Introduction

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6900 fixed Core LAN and Data Center (DC) switches are compact, high-density 10, 25, 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) platforms. They offer high performance aand extremely low latency Layer-2 and Layer-3 switching for campus and DC Fabric networks. They are designed for the most demanding software-defined operations in virtualized or physical networks. OmniSwitch 6900s can be positioned as Top- of- Rack (ToR) or spine switches in DC environments, or as core and aggregation devices in campus networks. They support a wide range of protocols and programable interface (API) for building ALE’s autonomous Service Defined Network or overlay networks based on Software Defined Network architectures.
