Arista Leaf & Top-of-Rack Maintenance — vendor-independent service for 7050X to 7160
We service Arista Leaf and Top-of-Rack switches after factory warranty and Arista A-Care — vendor-independent, with OEM power supplies, fan trays and optics, SLA up to 24×7×4. Complete family: 7050X series (mainstream Leaf), 7060X series (high-density 100/400G), 7150/7160 (low-latency for trading and HPC), 7020/7010T (older, often EOSL). 30 to 60 percent below Arista A-Care, up to 70 percent on EOSL models.
Which Leaf/ToR models we service
Arista Leaf and Top-of-Rack switches cover the entire data center access spectrum. Four model families coexist: 7050X (older and current X3 generation, 10/25/100G), 7060X (high-density 100/400G for modern workloads), 7150/7160 (low-latency switches with sub-microsecond latency for high-frequency trading and HPC), and the older 7020/7010T line (EOSL reached but still productive in DACH fleets).
Why TPM maintenance for Arista Leaf/ToR
Arista A-Care sits at the upper market segment — a typical spine-leaf fabric with 24-48 leaf switches adds up to five to six-figure maintenance budgets per year. The hardware layer of the leaf switches is comparatively simple (single-ASIC boxes without modular chassis), the complexity lies in the EOS software stack with MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, IP Fabric and CloudVision integration. TPM uses this separation — we replace hardware maintenance (power supplies, fan trays, optics, box replacement if needed) at 40-50 percent of the A-Care price, EOS and CloudVision continue independently.
We service Arista Leaf/ToR switches with OEM power supplies, fan trays and optics from our own warehouse. 7050X series has gone through several generations over the years (X, X2, X3) — components are not interchangeable across generations, so we stock all variants. For low-latency 7150/7160 switches, hardware components are identical to 7050X, but EOS configuration is optimized for sub-µs latency — TPM does not affect latency optimization because EOS remains unchanged.
Generations timeline & TPM coverage
Per hardware generation: vendor phase (slate) and TechCare coverage window (teal) up to ~5 years post-OEM EOSL.

EOSL status of Leaf/ToR generations
Arista leaf generations follow a 7-9 year lifecycle. 7020/7010T and early 7050X have reached EOSL, 7050X2 is approaching, 7050X3 and 7060X are current.
