In later photos, the ToRs appear to be Arista as well. It also appears they tend to have only 24 servers/rack, so a non-blocking ToR could be a 48x10G switch. Although I suppose 4x40 could be used as 16x10G here with the 48 port ToR.
EDIT:
Scratch that, I forgot about the OpenCompute design, it looks like they have 42-48 server per rack in some cases.
- tw04 12y agoThose are DEFINITELY Arista 7304's. So much for "none of the big vendors made a switch that fit our needs so we built our own". Just seems odd they'd claim they built all of their own switches, then post those pics.
- virtuallynathan 12y agoTheir own switch seems kinda goofy - its was huge and only 16x40G...
