Alcatel-Lucent | OmniSwitch 9000 5
Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9800The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9800 (OS9800) has an 18-slot chassis which
provides the largest capacity available in the OS9000 family and is designed
for those applications that require a large port density. Designed for smart
continuous switching operations, the two center slots are dedicated to CMMs
allowing redundant configurations, with 16 additional slots for network interface
modules. The CMMs provide two critical functions – active standby resiliency for
system control and active-active redundancy for the switching fabric. The 16 slots
provide support for up to 768 GigE ports or 96 10 GigE ports. Plus, key OS9800’s
sub-components – such as network interface cards (NICs) and the power supply
units (PSU) – are compatible and interchangeable with all other OS9000s as well
as the fan trays with the OS9700, reducing the cost of keeping spares and
lowering the total cost of ownership.
Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9700The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9700 (OS9700) has a 10-slot chassis that offers
high-density capacity supporting an aggregation of up to 384 GigE ports or 48
10GigE ports. The OS9700 supports two slots for CMMs and has eight additional
slots for network interface modules. Similar to the OS9800, the OS9700 has been
designed for smart continuous switching operation whenever used in a redundant
configuration. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9700 was named as Network
Computing’s Editor’s Choice for its superb manageability and ease of use.
Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9600The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9600 (OS9600) features a 5-slot chassis making it
Alcatel-Lucent’s low-cost, entry-point LAN switch solution that provides the small
enterprise the best performance-to-price available today. The OS9600 supports a
single CMM and four network interface modules. The OS9600 also future proofs
the investment since the network can be expanded inexpensively by reusing all
components in an OS9700 including the CMM, the OS9000 network interface
modules, the power supplies, and the large power-over-Ethernet shelf. By offering
the same features and capabilities as the other OmniSwitch 9000 switches, the
OS9600 provides enterprise businesses an affordable core that supports converged
voice, video, data and other applications.
