Arista’s white paper presents Etherlink, its Ethernet-based AI networking platform designed to power AI workloads at scale. Unlike siloed InfiniBand setups, Etherlink unifies compute, storage, and networking with open standards. It offers 65% better performance than traditional Ethernet, 30x faster failover than InfiniBand, and 25–50% lower power use. Etherlink supports clusters from 32 to 100,000+ XPUs, combining advanced hardware, AI-aware software, observability, and AI agents for end-to-end optimization. It’s UEC-ready and ideal for building high-performance, scalable, and sustainable AI data centers.
