X900 Series

Advanced LayER 3 SwiTCHES

The Allied Telesis x900 Series is one of our most advanced series of switches and is unmatched in performance, flexibility and reliability. This series provides fine service provisioning granularity, high availability, and advanced QoS. All x900 switches incorporate a switching core that yields wirespeed IPv4 and IPv6 routing and most switches feature robust hardware with dual hot-swappable power supplies.

■■ 1RU semi modular platform ■■ Hot-swappable PSUs

■■ 1 + 1 PSU redundancy

Typical configuration:

24 or 36 x 10/100/1000T ports

AT-XEM-2XP

2 x 10GbE (XFP) ports AT-XEM-2XS

2 x 10GbE (SFP+) ports AT-XEM-2XT

2 x 10GbE (RJ-45) ports AT-XEM-12S

12 x 100/1000X SFP ports AT-XEM-12T

12 x 10/100/1000T (RJ-45) ports AT-XEM-STK

2 x high-speed stacking ports

■■ Allied Telesis x900 Series switches encompass the advanced features required in modern converged data center environments.

■■ The x900 Layer 3+ switches have fully non-blocking switching on all ports, so IPv4 Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing occur at wirespeed. This is ideal for high-end server deployments, and when aggregating Gigabit connections.

■■ The x900 switches also feature front-to-back cooling, maximizing their reliability in respect of the cooling requirement of the data center.

■■ 10GbE expansion modules provide high-speed uplinks, with the option of up to 40Gbps capacity to the network core.

■■ The x900 Layer 3+ switches operate with one PSU - installing a second PSU provides redundancy. Internal PSUs eliminate the need for an external Redundant Power Supply (RPS) that occupies valuable rack space. Built-in redundancy guarantees the continued delivery of essential services.

IPV6 specifications

Allied Telesis is a leader in providing advanced networking solutions, and its implementation of IPv6 technology showcases their commitment to future-proof networking. With the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, the transition to IPv6 is more critical than ever. Allied Telesis's IPv6 solutions offer an array of features, technologies, and characteristics designed to enhance connectivity and performance in today's digital landscape.

One of the standout features of Allied Telesis's IPv6 implementation is its robust support for dual-stack networking. This allows organizations to run both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously, ensuring seamless communication as they transition to the newer protocol. This dual-stack capability is essential for businesses that need to maintain legacy systems while adopting modern internet standards.

Additionally, Allied Telesis devices are equipped with advanced routing protocols that support IPv6, such as OSPFv3 and RIB (Routing Information Base). These protocols enable efficient routing and management of IP addresses across large networks. This enhances routing efficiency and optimizes network performance, crucial for enterprises operating in a high-demand environment.

Security is another vital aspect of Allied Telesis’s IPv6 features. The technology includes native support for IPsec, which provides encryption and secure tunneling capabilities for data transmission. This built-in security feature ensures robust protection against potential threats, giving organizations peace of mind as they expand their IP infrastructure.

Another important characteristic of Allied Telesis's IPv6 technology is its simplified network management tools. The implementation of IPv6 promotes stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC), allowing devices to configure their own IP addresses automatically. This reduces the administrative burden on IT teams and decreases the chances of address conflicts within the network.

Moreover, Allied Telesis's IPv6 solutions are designed with quality of service (QoS) in mind. This is particularly crucial for organizations that rely on voice and video over IP applications, where latency and packet loss must be minimized to maintain a high-quality user experience.

In conclusion, Allied Telesis’s IPv6 technology is a comprehensive solution that combines dual-stack support, advanced routing protocols, robust security measures, simplified management, and QoS features. These aspects make it a compelling choice for organizations seeking to upgrade their network infrastructure and embrace the future of internet connectivity. With Allied Telesis, businesses can confidently transition to IPv6 and unlock greater capabilities for their networking needs.
