NSW-IX 400G Backbone

Due to the growing demand for network capacity, we’re in the process of procuring hardware and planning the implementation of a 400Gbps backbone ring across Sydney. Backed by the Arista 7280DR3 series platform, this expanded backbone will ensure that our network has capacity to meet existing and future demand for our services across NSW-IX.

The 7280DR3 is part of the Arista 7000 Series that are purpose built for 25G, 100G and 400G systems and are designed to be of the highest performance environments. With 9.6Tbps wire speed performance and 16GB buffer, this piece of hardware supports 24 x 400G OSFP-DD or up to 96 x 100G.
