Introduction

Avaya’s Ethernet Switch product line provides complete coverage, ranging from entry-level branch office, to high-performance wiring closet and data center server aggregation, through to network core applications.

This Quick Reference Guide is provided for the Avaya and Business Partner sales community, providing summary information, in one consolidated document, focusing on the strategic products from Avaya’s Ethernet Switching portfolio.

Customer Drivers & Challenges

It is predicted that the Enterprise market will be shaped by a need to plan for and incorporate key information technology drivers1:  Redefining Network Intelligence – moving from ‘dumb pipes’ to ‘smart pipes’ with

intelligence defined in the software associated with applications; a decoupling or abstraction of ‘service’ from ‘boxes’.

 Delivering Automation – a ‘Data Center Fabric’ that has the ability to converge

application and storage traffic, a ‘Network Fabric’ that flattens and meshes the network for fewer ties with embedded functions; the next wave of investment will be on the ‘Endto-End Fabric’ that extends across the entire enterprise (e.g. Avaya’s Fabric Connect).

 Revisiting Mobility – with consumerization of devices driving new expectations into the

enterprise (the BYOD trend), and the ‘mobile’ tag expands to include nomadic (Wi-Fi), mobile (3G), and remote (i.e. Branch Office); security and policy enforcement are critical as the network is the first and last enterprise demarcation point.

With one eye on these corporate drivers, the Enterprise CIO of today is facing an evolving set of challenges, with the top five being:

 24/365 availability  Business continuity and disaster recovery  Cost reduction and/or cost management  Demonstrating business value  Increasing rates of change and pressure to move faster

This shows that there has been a fundamental transition to business-orientated delivery from what was traditionally a cost-centric mindset; make no mistake, price is still a key buying criteria, however the focus is now more in terms of strategic purchasing, futureproofing, sound buying practices, and embedding value-for-money.

Avaya’s Unique Value Proposition

How does Avaya uniquely address the most crucial requirements of the Enterprise..? Firstly, intelligent components and designs are at the heart of Avaya’s reputation for

delivering the most distinguished resiliency model in the industry. Besides being fully scalable across the Enterprise, it has been independently tested to deliver significantly better resiliency than the market share leader and provides uncompromising end-to-end availability for real-time applications such as IP Telephony.

Secondly, providing dependability and performance only goes so far if the network is not efficient in its service delivery. An efficient network is a better performing network. Avaya’s network is designed with architectures that maximize all resources and investments, doing away with idle or under-utilized links, equipment, and even entire “architectural tiers” delivering up to 20x better performance and 1/3 less equipment.

And, last but of course not least, a network that is deterministic and optimized also needs to have the embedded flexibility to seamlessly scale as business demands evolve and grow. Through genuine innovation Avaya provides Industry-leading solutions that maximize capacity utilization, easily accommodate incremental growth, and therefore avoid unnecessary and costly forklift upgrades

In summary, while Avaya addresses each characteristic uniquely, the most impressive advantage is that Avaya excels at all three simultaneously

Product Positioning

Avaya has progressively tuned and evolved our portfolio to provide highly versatile and feature-rich alternatives that will fully satisfy the real-world requirements for mainstream Enterprise customers.

Focusing on the development of our strategic products, we’re able to partition the portfolio

by Access and Core functionality, and by Modular and Stackable Chassis formfactor.

There is an intentional element of crossover, ensuring that those Customers that are evolving and growing can purchase with the confidence knowing they have invested in a flexible and future-ready portfolio.

Key Feature & Benefits

Avaya’s Ethernet Switch solutions can claim a number of Industry firsts and/or exclusives:

 Fabric Connect – an end-to-end virtualization capability that enables creative and

flexible network designs; allowing networks to evolve with a dynamic and demanding business environment and delivers substantial time-to-service improvements.

 Switch Cluster – delivering that unique combination of superior availability, improved

performance, and simplified design; available on products that are fit-for-purpose in small, medium, and large network environments.

 Stackable Chassis – offering an exceptionally high feature level and value-for-

money proposition; making the choice between our Stacking solutions and competitive alternatives – even Modular options – a no-brainer. Also referred to as

‘Horizontal Chassis’ when deployed horizontally, typically in server racks in the Data

Center.

 Distributed ToR – a highly scalable Top-of-Rack solution, both in terms of the

number of devices that can be networked and the capacity of the virtual backplane; delivering multi-hop low latency that genuinely optimizes application performance.

 Unified Access – integrates the wireless data plane directly into the wired

networking infrastructure, completely decoupled from the classic WLAN components. In effect, this makes the hardware burden for switching WLAN traffic simply disappear.

 Access Control – combining the complimentary requirements of network access

control and host integrity checking; ensuring that only the right people gain access, and only from those devices that have proven that they are in compliance with corporate standards.

 Avaya Automatic QoS – a simplified network optimization for enhanced

convergence delivery.

 Avaya Energy Saver – the next generation of energy efficiency has again been

pioneered by Avaya; low-priority devices are dimmed during off-peak providing substantial incremental savings.

 Dynamic Power Management & Energy-Efficient Design – Avaya’s expertise as a

provider of total Core-to-Desktop solutions is again proven with our leading Powerover-Ethernet products that minimize power consumption and heat dissipation; ensuring lower operational expense, and complementing lower initial capital costs.

 Simplified Architecture – bringing together a number of our unique capabilities

enables us to promote an architectural design concept that is elegant in its simplicity; having multiple knock-on effects and advantages – reducing device count, better device and resource utilization (CAPEX), reducing operational and management effort and therefore reduced demand and drain on precious technical skills (OPEX).

 Avaya Unified Management – a fully integrated, single point-of-contact, providing a

unified view of the network.

Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series

The VSP 7000 is Avaya’s energy and space-efficient platform built around a next-generation chipset, delivering wire-speed 10Gbps Ethernet connectivity for today’s Data Center Top-of-Rack requirements. In addition it is future-ready with the ability to flexibly support 100Gbps Ethernet, Storage convergence, and has been built to support network‑wide fabric-based virtualized services and lossless environments; it features the unique Distributed Top-of-Rack capability.

Capabilities introduced in 10.3.x include the ability to concurrently support the likes of Fabric Connect and Switch Cluster, the ability to support dynamic IP Routing over the Switch Cluster, and a number of other operability enhancements. Additionally, the 7024XT and 7002QQ hardware has been introduced, and all features are now included in the Base License, and the former Advanced and Premier Software Licenses are now obsolete.

Typical Configuration: Switch with dual AC or DC Power Supplies, and possibly also an MDA. Orderable in either Front-to-Back or Back-to-Front cooling configurations; PSUs and Fans must match. SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ Transceivers sold separately, and for AC and DC Power Supplies and Cord options, see Common Parts & Accessories section.
