rack- or pod-level virtualisation and private-cloud builds where east-west traffic stays inside the workload zone. It helps teams isolate server traffic, keep switching close to the hosts and scale each pod in a repeatable way.

Database and analytics clusters

Finance teams can use it for contained database, replay and risk-analytics stacks that need predictable latency around a single application group. The dedicated fabric keeps time-sensitive traffic separate from general enterprise switching and gives operators tighter control over performance.

Post-production media fabrics

For media and entertainment sites, it supports edit suites, render nodes, ingest servers and shared storage that move large files continuously. Placing the switch inside the production pod reduces reliance on the wider network and gives post-production teams a more stable local path.

CI/CD and container test pods

Software development teams can build repeatable CI/CD, container and performance-lab pods where build workers, artefact repositories and test databases exchange heavy internal data. This keeps test traffic off shared infrastructure and makes lab environments easier to recreate.

NFV and packet-core validation labs

In telecoms, it fits movable NFV, packet-core and appliance test beds that need a self-contained fabric for routers, firewalls, packet brokers and traffic generators. Engineers can assemble or relocate the lab without depending on production aggregation capacity.
