Arista Modular Switches Aim At Scale Across Networks
Chip designs are advancing beyond lithography machine limits, making chiplets and high-bandwidth interconnects necessary.
AI training workloads are also driving the need for scale out networks, connecting multiple datacenters or regions into a single logical datacenter.
Despite the focus on leaf and spine network architectures, modular switches like the "Magnum" InfiniBand remain relevant, with large port capacities, such as 3,456 ports.
Big, beefy modular switches are still needed for large-scale networks.
Arista's modular switches aim to address this need, providing scale across networks and supporting high-bandwidth applications.
Author's summary: Arista's modular switches support large-scale networks.
