Server-to-server traffic now dwarfs anything leaving the room, and the symptom looks like a slow application. Baseline the fabric before you buy a switch.
The traffic that decides your application performance never leaves the room.
Server-to-server movement now dwarfs anything going in or out. A fabric built for the older shape becomes the ceiling that no amount of extra compute lifts, and the symptom looks like a slow application, not a slow network.
Arista's switching platforms are built for this kind of east-west traffic, with the automation and visibility a fabric this size needs. Underneath it, Molex supplies the copper and fibre connectivity a data centre this dense actually runs on.
Schedule SECCOM to baseline your fabric before you buy anything. Sometimes the bottleneck is storage, and switches will not move the number you care about.
What you get. A measured baseline before the change and the same measurement after. The improvement is a number, not an assertion.
