The Arista 720XP-24ZY4 delivers high-performance campus access for enterprise edge environments where dependable connectivity and future-ready growth matter. Its 24 SFP28 access ports and 4 QSFP-DD uplinks help keep Wi‑Fi, cameras and connected devices online with strong headroom.
As access-layer demands rise, infrastructure teams need compact switching that keeps mixed device estates connected, powered and easy to manage without expanding cabinet footprint or cabling complexity.
The Arista 720XP-24ZY4 is built for campus access environments that need high-density connectivity at the edge, including distributed offices, shared workspaces and other production sites with localised device concentration. It suits deployments where bandwidth, PoE reach and space efficiency all matter at once.
With 24×SFP28 access ports and 4×QSFP-DD uplinks, the platform provides a clear separation between edge connections and upstream capacity. Its EOS operating system gives the switch a consistent operational model for day-to-day administration.
This design helps teams add access capacity where it is needed, while keeping the switch footprint suited to smaller closets and tighter edge locations. It supports cleaner scaling across moving workloads, connected devices and higher-speed edge links.
For infrastructure refreshes that need the Arista 720XP-24ZY4, our team can help assess where it fits best and how to align it with your access-layer requirements.
The Arista 720XP-24ZY4 is a switching platform for enterprise network environments that need high-density connectivity, EOS-based operations, and a scalable architecture aligned to modern infrastructure demands.
Dense 25G Access Layer
The platform provides 24×SFP28 ports to support high-density access connectivity for aggregated network endpoints.
High-Capacity Fabric Uplinks
Four QSFP-DD uplinks provide a scalable aggregation path for upstream connectivity and larger network domains.
Integrated Switching Scale
The switch delivers 4800 Gbps of switching capacity to support throughput-intensive enterprise network designs.
EOS Operational Platform
Arista EOS provides a consistent software operating model for the switch architecture.
Standardized Network Operations
EOS supports a common operational framework that simplifies management across compatible Arista switching environments.
Resilient Connectivity Design
The combination of SFP28 and QSFP-DD interfaces supports flexible traffic segmentation and uplink planning in enterprise deployments.
Scalable Deployment Model
The platform architecture supports expansion through high-density access ports and higher-capacity uplink aggregation.
If you need to align high-density switching with scalable uplinks and EOS-driven operations, our Arista experts can help design the right network architecture.

The Arista 720XP-24ZY4 is a compact access switch for edge deployments that need faster wired connectivity for wireless, collaboration and connected devices. It fits distributed closets and smaller operational zones where access capacity, PoE and uplink headroom must be balanced carefully.
In boutique hotels and split-floor properties, the switch keeps guest Wi‑Fi APs, room controls, cameras and PoS terminals online from space-constrained closets. Its smaller 24-port format avoids overbuilding the floor edge while preserving service continuity.
Professional services teams often need dependable edge access for video bars, desk phones, room-booking panels and wireless in meeting spaces. This model suits smaller suites where IT wants predictable connectivity without the cabling disruption of a larger refresh.
Healthcare environments rely on stable access for clinical Wi‑Fi, nurse stations, carts, cameras and connected devices. The 720XP-24ZY4 gives ward-edge teams a controlled way to support PoE and traffic separation without overfilling a compact access closet.
Architecture practices moving large design files across shared work areas need stronger office-edge bandwidth for Wi‑Fi, plotters and AV review rooms. This switch supports those smaller project spaces without forcing a full building-wide access rebuild.
Logistics teams use distributed cabinets to keep scanners, APs, cameras and IoT gateways close to the operation. The 24-port design reduces coverage gaps and support visits, while localised switching helps traffic return cleanly to aggregation.
We can help you design and deploy the Arista 720XP-24ZY4 for floor closets, care edges, office suites and warehouse zones, with a focus on cabling, resilience and the operational fit your team needs.
