Principle of operation for distributed intelligence
Resiliency – maximized network uptime
Network resiliency is critical to providing network availability. The OS9000s offer a superior architecture with no single point of failure and a
For single CMM configurations, network resiliency is achieved through switch redundancy, network path redundancy, and the L2/L3 protocols for smart use of the switch and path redundancy. In this configuration, the OS9600 has the best price / performance ratios.
1Requires dual CMMs in either the OS9700 or the OS9800
