Arista DCS-7135V-48Y-4QC-R | 7135V 48-Port 25G SFP28 Layer 1+ FPGA Switch, 4x QSFP28

Q: What makes the Arista 7135V different from a standard data centre switch?
A: Unlike conventional packet-switched platforms, the 7135V uses a Layer 1 X-Point crossbar fabric combined with an AMD Versal™ HBM Series FPGA. This enables deterministic, sub-nanosecond Layer 1 switching alongside programmable Layer 1+ functions such as low-latency multiplexing, packet replication, filtering, and high-precision timestamping — capabilities critical for algorithmic trading and ultra-low latency workloads.

Q: Can I deploy custom FPGA applications on the 7135V?
A: Yes. Arista provides an FPGA Development Kit (FDK) that allows customers and third-party developers to build and deploy custom applications on the AMD Versal™ HBM Series FPGA. Pre-built Arista network applications including Low Latency Mux, packet capture, and High Precision Timestamping are also available.

Q: What Arista EOS management features are supported?
A: The 7135V runs the full Arista EOS operating system, supporting Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), LANZ (Latency Analyzer), Linux-based tooling, and CloudVision integration for network-wide workload orchestration, telemetry streaming, and configuration management.

Q: What optics are compatible with the 7135V's 25GbE and 100GbE ports?
A: The 7135V supports Arista E-Series optics, which are engineered for FEC-free operation at both 25GE and 100GE — ensuring the lowest possible latency by eliminating forward error correction overhead on supported links.

Q: What is the warranty and support coverage for the DCS-7135V-48Y-4QC-R?
A: The switch includes a 1-year limited hardware warranty. Optional support upgrades are available, including next business day and 4-hour advance hardware replacement services, for environments requiring higher SLA commitments.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista DCS-7135V-48Y-4QC-R in Australia?
A: Yes. IP Trading stocks Arista networking equipment and ships across Australia. Visit iptrading.com.au or contact the team directly for pricing, lead times, and configuration advice for your deployment.
