Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Ethernet Service Switch

With industry leading density and performance, the Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Ethernet Service Switch router supports scalable, reliable and predictable SLA-based services for consumer triple play and business Carrier Ethernet VPN services.

The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS) router is designed from the ground up to deliver revenue-generating Carrier Ethernet VPN services for both consumer and business markets, while minimizing operating expenses to reduce the total cost of ownership.

The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS router overcomes the limitations imposed by traditional Ethernet switches to deliver Carrier Ethernet VPN services profitably. It sets a new market standard for the delivery of Ethernet business services such as virtual private wire services (VPWS's) and virtual private LAN services (VPLS's), and for high-density, service-aware, Ethernet aggregation for consumer triple play services over IP/MPLS-based networks.

The scalable performance and port density provided by the Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS router is available in four chassis configurations:

  • 12-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-12
  • 7-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-7
  • 6-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-6
  • 1-slot Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-1


Benefits

  • Flexible H-QoS management enables operators to support customers requiring different service classes
  • Deliver profitable new revenue-generating Ethernet supported with customer enforceable SLAs, based on per-service usage, not per port
  • Use of MPLS in combination with bridged Ethernet, stacked VLANs and spanning tree protocol dramatically improves network stability, scalability, availability and performance compared to existing Layer 2/3 Ethernet switches
  • Product scalability and programmable architecture ensure forklift-free upgrades, enable remote management and reduce truck rolls (no technician deployment)
  • Built-in end-to-end Ethernet OAM capabilities enable rapid service assurance, diagnostics and mirroring
  • Superior service provisioning tools make it possible to bring new Ethernet services on line quickly


Features

  • Service-oriented architecture supports SLA-based Ethernet services with filtering, shaping and QoS on a per-service basis, and scales to support tens of thousands of customers
  • Supports IETF implementations of virtual private wire services (VPWS) and virtual private LAN services (VPLS)
  • Leading high availability features includes non-stop services, non-stop routing, MPLS fast reroute and in-service software upgrades (ISSU)
  • Supports a variety of billing options based on deterministic, tiered or usage-based billing
  • Industry leading density (by 2-3 times per rack) compared to competing Layer 2/3 Ethernet switches with 10 Gb/s architecture available today
  • Programmable fast path enables quick and painless adaptation and upgrades to new and evolving standards
