The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 10K platform is a high-capacity, high-performance modular Ethernet LAN switch based on our state-of-the-art Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS).It is field proven in enterprise campus, service provider, and data center environments and delivers uninterrupted network uptime with non-stop layer 2 and 3 forwarding and in-service software upgrades.
Deep packet buffers, a lossless VOQ fabric, and extensive traffic management capabilities improve application performance and user experience. Its scalability - beyond 5.12 terabits - will meet your bandwidth requirements for today and tomorrow. OmniSwitch 10K’s Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) and Ethernet Ring Protection (ERP) simplifies layer 2 network deployments and provides better performance and resiliency.
The OmniSwitch 10K’s class leading low-power consumption, front-to-back cooling, compact form-factor, and all front accessible components make it a perfect fit for data center applications and as a long-term upgrade to any network.
