BrightStar Systems specializes in used and refurbished Arista switches for data centers, cloud environments, and large enterprise networks. Arista’s 7000-series platforms, powered by Arista EOS and CloudVision, deliver ultra-low latency, massive scale, and advanced automation. Our pre-owned Arista hardware is fully tested, reset to factory defaults, and backed by our 1-Year In-House Warranty, making it a cost-effective alternative to buying new.

Whether you are building a new spine-leaf fabric, upgrading to 25G and 100G, or refreshing an aging top-of-rack layer, BrightStar Systems can help you source the right Arista switch series and models for your design.
Arista Switches Overview
Arista switches are engineered for high-performance environments, combining non-blocking throughput, deep buffers, and rich telemetry with a modern, programmable network operating system. EOS and CloudVision enable automation, streaming telemetry, and consistent operations from access to core.

Key advantages of Arista switches include:

High-density 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G, and 400G Ethernet
Ultra-low latency options for trading and HPC workloads
Segment routing, VXLAN, EVPN, and advanced L2/L3 features
EOS programmability, automation, and streaming telemetry
CloudVision for centralized visibility and intent-based operations

By choosing used Arista switches from BrightStar Systems, you can preserve capital, shorten lead times, and still deploy hardware capable of running the same EOS features found on new platforms.

Arista EOS Licensing, Software, and Support on Used Hardware
Because we are an independent reseller of used Arista equipment, our switches are supplied without Arista support contracts attached. Customers who require ongoing vendor TAC support, software updates, or CloudVision subscriptions should work directly with Arista or an authorized partner to understand current eligibility and licensing options.

Out of the box, pre-owned Arista switches from BrightStar Systems ship with a working EOS image and are ready to be integrated into your environment. Our team can help you understand platform capabilities and feature sets, but official software entitlement and long-term support policies are ultimately governed by Arista Networks.
