The smaller switches like the Arista 710P are meant for deployment out at the edge of the network where you want something small and quiet (e.g. at people’s desks or in conference rooms) to provide more ports without needing as many runs back to the network core where the big loud switches live. They’re still enterpise grade since they support enterprise features like centralized management, VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, etc.

Hell, the switches we’re talking about support OSPF, BGP, VXLAN, the works. THAT is enterprise to me.
