OmniSwitch6900LAN STACKABLE LAN SWITCH
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6900 Stackable LANfamily consists of compact, high-density 10 GigabitEthernet (GigE) and 40GigE switches designed for themost demanding networks. They offer unmatchedversatility to deliver on the promise of the next-generation virtualized data center.
OVERVIEW The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch 6900
Stackable LAN and data center switches are compact,
high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and 40 GigE
platforms. In addition to high performance and
extremely low latency, they offer Virtual Extensible
LAN (VXLAN), OpenFlow, Shortest Path Bridging (SPB),
data center bridging (DCB) capabilities, QoS, Layer-2
and Layer-3 switching, as well as system and network
level resiliency. They are designed for the most
demanding software defined operations in virtualized
or physical networks and converged data centers. With
their modular approach, the OmniSwitch 6900s support
lossless configurations and native fibre channel ports
for high-speed storage I/O consolidation. They can be
positioned as converged top-of-rack or spine switches
in data center environments as well as core and
aggregation devices in campus networks.
KEY BENEFITS Best choice for core network rightsizing in new and
existing converged campus networks. All OmniSwitch
6900 models have a high density of interfaces, a small
footprint and a large L2/L3 switching capacity.
•
High availability by power supply redundancy, virtual
chassis technology and In Service Software upgrade
(ISSU)
•
Flexible deployment in data centers by choice of cooling
direction, DC powering, Fiber Channel interfaces and
VXLAN gateway in hardware.
•
Simplified management through virtual chassis
technology where a set of OmniSwitch 6900 switches can
be set up as a single switch.
•
Reduced efforts to set up Virtual Chassis and networks
by the unique Auto-Fabric feature that enables out-of-
the-box network deployment without manual CLI
programming
•
Reduced efforts to provision other network equipment
connectivity by automatically recognizing devices that
use standards based protocols
•
Improved data center workflow management through
automated network provisioning during Virtual Machine
movement.
•
Visibility and history of Virtual Machine movement,
visibility of service levels between Virtual Machines and
•
interfacing to VCenter with OmniVista 2500 Network
Management System
Business justification of the Data Center and Converged
Campus network investment by customizable predictive
network reporting with OmniVista 2500 NMS.
•
Ready for the future with support for programmability
through the OpenFlow protocol and publicly available
OpenStack plugin.
