Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000
Chassis LAN Switch
Alcatel-Lucent | OmniSwitch 90002
The award winning Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch
9000 family (OS9000s) is a product line of fullfeatured, high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet
chassis LAN switches that ranges from a low-cost,
entry-point chassis.
The OS9000s deliver future-proof solutions with advanced security and QoS
features for use in small-to-large enterprise cores, in the aggregation layer
and in wiring closets with flexible power-over-Ethernet support. The OS9000s
are a part of Alcatel-Lucent’s end-to-end enterprise switch family.
The switches support future edge requirements as Gigabit
Ethernet to the desktop becomes commonplace and demand for
power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capability increases.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000s are designed to anticipate
future network needs with wire-rate processing for simultaneous
IPv4 / IPv6 and support for unicast and multicast
applications such as voice-over-IP and video collaboration.

“This switch best supports the SNMP
standard and was the only participant to
supply a web interface from which we
could perform many tasks normally
accomplished on a CLI.”

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000 Family
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000 family offers flexible
features and benefits that make it an ideal switch to use
throughout your network and works exceptionally well
as a core or aggregation switch. The OS9000 family offers
a common set of network interface (NI) modules that are
compatible and interchangeable with all OS9000 models,
reducing the cost of keeping spares and therefore
lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).
The OS9000 family offers a wide range of GigE and 10GigE interfaces that provide the
industry’s most flexible combination of Ethernet interfaces for use in a wiring closet. It
also offers power-over-Ethernet to support IP phones, 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.

Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9800
The 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 9700
The 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 9600
The 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.

PRODUCT FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The OS9000 family provides an easy and economical way to upgrade or
deploy a new Ethernet network. The large number of ports makes the
OmniSwitch 9000s suitable for two- or three-tier network designs. This is
possible because of the high performance capability and density of GigE and
10GigE. The OS9000s also future proofs the network with native and full
support of simultaneous IPv4 / IPv6 for addressing migration from IPv4 to
IPv6 or new IPv6 deployments.
The OS9000s are engineered to be deployed in the:
The OS9000 switch family addresses the needs of
converged networks: high availability, wire-speed
performance, high density GigE and 10GigE, and
improved network response time.
