Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850 Gigabit Ethernet L3 fixed-configuration Stackable Ethernet Switches
Document Downloads:
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850 (OS6850) series is comprised of layer-3 Gigabit Ethernet fixed configuration switches that address the needs of modern enterprise and triple-play networking with flexible, stackable configurations; power-over-Ethernet, high availability, first-packet wire-speed performance, and dramatically improved network response time over past models. Also included in the OS6850 family is the OmniSwitch 6850L, a Fast Ethernet model that is upgradeable to Gigabit.
All of the models in the family are stackable with other OmniSwitch 6850 models and perform wire-rate layer-2 switching and layer-3 routing for both IPv4 and IPv6 with optimal quality of service (QoS) for mission critical applications. The flexible configuration options makes the OS6850s suitable for a small/medium network in the core or at the edge of a large network where they deliver line-rate gigabit switching and routing performance along with extensive network security features.
Benefits
- Performance - supports real-time voice, data, and video applications OneTouch network management - benefits from using the same operating system (AOS) ad managed by the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Network Management System for simplified OneTouch manageability.
- Extensive secure network services - provided through network access control and powerful authentication and automatic containment and remediation by Alcatel-Lucent's Access Guardian and tight integration with the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2770 Quarantine Manager.
- High availability - the virtual chassis minimizes network downtime, reduces operational complexity and cost and increases availability for mission-critical applications by removing single points of failure.
- Ipv6 support - extends the life of existing equipment and prevents future expenses that would be required to upgrade to a switch that supports IPv6.
- RoHS compliant - limits the amount of hazardous waste in use.
- Gigabit at the edge - provides the intelligence, security and availability needed for the most demanding applications and user requirements.
- Server aggregation - the small form factor, high performance and rich feature set makes it a great aggregation switch, especially for space constrained data centers where the switch can be installed in the same rack as the servers.
