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.
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.
