Integrating full-featured, programmable switching silicon from industry-leading partners with ultra low latency Layer 1 and highly scalable FPGAs on a single platform allows financial market participants to compose multiple trading logic elements in highly scalable, low latency switching fabrics.

The expanded 7130 Series of low latency programmable switches includes two new models that integrate full-featured L2/3 switching and open programmability with high performance L1 connectivity. They both run Arista EOS^Ⓡ and integrate with CloudVision^Ⓡ, supporting the broad range of switching, routing, DANZ monitoring and programmability across Arista’s extensive portfolio.

“Cboe is one of the world’s largest global market infrastructure providers and delivers leading-edge technology that powers markets and serves investors around the globe,” said Curt Schumacher, Senior Vice President, Infrastructure at Cboe Global Markets. “As we continue to invest in our infrastructure to drive our ongoing expansion into new markets and regions globally, we expect Arista’s solutions will provide new ways to further enhance application performance and scale, without compromising on efficiency, in our business.”

Key Features:

• Reduces network latency to support the increasing demands of financial trading solutions
• Dynamically composes key FPGA, networking and software applications within a single tier to increase application performance and reduce complexity
• Consolidates servers, network and FPGA devices to reduce footprint, power and cost
• Scales out applications to support larger numbers of clients, venues or data streams

The 7130LBR Series are 96 port systems combining the ultra low latency Layer 1 X-Point with two high performance FPGAs, Broadcom Jericho2 switching silicon, a powerful CPU and precision timing hardware, enabling consolidation of network, server and custom FPGA applications into a highly compact form factor. Compared to traditional multi-box approaches, the 7130LBR reduces device and network hop count, cabling, power and cost while providing orders of magnitude density and latency improvements through co-location of these key components.
