Alcatel OmniSwitch 9000

The OmniSwitch 9600 (OS9600) is Alcatel’s low-cost, entry-point LAN switch solution that

provides the small enterprise the best performance-to-price available today. It also future-

proofs the investment since the network can be expanded to support a larger core

inexpensively by reusing its current OS9000 cards in the larger chassis offered by the

OS9700 and OS9800. By offering the same features and capabilities as the other

OmniSwitch 9000 switches, more enterprise networks are able to afford a core that supports

converged voice, video and data and other applications.

The Alcatel OmniSwitch 9600 is a five-slot chassis supporting one chassis management module

(CMM) and four network interface (NI) modules. It offers a wide range of GigE and 10GigE

interfaces providing the industry’s most flexible combination of Ethernet interfaces for use in a

wiring closet. It also offers power-over-Ethernet to support IP telephones, WLAN access points

and video cameras. VoIP and video performance is also enhanced in an OmniSwitch-based

network through the use of policy-based QoS using OmniVista NMS PolicyView.

The OmniSwitch 9700 is a high-density chassis with two slots for control and 8 slots for

network interfaces supporting an aggregation of up to 192 GigE ports or 48 10GigE ports.

Designed for smart continuous switching operation, the two center slots are dedicated to

chassis management modules (CMMs) allowing redundant configurations. CMMs provide two

critical functions – active/standby resiliency for control and active/active redundancy for the

switching fabric. The Alcatel OmniSwitch 9700 was recently named as Network Computing’s

Editor’s Choice for its superb manageability and ease of use. 

For those applications where a much larger port density is required, the OS9800 doubles the

OS9700 capabilities with 16 available slots supporting an aggregation of up to 384 GigE

ports or 96 10GigE ports along with two slots for control (Plus, the OS9800 has sub-

components such as the power supply unit (PSU), fan tray and network interface cards (NICs)

that are all compatible and interchangeable with other OS9000s, reducing the cost of

keeping spares and lowering total cost of ownership.)
