Description

Product name: OmniSwitch 6900 Enterprise Core and Data Center Switching

Manufacturer: ALCATEL-LUCENT ENTERPRISE

Product Description

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6900 family represents the pinnacle of compact, high-density switching. Designed for both Data Center (DC) and campus core or aggregation environments, these platforms provide the high-performance, low-latency connectivity required by today’s most demanding virtualized and physical networks. Whether acting as a Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch in a data center or the backbone of a campus network, the OmniSwitch 6900 delivers superior scalability and reliability.

It is a fixed-configuration core LAN and data center switch family that delivers high-density 10, 25, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact 1RU form factor. Designed for demanding enterprise campus and data center environments, it provides wire-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching with extremely low latency for both physical and virtualized networks. Powered by the Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS), the platform supports advanced network virtualization technologies, including BGP-EVPN-VXLAN, Auto-Fabric automation, unified Virtual Chassis, and comprehensive RESTful APIs for programmable, service-defined networking.
